THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Antihypertensive
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
TEVA-PRAZOSIN (prazosin hydrochloride) is a sympatholytic
antihypertensive agent. Its
primary mechanism of action is the competitive blockade of the
vascular postsynaptic alpha-
adrenoceptors. Prazosin acts preferentially on post-synaptic alpha
1
-receptors, thereby
blocking the contractile response of vascular smooth muscle to
norepinephrine without
interfering with its activity at alpha
2
-receptors. Abrupt termination of prazosin treatment does
not appear to cause a rebound elevation in blood pressure. Tolerance
to prazosin does not
appear to develop.
Hemodynamic studies have shown that the decrease in blood pressure is
not accompanied by
any significant changes in renal blood flow or glomerular filtration
rate.
A comparative three-way bioavailability study was conducted in order
to compare TEVA-
PRAZOSIN 1 mg and 2 mg Tablets with MINIPRESS
®
2 mg Tablets. The pharmacokinetic
data (mean ± standard deviation) calculated for TEVA-PRAZOSIN and
MINIPRESS
®
