POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The duration of therapy will be decided by the physician.
HYPERTENSION:
The usual dosage limits of doxazosin lie between 1 and 8 mg per day.
The maximum
recommended dosage is 16 mg per day. The initial dosage is 1 mg, to be
taken before retiring to
bed. This dose is maintained for 1 or 2 weeks. The dose can then be
increased to 2 mg once a day
for another 1 or 2 weeks. If necessary the daily dose can then be
gradually increased, observing
equal intervals, to 4, 8 and 16 mg once a day, depending on the
patient's response.
BENIGN PROSTATE HYPERPLASIA:
The initial dose of doxazosin is 1 mg (1 mg tablet) on the 1st to 8th
day once daily and 2 mg (2
mg tablet) on the 9th to 14th day. Subsequently, dose should be
titrated individually to 4 mg and
to the maximum recommended dosage of 8 mg, depending on the urodynamic
parameters and
the BPH symptomatology of the patient. The recommended titration
interval is 1 to 2 weeks. The
usual recommended dose is 2-4 mg daily. Doxazosin is administered once
a day. If the doxazosin
treatment has been stopped for a number of days, the regimen should be
determined again.

the
pharmacokinetics
of
doxazosin
remain
unchanged
in
patients
with
renal
insufficiency,
and
no
evidence
exists
that
doxazosin
will
exacerbate
an
existing
renal
insufficiency, the application of the usual dosages is ge
