| Description |
Prazosin, also known as _Minipress_, is a drug used to treat hypertension. Prazosin is marketed by _Pfizer_ and was initially approved by the FDA in 1988 [L5828]. It belongs to the class of drugs known as alpha-1 antagonists [FDA label], [A176630].
Recently, many studies have evaluated the benefits of this drug in controlling the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and associated nightmares [A176618, A176621, A176624]. |
| Indications and Usage |
This drug is indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). Prazosin can be given alone or given with other blood pressure-lowering drugs, including diuretics or beta-adrenergic blocking agents [FDA label].
Prazosin does not negatively impact lung function, and therefore may be used to manage hypertension in patients who are asthmatic or patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD)[A176630]. |
