Hytrin 1 Tablet
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Hytrin 1 Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. It is also used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia) in men by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.
Hytrin 1 Tablet may be prescribed alone or in combination with other medicines. It can be taken with or without food. The dose will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. Follow the advice of your doctor on what is right for you. You need to use this medicine regularly to get the most benefit from it, so keep taking it even if you feel well. High blood pressure does not usually have symptoms. If you stop taking it, your blood pressure may rise and put you at risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Common side effects of Hytrin 1 Tablet include dizziness, drowsiness, puffy feet or hands, and nasal congestion. Most side effects disappear when you get used to the medicine. If side effects persist or worsen, talk to your doctor.
To avoid feeling dizzy, get up slowly after sitting or lying down. It may also cause your blood pressure to go too low. Some side effects may be serious and need urgent medical attention. Your doctor may be able to help with ways of preventing or reducing side effects. If you are pregnant, thinking about becoming pregnant, or breastfeeding, ask your doctor before using Hytrin 1 Tablet. Also, talk to your doctor before taking it if you have heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease and if you are having eye surgery for a cataract. Your blood pressure will need to be checked regularly while using this medicine.
