Description
Introduction
Hytrin 5mg Tablet is a prescription medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as alpha-blockers. It contains the active ingredient terazosin, which works by relaxing certain muscles in the body. Like any other prescription medicine, it may come with side effects — common ones reported include dizziness, feeling tired, swelling in the hands or feet, and a stuffy nose. If you’re new to this medication, don’t worry — it’s usually well-tolerated when used correctly, but remember to follow your doctor’s instructions closely and avoid standing up too quickly from a sitting or lying position to prevent sudden dizziness.
