Hytrin is the brand name of Terazosin, a medication that belongs to a group called alpha-blockers. It is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate gland becomes enlarged in men. Hytrin works by relaxing the blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure, and by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder, making it easier to urinate. Some common side effects include dizziness, headache, fatigue, and lightheadedness, especially when standing up quickly, so it is often recommended to take it at bedtime.
