Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Hytrin is an alpha-1 selective adrenoceptor blocking agent commonly used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and high blood pressure. Terazosin works by relaxing blood vessels and muscle fibers in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate. It also helps widen blood vessels to improve blood flow and reduce blood pressure. It is typically prescribed to adult men experiencing urinary difficulties due to an enlarged prostate gland or to patients needing hypertension management.

When starting Hytrin for BPH or high blood pressure, start with a 1 mg dose at bedtime, not exceeding this initial dose to reduce the risk of severe low blood pressure (hypotension). If needed, the dose can be gradually increased stepwise up to 10 mg once daily for symptom improvement, with some patients requiring up to 20 mg. Blood pressure and symptoms should be monitored closely, especially when used with other antihypertensive agents or PDE-5 inhibitors. If treatment is paused for several days, restart at the initial 1 mg dose.
The active ingredient in Hytrin is terazosin.
Avoid taking or using this medication if you have a known hypersensitivity to terazosin or other quinazolines.
The most common side effects of Hytrin include dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, nasal congestion, and low blood pressure when standing. Some men may also experience impotence or reduced libido. These reactions are usually mild to moderate and are more likely to occur during the first week of treatment or after dose increases. In rare cases, more serious reactions like fainting, blurry vision, or urinary incontinence may occur.
Other possible side effects include nausea, swelling in the limbs, headache, and respiratory issues like nasal or sinus congestion. Less common reactions such as chest pain, dry mouth, rash, and abnormal vision have also been reported. Rare but serious effects include allergic reactions, priapism, and intraoperative floppy iris syndrome during eye surgery. Talk to your doctor if you experience troubling side effects or symptoms that worsen over time.
