Doxafelix 4mg Tablet

Doxafelix 4mg Tablet contains Doxazosin Tablets USP 4 mg, an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blocker that relaxes the smooth muscles of blood vessels and the prostate gland. It is primarily prescribed for treating hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterized by enlargement of the prostate gland causing difficulty in urination.

By relaxing blood vessels, Doxafelix lowers blood pressure and improves circulation. In patients with BPH, it relaxes the muscles around the bladder neck and prostate, allowing urine to pass more easily and reducing symptoms such as weak urine stream, incomplete bladder emptying, frequent urination, urgency, and nighttime urination.

This medicine should only be used under medical supervision. Regular blood pressure monitoring and follow-up are recommended throughout treatment. Do not discontinue the medicine abruptly without consulting your healthcare provider.

Doxazosin selectively blocks alpha-1 adrenergic receptors present in blood vessels and the prostate gland. Blocking these receptors relaxes vascular smooth muscles, leading to widening of blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. It also relaxes muscles around the bladder neck and prostate, improving urinary flow and reducing symptoms associated with enlarged prostate.
