Hytrin 1mg Tablet contains terazosin 1mg, an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. It also relaxes the muscles around the prostate and bladder neck, helping improve urinary flow in men with an enlarged prostate (BPH).

Hytrin 1mg may therefore be prescribed for hypertension or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), depending on the patient's condition. The 1mg strength is often used as a starting dose for terazosin because the medicine can cause a significant drop in blood pressure, particularly when treatment is first started or the dose is increased.

Take Hytrin exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The first dose is commonly taken at bedtime to reduce the risk of dizziness or fainting. Avoid driving or standing up suddenly until you know how the medicine affects you.
