DOXACARD 2MG TABLET

DOXACARD 2MG TABLET is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The detailed uses of DOXACARD 2MG TABLET are as follows:

• Lowers high blood pressure: DOXACARD 2MG TABLET relaxes and widens blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow and reducing blood pressure.
• Relieves BPH symptoms: DOXACARD 2MG TABLET helps ease urinary problems like frequent or difficult urination caused by an enlarged prostate.
• Supports overall heart and urinary health: DOXACARD 2MG TABLET manages both blood pressure and prostate-related issues, improving quality of life.

DOXACARD 2MG TABLET contains Doxazosin used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It works by blocking alpha receptors on the muscle in the walls of the blood vessels. Thereby, it relaxes and widens blood vessels so that blood passes through them more easily. This helps to lower blood pressure. Also, it relaxes muscles around the bladder exit and prostate gland. Thus, it helps to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) by making it easier to pass urine and empty the bladder.
