User Reviews for Cardura oral

I have real issues with this med, it does not last as long as it should, and my hbp is still not under control...Im not a fan of this med, and will be consulting doctor for other choices

Watch out during your first dose, my pressure dropped from 188/110 to 90/60 in 20 minutes. This was not a problem in later doses.

I Feel more dizzy than before. I also have blurred vision. anyone else have this? 4mg.

I was taking terazosin for my BP:H, but my doctor switched me over to cardura and boy that was a godsend! I only take it at night once daily (because it drops your blood pressure quickly) and I wake up feeling fine! I used to have to get up 5-6 times per night with the terazosin, but I'm going to stick with Cardura for a very long time!

I am not sure that it was this drug that has caused his problem's today, but I am not giving him this drug tomorrow until I consult with his doctor. Within an hour after taking his first pill he became sweaty, confused, pale, low BP, labored resporations and low pulse. He has other conditions that could contribute to this, such as diabetes, but his blood surgar was 121, so that was ruled out as a contributing factor. These symptoms has continued throughout the day in a lesser degree. Putting into mind his medical condition, and the fact that the only new medication he has taken in this drug, I feel confident in questioning this drug until I speek to his Primary Care, and his Cardiologist, before continuing treatment.Read More Read Less

My son started taking this medication about two weeks ago for a bladder issue. He use to wet through his diaper, pjs, and sheets everynight and now that he has been on this medication he has been dry in the morning for about 10 days. we are even looking forward to potty trainng now that he can controll his bladder a bit better.

I was put on this medication for my kidneys by my urologist. Ive suffered from kidney stones for over 8 yrs. I believe he thought that it would be this miracle drug for me. it was hard to adjust to and had raceing heard and nausea for 9 days into takeing it. nearly three weeks in and my head was still spinning and horrible headaches. want to give a fair shot but have now started with swelling in my ankles and it doesnt nothing for it. stil have dizzy spells alot of the time. seriously want to get off of it.

I have been taking candesartan for 2 years, but my blood pressure has recently risen. I was prescribed 1mg doxazosin to use with the candesartan. I suffer from epilepsy which is controlled. I took one tablet only and had a seizure that same evening. I read all the drug information in the leaflet and searched the internet before taking doxazosin, but no mention was made regarding epilepsy. I have spoken to my usual pharmacist and understand that this will be reported.

with Cardura i can pee----without it i can't

I have been taking this drug for 9 months. It has been very effective for my diagnosis. However, I now have a severe rash covering 80% of my body. Has anyone else experienced this?

My BP was going up on Cozaar and HCTZ after three years so this was added at 1mg. So far my BP is in check and I am urinating better too. No side effects noticed so far after one month.

Prescribed Cardura 10 years ago, post brachytherapy. Medication works well to ease urination. Any time I have gone off it, symptoms of weak, intermittent urine stream and not empty bladder sensation returns.

Taking for both HBP and prostate. After only 1 month it has affected my sexual desire, ability to maintain an erection, caused a dry mouth, sleepiness, fatigue, and heart palpitations. After about 2 weeks, I have also developed a persistent dry cough.

cardura is a dangerous drug for me. dr. wants to lower edema in ankles and lower blood pressure. in fact it has lowered edema, but created new pain in groin and testes; last night my blood pressure went to 199, with 4 mg dose in am and 4mg dose in pm.

my husband started this 3 months ago for urinary urgency. no enlarged prostate or high BP. since then, he has become a different person. extremely depressed. hopeless, a complete change in personality. he has a horrible temper and seems as if he is someone completely different in all aspects of his personality. he also takes this medication with massive amounts of supplements. has ANYONE else had this reaction. i am desperate for an answer.

will have seed surgery for prostate cancer this week so far so good dry mouth, dizzyness at times seems to calm me [lower BP ?]
