Your Medication Doxazosin

Doxazosin is also known by the brand names: Cardura and Cardura XL.

Doxazosin comes in 1, 2, 4, and 8 mg tablets and 4, and 8 mg extended-release tablets.

Doxazosin is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, and in men, used to treat signs of an enlarged prostate. No matter what your doctor has you taking it for, doxazosin is taken by mouth once a day with breakfast. If you miss a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you think about it. If it is close to time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your normal dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at the same time or extra doses.
