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 it in these studies also had an improvement in their rate of urine flow.
High Blood Pressure
When doxazosin was studied as a treatment for high
blood pressure, people who took it lowered their blood pressure more than people who did not. This effect was seen as soon as one day after taking the drug.
General considerations for when and how to take doxazosin include the following:
- The medication 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 in your blood.
- You can take it with or without food.
- For doxazosin to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. The medication will not work if you stop taking it.
