Prazopress XL 2.5 Tablet OPS

Overview of Prazopress XL 2.5 Tablet OPS
Prazopress XL 2.5 Tablet OPS is prescribed to manage high blood pressure by helping blood vessels relax, allowing blood to circulate more freely. It is also effective in men with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia), as it eases muscle tension in the prostate and bladder neck, making urination easier.

Regular use of this medication reduces the risk of serious complications such as heart attack or stroke. It may also be used to treat conditions like Raynaud’s disease. Your doctor may recommend it alone or together with other medicines. Take it exactly as prescribed, even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often has no obvious symptoms.

Uses
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
Heart failure
Raynaud’s disease

Benefits
For benign prostate enlargement, Prazopress XL 2.5 Tablet OPS relaxes the muscles of the prostate and bladder base, improving urine flow and reducing frequent or urgent urination.
