Doxazosin is a member of the alpha blocker family of drugs. It blocks the hormone norepinephrine from the walls of blood vessels and the prostate. By relaxing blood vessels and the prostate gland, doxazosin lowers blood pressure and helps men with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) to urinate normally. By treating high blood pressure (hypertension), Cardura protects against heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease.
