Composition

Prazosin (5 Mg)

Presnux Xl 5 Tablet 10 is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), which helps reduce the risk of serious complications like heart attacks and strokes. It belongs to a class of medications known as alpha-blockers, which work by relaxing blood vessels to improve blood flow.

In addition to treating hypertension, this medicine is also used to manage benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), heart failure, and Raynaud's disease. For benign prostatic hyperplasia, it helps relieve symptoms such as difficulty urinating by relaxing the muscles in the prostate gland and bladder neck.

This medicine should be taken orally as directed by your doctor, who will determine the appropriate dosage based on your condition and response to treatment. Before beginning this medicine, inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects while taking this medicine, inform your doctor immediately. Continue taking the medicine for the full duration prescribed by your doctor for best results.
