Minipress XL is an extended-release (XL) formulation intended for gradual and sustained release of prazosin, which helps maintain more stable blood levels and reduces the need for frequent dosing. It is medically documented that the tablet's empty or nearly empty outer shell may appear in the stool, known as a "ghost tablet," and this is normal; it does not mean the medicine was ineffective, as the active drug is already absorbed. While prazosin is available in other forms, do not attempt to switch or replace it on your own, as the release pattern, dose, and other factors are crucial for safety and effectiveness; any change should be made only under a doctor's guidance.

If Minipress XL (Prazosin 5 mg) tablets are not dissolving properly, there are several substitute brands with the same active ingredient, Prazosin, that you might consider after consulting your doctor.
- Alternatives include PRAZONOL 5 XL Tablet, Prazoril XL 5 Tablet, Prazocel 5 mg Tablet, Renopress XL 5 Tablet, and Prazoren XL 5 mg Tablet.
- These options may have different formulations that could dissolve better for you.
- Always discuss with your prescribing doctor or a cardiologist before switching to ensure the substitute fits your treatment needs and medical condition.
Do not stop or change your medication without professional guidance to maintain safe and effective blood pressure control. If swallowing or dissolution issues persist, your doctor may also explore other dosage forms or adjustments.
