Minipress XL 5 Mg (Prazosin)

Medicine Overview

Minipress XL 5 mg, containing Prazosin, is an extended-release medication primarily used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and alleviate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Prazosin works by relaxing the blood vessels, improving blood flow, and reducing the workload on the heart. This helps lower blood pressure and relieve urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and nighttime trips to the bathroom. Additionally, Minipress XL 5 mg is sometimes used off-label to treat symptoms of PTSD, including nightmares and anxiety. The extended-release formula provides consistent, all-day relief. Always follow your healthcare provider’s dosage instructions for effective and safe use.
