Cardura/Cardura XL Indications/Uses

Hypertension: Doxazosin/Doxazosin GITS is indicated for the treatment of hypertension and can be used as the initial agent to control blood pressure in the majority of patients. In patients not adequately controlled on a single antihypertensive agent, doxazosin may be used in combination with another agent such as a thiazide diuretic, a beta-blocker, a calcium antagonist or an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Cardura: Doxazosin is also indicated for the treatment of the urinary outflow obstruction and symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Doxazosin may be used in BPH patients who are either hypertensive or normotensive. While the blood pressure changes in normotensive patients with BPH are clinically insignificant, patients with hypertension and BPH have had both conditions effectively treated with doxazosin monotherapy.
Cardura XL: Doxazosin GITS is indicated for the treatment of clinical symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and for reduced urinary flow associated with BPH. Doxazosin GITS may be used in BPH patients who are either hypertensive or normotensive. While the blood pressure changes in normotensive patients with BPH are clinically insignificant, patients with hypertension and BPH have had both the conditions effectively treated with doxazosin GITS monotherapy.
