What is the most important information I should know about Hytrin:
To avoid falling, take the first dose of Hytrin at bedtime. Hytrin may cause dizziness. It is a good idea to take every dose at bedtime, if possible.
Use caution when you stand or sit up from a lying position, especially if you wake up during the night. Dizziness may occur when changing positions.
Do not stop taking Hytrin suddenly, even if you feel better. Stopping suddenly could cause your blood pressure to increase.
What is Hytrin:
Hytrin is in a class of drugs called alpha-adrenergic blockers. Hytrin causes the blood vessels (veins and arteries) to relax and expand, which allows blood to pass more easily through them.
Hytrin is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hytrin is also used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). It relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.
Hytrin may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
How Take Hytrin:
