Prazosin (Manufacturer may vary)
Prazosin is a medication for dogs and cats and treats high blood pressure, hypertension, congestive heart failure, FIC (feline idiopathic cystitis), and conditions associated with FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disease) like urethral blockage, spasm, or infections. Since it helps in controlling intraurethral intraluminal pressure, it is beneficial for lessening the symptoms of urolithiasis, ureterolithiasis, and prostatic hyperplasia.
Key Benefits
- Controls high blood pressure
- Helps blood circulate easily
How It Works
Prazosin causes the small blood vessels to relax (vasodilation). This makes it easier for blood to circulate, decreasing blood pressure and the work load on the heart. High blood pressure can be controlled or managed by drugs such as Prazosin.
Indications
Prazosin Hydrochloride is an alpha blocker used in the treatment of congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, and lung high blood pressure in dogs. It may also be used to treat obstructions of the urethra (urinary tract) in dogs and cats.
