Doxazosin and Symptoms of BPH
In studies of doxazosin for
BPH treatment, men experienced relief from their symptoms within one week of starting the drug. The men who took doxazosin in these studies also had an improvement in their rate of urine flow.
Doxazosin and High Blood Pressure
When doxazosin was studied as a treatment for high
blood pressure, people who took doxazosin lowered their blood pressure more than people who did not take it. This effect was seen as soon as one day after taking doxazosin.
When and How to Take Doxazosin
General considerations for when and how to take doxazosin include the following:
- Doxazosin comes in tablet form and is taken by mouth once daily.
- Doxazosin should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your blood.
- You can take doxazosin with or without food.
For doxazosin to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Doxazosin will not work if you stop taking it.
