Alpha-blockers (e.g. doxazosin, indoramin, prazosin, terazosin) lower blood pressure by dilating both arteries and veins. They are particularly helpful for older males who have both high blood pressure and problems associated with benign enlargement of the prostate gland. They sometimes cause a rapid fall in blood pressure after the first dose so treatment should be started with caution – usually at night so that if low blood pressure does occur, this is after you have retired to bed.

If taking Indoramin, you should avoid alcohol as it boosts alcohol absorption.
