Doxazosin is similar to Flomax and works in much the same way as Doxazosin as Flomax is also an alpha blocker that treats the symptoms of an enlarged prostate.

Flomax also works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder which also makes it easier for you to pee.

The drug doxazosin treats high blood pressure and also symptoms of an enlarged prostate.

Doxazosin is a medication that belongs to a group of drugs or medications called alpha blockers.

The drug doxazosin which contains alpha blockers reduce your blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels so that the blood is able to pass through your blood vessels more easily.

Doxazosin is also always taken at night because the absorption of doxazosin slows down during sleep, meaning at night doxazosin has a more prolonged effect.

Alpha-blockers treat high blood pressure by stopping A1 and A2 receptors from activating.

Blocking that activation relaxes blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.

Doxazosin can cost as little as $10.00 per month with RX coupons or insurance.

Hytrin is another similar drug to doxazosin and is a generic drug which also works well.

Both doxazosin and Hytrin are non selective alpha-1 blockers, which means they can lower your blood pressure.

Doxazosin can also make you pee more as side effects of doxazosin include needing to pee suddenly or more often than usual, pain or a burning sensation when peeing, and smelly or cloudy pee.

When taking doxazosin you should get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids.

This helps your body to flush out bacteria as well.
