Name:	prazosin
DrugBank ID:	DB00457
Structure:
Description:	Prazosin is a selective &alpha;-<sub>1</sub>-adrenergic receptor antagonist used to treat hypertension. It has also been used to decrease urinary obstruction and relieve symptoms associated with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia. &alpha;<sub>1</sub>-Receptors mediate contraction and hypertrophic growth of smooth muscle cells. Antagonism of these receptors leads to smooth muscle relaxation in the peripheral vasculature and prostate gland. Prazosin has also been used in conjunction with cardiac glycosides and diuretics in the management of severe congestive heart failure. It has also been used alone or in combination with &beta;-blockers in the preoperative management of signs and symptoms of pheochromocytoma.
