Prazopress XL 5 Tablet

Product Overview
Prazopress XL 5 Tablet is prescribed for managing high blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, which helps blood circulate more freely. It is also beneficial for men with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia), as it eases tension in the muscles of the prostate and bladder neck, making urination smoother.

Regular use helps lower the risk of complications associated with high blood pressure, such as heart attack or stroke. This medicine may also be used for conditions like Raynaud’s disease. It can be taken alone or alongside other medications. Even if you feel well, it is important to continue taking it as prescribed, since high blood pressure often shows no obvious symptoms.

Common Side Effects
Some of the frequently reported side effects include weakness, dizziness, headaches, nausea, or irregular heartbeat (palpitations). These often improve as your body adjusts. Sometimes, blood pressure may drop too low, especially at the beginning of treatment. Your doctor can guide you on how to manage or prevent such effects.

Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Also, mention any history of heart failure, liver or kidney problems, or if you are undergoing cataract surgery. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is advised during treatment.
