1. WHAT DOXASTAD IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substance in your tablets, doxazosin, belongs to a group of
medicines known as alpha-1
antagonists. Doxastad is used to treat the following conditions:

High blood pressure. If left uncontrolled, high blood pressure can
increase the risk of heart disease
or stroke.
Doxastad works by widening your blood vessels making it easier for
your heart to pump blood
through them. This helps to lower raised blood pressure and reduce the
risk of heart disease.

Symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This condition causes
enlargement of the
prostate gland, which is just underneath the bladder in men. This
makes it difficult to pass urine.
Doxastad works by relaxing muscle around the bladder exit and prostate
gland, making it easier to
pass urine.
2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE DOXASTAD
