Doxazosin is used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlargement of the prostate).

This medicine helps relieve symptoms of prostate enlargement such as slow or interrupted flow of urine, frequent urination, dribbling after passing urine and a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying.

Doxazosin may also be used on its own or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure.

This medicine may be used to treat other conditions as decided by your doctor.
