Medicine Description cardura-uae 4 mg
cardura 4 mg 14 tablets - rosheta uae is a medication that contains doxazosin, an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker. This drug works by selectively inhibiting the alpha-1 adrenergic receptors located on the vascular smooth muscle lining. By blocking these receptors, doxazosin causes the relaxation of blood vessels, leading to a decrease in vascular resistance and subsequently lowering blood pressure. Additionally, doxazosin relaxes the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck, which alleviates urinary obstruction symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This dual action makes Cardura effective for both hypertension management and the treatment of BPH.
