Cardura 1 Mg Tablets

Cardura 1 Mg Tablets

Description:

Cardura 1 mg tablets are a prescription antihypertensive medicine containing doxazosin, a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist (alpha-blocker). They are primarily used to treat high blood pressure and to improve urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) in adult men. By relaxing blood vessels and smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, Cardura 1 mg tablets help lower blood pressure, enhance blood flow, and relieve difficulty in urination. This product is intended for use under medical supervision only.

Indications:

• Treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults, either as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
• Management of urinary symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) in adult men, including weak urinary stream, hesitancy, incomplete bladder emptying, and frequent or urgent urination.
• Reduction of total peripheral vascular resistance and improvement of blood flow, contributing to cardiovascular risk management as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Doxazosin mesylate – 1 mg per tablet (expressed as doxazosin 1 mg)
• Excipients: tablet core and coating excipients (such as fillers, binders, disintegrants, and colorants) – exact composition and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website. Please refer to the official package leaflet for the full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use Cardura 1 mg tablets exactly as prescribed by your physician. Do not change your dose or stop treatment without medical advice.
• Hypertension (adults): The usual starting dose is 1 mg once daily, preferably taken in the evening to reduce the risk of first-dose postural hypotension. Your doctor may gradually increase the dose based on blood pressure response. Maximum recommended dose and titration schedule should follow your doctor’s instructions.
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) in adult men: The typical starting dose is 1 mg once daily. The dose may be adjusted by the physician according to symptom relief and tolerability.
• Tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. They can usually be taken with or without food, but take them consistently the same way each day as advised by your doctor.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
• If therapy is interrupted for several days, consult your doctor before restarting, as you may need to begin again at the lowest dose.
• Regular monitoring of blood pressure and, where applicable, urinary symptoms is recommended throughout treatment.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps lower elevated blood pressure by selectively blocking alpha-1 receptors in vascular smooth muscle, leading to dilation of arteries and veins and reduced total peripheral resistance.
• Improves urinary flow and reduces symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia by relaxing smooth muscles of the prostate, bladder neck, and prostatic urethra, decreasing resistance to urinary outflow.
• Reduces venous return and cardiac workload, contributing to better overall blood pressure control as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular risk management plan.
• May favorably influence lipid profile by decreasing ldl cholesterol and increasing hdl cholesterol, which can support long-term cardiovascular health when combined with diet, exercise, and other prescribed therapies.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to doxazosin, other quinazoline derivatives, or any of the tablet excipients.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of orthostatic hypotension, severe heart disease, hepatic impairment, or those on concurrent antihypertensive therapy, as excessive blood pressure lowering may occur.
• May cause marked postural (orthostatic) hypotension, especially after the first dose or following dose increases, which may lead to dizziness, fainting, or falls. Initiate therapy at bedtime or as directed by your doctor and rise slowly from sitting or lying positions.
• Use with caution in patients taking phosphodiesterase-5 (pde5) inhibitors (such as sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil), as combined use may increase the risk of symptomatic hypotension.
• Not recommended for use in children and adolescents due to insufficient safety and efficacy data.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: use only if clearly needed and prescribed by a physician after careful risk–benefit assessment.
• May impair the ability to drive or operate machinery, particularly at the start of treatment or after dose adjustments, due to possible dizziness or fatigue.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, heart failure, aortic or mitral valve stenosis, pulmonary edema, or are taking other blood pressure medicines, diuretics, or medications that affect liver metabolism.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects: dizziness, headache, drowsiness, fatigue, weakness, palpitations, tachycardia, edema (swelling of ankles or feet), nasal congestion, and gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea or abdominal discomfort.
• Less common side effects: postural hypotension (drop in blood pressure when standing), fainting (syncope), dry mouth, blurred vision, rash, or pruritus.
• Serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention): severe dizziness or fainting, chest pain, shortness of breath, pronounced swelling, allergic reactions (such as swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing, or severe skin reactions).
• If you experience persistent or bothersome side effects, or any symptoms that worry you, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
