Terazosin (Hytrin) blocks the actions of adrenaline on muscles in the arteries and prostate. This action relaxes the arteries, thereby lowering blood pressure. Treating high blood pressure reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease.
Terazosin also relaxes the prostate, alleviating symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) or enlarged prostate. An enlarged prostate can partially shut the urethra, making urination difficult. Relaxing the prostate allows the urethra to open to its normal diameter, permitting normal urinary flow.
