Frequently Asked Questions

What is doxazosin mesylate used for?

Doxazosin mesylate is FDA-approved to treat high blood pressure and the urinary symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It relaxes blood vessels and smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck to improve blood flow and urine flow.

Is doxazosin mesylate the same as Cardura?

Yes. Cardura is the brand name, and doxazosin mesylate is the generic version. Both contain the same active ingredient and are held to the same FDA standards.

Do I need a prescription for doxazosin mesylate 4mg?

Yes. Doxazosin is a prescription-only medication in the U.S. A licensed healthcare provider must review your health information and issue or confirm a valid prescription before we can dispense it.

How does ordering and shipping work?

After you place your order, a licensed provider or pharmacist reviews your prescription and health details. Once approved, your medication is filled and shipped directly to you from a licensed U.S. pharmacy.

Why do I have to start at a low dose of doxazosin?

Doxazosin can cause a significant drop in blood pressure and fainting, especially after the first dose. FDA labeling requires starting at 1 mg once daily and increasing gradually under a provider's supervision, even if your target dose is 4mg.

What should I avoid while taking doxazosin mesylate?

Avoid standing up quickly, as doxazosin can cause dizziness or fainting, particularly early in treatment. Talk to your provider before combining it with other blood pressure medications or erectile dysfunction drugs like sildenafil, which can further lower blood pressure.
