Product Details

Ternelin 4mg Tablets contain terazosin, an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker. This medication is primarily used to treat high blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow and reducing the strain on the heart. Additionally,  4mg Tablets are used to manage the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), relieving issues such as difficulty urinating and frequent trips to the bathroom.

Purposes

Ternelin 4mg Tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension and the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). By relaxing the smooth muscles in the blood vessels and the prostate, 4mg Tablets help lower blood pressure and alleviate urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate.

Warnings

When using Ternelin 4mg Tablets, it is essential to monitor your blood pressure regularly, particularly when beginning the treatment or adjusting the dosage. This medication may cause orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing), so it is advised to rise slowly from sitting or lying positions. Use caution if you have liver impairment, as dosage adjustments may be necessary.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of  4mg Tablets include dizziness, headaches, fatigue, and nasal congestion. Less frequent but more severe side effects may include fainting due to a significant drop in blood pressure, allergic reactions (such as swelling of the face or throat), and prolonged or painful erections (priapism). If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

Cautions

Use Ternelin 4mg Tablets with caution if you have liver problems, as this may affect how your body processes the medication. Inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking, especially other blood pressure medicines or drugs for erectile dysfunction, as these may interact with terazosin. Avoid abrupt changes in position to prevent dizziness or fainting due to orthostatic hypotension. Always keep this medication out of the reach of children.
