Cardura (doxazosin) is primarily used to lower high blood pressure and, in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), to facilitate urination. The medication accomplishes both of these actions by relaxing smooth muscle cells, allow blood and urine to flow more easily.

The improved blood flow produced by Cardura also makes beneficial as a treatment for erectile dysfunction. Less commonly patients may buy Cardura for off-label use in reducing the frequency and severity of night terrors and post-traumatic stress disorder; the mechanism by which the medication provides benefit in these conditions is unclear.

Lowering Blood Pressure with Cardura

Cardura is a potent medication even in very small doses, and it acts quickly---patients should monitor blood pressure and be alert for symptoms that it's dropping too rapidly or too low after the first dose. Treatment should begin with a low dose and be gradually increased over time:

• Start with 1 mg taken once per day.
• Dosage may be doubled every two weeks, if needed, provided the medication is well tolerated.
• Dosage should not exceed 16 mg per day.

It takes about two weeks of regular treatment to fully appreciate results. Dosage increases should not be made in shorter intervals, and not until effects are evaluated and understood after the two-week mark.

Alleviating Urinary Retention

In BPH Cardura only helps facilitate urination; it will not reduce prostate size or otherwise impact the condition. It is common for other treatments that more directly impact BPH to be given along with Cardura.

Treatment is similar to that in hypertension, but note that the maximum recommended daily dose is lower:

• Start with 1 mg taken once per day.
• Dosage may be doubled every two weeks, if needed.
• Dosage should not exceed 8 mg per day.

Treatment may continue for as long as needed. Patients who buy Cardura for BPH should also be alert for symptoms of lowered blood pressure, as the medication will produce this effect regardless of what it's used for.

Warnings & Adverse Effects

The most common side effects associated with Cardura result from decreased blood pressure, such as feeling dizzy when rising from a resting position, or feeling generally tired and weak. These symptoms usually stop occurring over time as the body adjusts.

In addition to low blood pressure symptoms, patients may also experience:

• Sleepiness
• Dry mouth
• Nasal irritation
• Headache
• Sleepiness or fatigue
• More frequent urination

The above side effects aren't cause for concern unless they become severe enough to be disruptive. These also typically stop occurring as the body adjusts to treatment.

More serious side effects are quite rare, but warrant immediate medical attention:

• Difficulty breathing
• Chest pain
• Chronic gastric pain or bloating
• Severe dizziness
• Confusion
• Loss of consciousness
• Erections that are painful or last for more than 4 hours

Extra precautions may be advisable if undergoing cataract surgery while taking Cardura, to ensure prevention of Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS). Be sure doctors are notified that the medication is being taken.
