Typically, treatment begins with a low dose of Terazosin. Doctors usually prescribe 1 mg orally once daily at bedtime.
This low starting dose minimizes the risk of side effects, particularly the first-dose phenomenon, which can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure.
Your doctor will carefully monitor your response and may gradually increase the dosage based on your individual needs and tolerance.
The following table shows a typical titration schedule, but remember: This is a general guideline, and Your doctor will determine the best dosage for You.
| 1-4 | 1 | Once daily at bedtime |
| 5-8 | 2 | Once daily at bedtime |
| 9-12 | 5-10 | Once daily at bedtime |
Higher doses may be prescribed, but this is done cautiously and only if needed. Regular check-ups with your doctor are crucial to monitor your progress and adjust the dosage as required.
Always discuss any concerns or side effects with your healthcare provider.
