Prazosin Hydrochloride（Cat No.:A000734）is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist primarily used to treat hypertension and related cardiovascular conditions. By blocking alpha-1 receptors, it relaxes blood vessels, leading to a decrease in blood pressure and improved blood flow. Prazosin is also used to manage symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by relaxing smooth muscle in the bladder neck and prostate. Additionally, it is effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-related nightmares and anxiety. Its versatile therapeutic effects make it a valuable medication in both cardiovascular and psychiatric care.
