SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT CARDURA 1mg Tablets 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Doxazosin mesilate 1.213mg equivalent to 1mg doxazosin Excipient of known effect Each tablet contains 40 mg of lactose monohydrate. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Tablets 1mg white round, biconvex tablets marked CN1 on one side and ‘PFIZER’ on the other. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS _HYPERTENSION:_ Cardura is indicated for the treatment of hypertension and can be used as the sole agent to control blood pressure in the majority of patients. In patients inadequately controlled on single antihypertensive therapy, Cardura may be used in combination with a thiazide diuretic, beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent, calcium antagonist or an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. _BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA:_ Cardura is indicated for the treatment of urinary outflow obstruction and symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Cardura may be used in BPH patients who are either hypertensive or normotensive. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION POSOLOGY Cardura may be administered in the morning or the evening. _HYPERTENSION:_ Cardura is used in a once daily regimen: the initial dose is 1mg, to minimise the potential for postural hypotension and/or syncope (see section 4.4). Dosage may then be increased to 2mg after an additional one or two weeks of therapy and thereafter, if necessary to 4mg. The majority of patients who respond to Cardura will do so at a dose of 4mg or less. Dosage can be further increased if necessary to 8mg or the maximum recommended dose of 16mg. _BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA:_ The recommended initial dosage of Cardura is 1mg given once daily to minimise the potential for postural hypotension and/or syncope (see section 4.4). Depending on the individual patient’s urodynamics and BPH symptomatology dosage may then be increased to 2mg and thereafter to 4mg and up to the maximum recommended Baca dokumen lengkap
