WHAT MINIPRESS IS USED FOR
MINIPRESS is one of a group of
medicines called alpha-blockers.
It is usually used to treat high blood
pressure (hypertension). It may also be
used to treat heart failure (left ventricle-
related), painful cold fingers (Raynaud’s
Disease) or mild enlargement of the
prostate gland (Benign prostatic
hyperplasia) in men.
HOW MINIPRESS WORKS
In patients with high blood pressure
(hypertension) MINIPRESS works by
relaxing blood vessels (more on
peripheral vessels) so that blood passes
through them more easily. It can be used
alone or in combination with other drugs
used to treat hypertension.
In patients with heart failure,
MINIPRESS works by relaxing the main
blood vessels of the heart, allowing the
heart to pump blood more easily.
MINIPRESS is usually used in heart
failure when other drugs are either no
longer working or have not worked at all.
In patients with Raynaud’s Disease, the
treatment relaxes blood vessels in the
hands, so blood can reach the fingers
more easily. This helps to prevent
coldness and stiffness.
In patients with Benign Prostatic
Hyperplasia, enlargement of the prostate
gland, the medicine is taken to treat the
poor and/or frequent passing of urine.
This is common in patients with
enlargement of the prostate gland. The
treatment works by relaxing muscle
around the bladder and prostate gland so
urine can pass through easily.
You should ask your doctor if you are
unsure why you have been given
MINIPRESS.
BEFORE YOU USE MINIPRESS
- _ When you must not use it _

•
