Medical Overview
Cardura is listed as Antihypertensive containing Doxazosin. A blood pressure or cardiovascular medicine that helps control pressure and reduce strain on vessels or the heart.
Cardura (doxazosin) — the dual-trade alpha-blocker: BPH relief plus real blood-pressure lowering (smart for men carrying both). Non-selectivity’s price is the famous first-dose phenomenon — literally take dose one in bed at night, restart the ritual at each titration; tell the cataract surgeon (IFIS); PSA work-up before symptom treatment.
