Terazosin - an alpha-blocker

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine may only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start taking terazosin it is important that your doctor knows:

• If you ever feel dizzy or faint when you stand up, or if you have ever fainted after passing urine.
• If you need to have cataract eye surgery.
• If you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
• If you have ever had an allergic reaction to a medicine.
• If you are taking or using any other medicines. This includes any medicines you are taking which are available to buy without a prescription, such as herbal and complementary medicines.
