CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Essential hypertension. Doxazosin is not appropriate for first-line
treatment.
It may be used as a monotherapy in patients who have failed to respond
to or
have contraindications to other agents. Alternatively, use should be
limited to

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The maximum recommended dose is 8 mg doxazosin once daily.
Essential hypertension:
Adults:
Usually 4 mg doxazosin once daily. If necessary, the dosage may be
increased
to 8 mg doxazosin once daily.
Larbex XL can be used as a sole agent or in combination with another
medicinal product e.g. a thiazide diuretic, beta-adrenoceptor blocking
agent,
calcium antagonist or an ACE-inhibitor.

Symptomatic treatment of prostatic hyperplasia:
Adults:
Usually 4 mg doxazosin once daily. If necessary, the dosage may be
increased
to 8 mg doxazosin once daily.

normotensive patients are clinically insignificant. In hypertensive
patients both

this
type it is prudent medical practice to monitor the patient during the
initial
period of therapy.
