Hytrin 2mg Tablet contains terazosin 2mg, an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker used to relax blood vessels and smooth muscles in the urinary tract. It may be prescribed to help lower high blood pressure and improve urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate.

For high blood pressure, Hytrin works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. In men with BPH, it relaxes the muscles around the prostate and bladder neck, which can help improve urine flow and reduce symptoms such as difficulty starting urination or a weak urine stream.

The dose is usually increased gradually according to the patient's response. Because terazosin can cause dizziness or a sudden drop in blood pressure, particularly when starting treatment or increasing the dose, take it exactly as prescribed and follow your doctor's instructions.
