PrazosinThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Prazosin but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Prazosin (when available) Prazosin is an alpha-adrenergic blocking agent used to treat hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Accordingly, Prazosin is a selective inhibitor of the alpha1 subtype of alpha adrenergic receptors. In the human prostate, Prazosin antagonizes phenylephrine (alpha1 agonist)-induced contractions, in vitro, and binds with high affinity to the alpha1c adrenoceptor, which is thought to be the predominant functional type in the prostate. Studies in normal human subjects have shown that Prazosin competitively antagonized the pressor effects of phenylephrine (an alpha1 agonist) and the systolic pressor effect of norepinephrine. The antihypertensive effect of Prazosin results from a decrease in systemic vascular resistance and the parent compound Prazosin is primarily responsible for the antihypertensive activity. For treatment of hypertension and chronic heart failure. Mechanism Of Action: Prazosin acts by inhibiting the postsynaptic alpha(1)-adrenoceptors on vascular smooth muscle. This inhibits the vasoconstrictor effect of circulating and locally released catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine), resulting in peripheral vasodilation.

Interactions: Interactions for Prazosin: Prazosin has been administered without any adverse drug interaction in limited clinical experience to date with the following: (1) cardiac glycosides - digitalis and digoxin; (2) hypoglycemics - insulin, chlorpropamide, phenformin, tolazamide, and tolbutamide; (3) tranquilizers and sedatives - chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, and phenobarbital; (4) antigout - allopurinol, colchicine, and probenecid; (5) antiarrhythmics - procainamide, propranolol , and quinidine; and (6) analgesics, antipyretics and anti-inflammatories - propoxyphene, aspirin, indomethacin, and phenylbutazone. Addition of a diuretic or other antihypertensive agent to prazosin HCl has been shown to cause an additive hypotensive effect. This effect can be minimized by reducing the prazosin dose to 1 to 2mg three times a day, by introducing additional antihypertensive drugs cautiously and then by retitrating prazosin based on clinical response. Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions In a study on five patients given from 12 to 24 mg of prazosin per day for 10 to 14 days, there was an average increase of 42% in the urinary metabolite of norepinephrine and an average increase in urinary VMA of 17%. Therefore, false positive results may occur in screening tests for pheochromocytoma in patients who are being treated with prazosin. If an elevated VMA is found, prazosin should be discontinued and the patient retested after a month.
