I see that Hytrin is used for bladder problems. Note the warning

about it lowering blood pressure.

" Other medications may be prescribed to overcome obstruction to the

flow of urine in an attempt to indirectly 'calm' the bladder. These

include terazocin (brand name Hytrin) and doxazocin (brand name

Cardura). Since they can also lower blood pressure patients should

avoid getting out of bed too fast since it may result in a faint. "

We had an extremely negative experience with Hytrin! One of Gwen's urinary

specialists prtscribed it for

bladder problems an it dropped her blood pressure drastically. Not only

when standing but also

while sitting!

I take Hytrin for High B/P

Ann from Soddy,TN

[Guest guest]

i take 10 mg. at night. it has helped with the bladder problem and

possibly locomotor problems. i am on proamatine and florineff during the

day. presently my bp's are stabilized at the low 100's over 60's.

however, it has only been approx. 4 weeks that i have been on hytrin.

the neuro sees me every 2 weeks now for 2 hours to evaluate me.
