Further information
1. WHAT TERAZOSTAD IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Terazostad belongs to a group of medicines called alpha blockers. It
works by
relaxing the blood vessels making it easier for the blood to flow
through. It can
also relax the muscle of the bladder and bladder exit.
TERAZOSTAD IS USED TO:

treat mild to moderate high blood pressure (hypertension).

treat urinary problems due to a condition called benign prostatic
hyperplasia
(BPH). This condition is caused by overgrowth of the prostate gland
and is
common in older men. When the prostate gland grows too big, it can
partially block the flow of urine out of the bladder. This leads to
symptoms
such as:

a weak or intermittent flow of urine

a need to pass water more frequently or at night

a sudden need to pass water.
2. BEFORE YOU TAKE TERAZOSTAD
DO NOT TAKE TERAZOSTAD

If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to terazosin, or to a
structurally similar
alpha-adrenergic antagonist, the colourant “sunset yellow” FCF (E
110) or to
any of the other ingredients of the Terazostad tablets (see section 6

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Adults:
For the treatment of hypertension:
The dose of terazosin should be managed according to each patients
response.
The starting dose for all patients is 1 mg before bedtime and this
should not be exceeded during the
first week of treatment. Patients should be advised to comply in order
to avoid first-dose hypotensive
effect. The dose can be increased by approximately doubling the dose
at weekly intervals until
effective control of blood pressure is established.
The usual maintenance dose is 2 mg daily. However, for certain
patients, an increased dose may
become necessary. A maximum dose of 20 mg should not be exceeded.
Reduction of dose should be undertaken when adding other
antihypertensive medication followed by
re-titration if required.
2
For the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):
The dose of terazosin should be managed according to each patients
response.
The starting dose for all patients is 1 mg at night-time for 7 days
and this should not be exceeded
during the first week of treatment. The dose can then be increased to
2 mg daily for 14 days, followed
-if necessary- by 5 mg daily for 7 days. Response t
