What is the most important information I should know about terazosin?

Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.

What is terazosin?

Terazosin is an alpha-adrenergic blocker.

Terazosin is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Terazosin is sometimes given together with other blood pressure medication.

Terazosin is used to improve urination in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate).

Terazosin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking terazosin?

You should not use terazosin if you are allergic to it.

Tell your doctor if you have ever had prostate cancer.

Terazosin can affect your pupils. If you have cataract surgery, tell your surgeon ahead of time that you use this medicine.

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Terazosin is not approved for use by anyone younger than 18 years old.

How should I take terazosin?

Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose. Use the medicine exactly as directed.

Terazosin lowers blood pressure and may cause dizziness or fainting, especially when you first start taking it or when your dose is changed. Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy.

Your blood pressure or prostate will need to be checked often.

Some things can cause your blood pressure to get too low. This includes vomiting, diarrhea, or heavy sweating. Call your doctor if you are sick with vomiting or diarrhea.

If you have high blood pressure, keep using this medicine even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medicine for the rest of your life.

Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light.

If you stop taking terazosin for several days or longer, ask your doctor before you start taking it again.

What happens if I miss a dose?

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

fast or pounding heartbeats or fluttering in your chest;
a light-headed feeling, like you might pass out;
swelling in your hands, ankles, or feet; or
penis erection that is painful or lasts 4 hours or longer.
