a-s medication solutions - doxazosin mesylate (unii: 86p6pqk0mu) (doxazosin - unii:nw1291f1w8) - doxazosin tablets are indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of bph. doxazosin tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. these benefits have been seen in controlled trials of antihypertensive drugs from a wide variety of pharmacologic classes, including this drug. control of high blood pressure should be part of comprehensive cardiovascular risk management, including, as appropriate, lipid control, diabetes management, antithrombotic therapy, smoking cessation, exercise, and limited sodium intake. many patients will require more than one drug to achieve blood pressure goals. for specific advice on goals and management, see published guidelines, such as those of the national high blood pressure education program’s joint national committee on prevention, detection, evaluation, and treatment of high blood pressure (jnc). numerous antihypertensive drugs, from a variety of pharmacologic classes and with different mechanisms of action, have been shown in randomized controlled trials to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and it can be concluded that it is blood pressure reduction, and not some other pharmacologic property of the drugs, that is largely responsible for those benefits. the largest and most consistent cardiovascular outcome benefit has been a reduction in the risk of stroke, but reductions in myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality also have been seen regularly. elevated systolic or diastolic pressure causes increased cardiovascular risk, and the absolute risk increase per mmhg is greater at higher blood pressures, so that even modest reductions of severe hypertension can provide substantial benefit. relative risk reduction from blood pressure reduction is similar across populations with varying absolute risk, so the absolute benefit is greater in patients who are at higher risk independent of their hypertension (for example, patients with diabetes or hyperlipidemia), and such patients would be expected to benefit from more aggressive treatment to a lower blood pressure goal. some antihypertensive drugs have smaller blood pressure effects (as monotherapy) in black patients, and many antihypertensive drugs have additional approved indications and effects (e.g., on angina, heart failure, or diabetic kidney disease). these considerations may guide selection of therapy. doxazosin tablets may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensives. the use of doxazosin mesylate is contraindicated in patients with a hypersensitivity to doxazosin, other quinazolines (e.g., prazosin, terazosin), or any of its components. risk summary the limited available data with doxazosin mesylate in pregnant women are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage. however, untreated hypertension during pregnancy can result in increased maternal risks [see clinical considerations]. in animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed when doxazosin was orally administered to pregnant rabbits and rats during the period of organogenesis at doses of up to 41 and 20 mg/kg, respectively (exposures in rabbits and rats were 10 and 4 times, respectively, the human auc exposures with a 12 mg/day therapeutic dose). a dosage regimen of 82 mg/kg/day in the rabbit was associated with reduced fetal survival [see data]. the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. clinical considerations disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk hypertension in pregnancy increases the maternal risk for pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, premature delivery, and delivery complications (e.g., need for cesarean section, and post-partum hemorrhage). hypertension increases the fetal risk for intrauterine growth restriction and intrauterine death. data animal data radioactivity was found to cross the placenta following oral administration of labeled doxazosin to pregnant rats. studies in pregnant rabbits and rats at daily oral doses of up to 41 and 20 mg/kg, respectively (plasma drug concentrations of 10 and 4 times, respectively, the human auc exposures with a 12 mg/day therapeutic dose), have revealed no evidence of adverse developmental effects. a dosage regimen of 82 mg/kg/day in the rabbit was associated with reduced fetal survival. in peri- and postnatal studies in rats, postnatal development at maternal doses of 40 or 50 mg/kg/day of doxazosin (about 8 times human auc exposure with a 12 mg/day therapeutic dose) was delayed, as evidenced by slower body weight gain and slightly later appearance of anatomical features and reflexes. risk summary there is limited information on the presence of doxazosin mesylate in human milk [see data]. there is no information on the effects of doxazosin mesylate on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production. data a single case study reports that doxazosin mesylate is present in human milk, which resulted in an infant dose of less than 1% of the maternal weight-adjusted dosage and a milk/plasma ratio of 0.1. however, these data are insufficient to confirm the presence of doxazosin mesylate in human milk. the safety and effectiveness of doxazosin mesylate has not been established in children. benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) the safety and effectiveness profile of doxazosin mesylate was similar in the elderly (age ≥ 65 years) and younger (age < 65 years) patients. hypertension clinical studies of doxazosin mesylate did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. in general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. doxazosin mesylate is extensively metabolized in the liver. hepatic impairment is expected to increase exposure to doxazosin. use of doxazosin mesylate in patients with severe hepatic impairment (child-pugh class c) is not recommended. monitor blood pressure and for symptoms of hypotension in patients with lesser degrees of hepatic impairment (child-pugh class a and b) [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)].
