What is the alpha blocker?
Alfa Blocker is a drug designed to block the function of receptors in the body involved in muscle contractions, vasodilation and release of certain hormones. These receptors, known as alpha-adrenergic receptors, are found throughout the body. Doctors can prescribe alpha blockers to treat conditions such as high blood pressure, scleroderma, prostate enlargement and Raynaud's disease. These drugs are only available for safety and come in fast and widespread formats. In one example of alpha receptors, blood vessels and signal muscle contractions are lined with chemicals, causing the blood vessels to narrow. When people take the alpha blocker, signals to the contract do not reach so many receptors and the blood vessels remain relaxed and widespread, keeping low blood pressure. This relaxing effect can also help with problems such as difficult urination or poor circulation caused by narrowing of the blood vessels. When the Alfa blocker is first removed, the blood pressure drops and the patient may feel dizziness anddisoriented. Over time, the patient gets used to medication and these symptoms should not occur. Other potential side effects of the alpha blocker include weight gain, headache, heart palpitations and nausea.
If the physician recommends a blocker of Alfa, usually after other measures to check the medical problem, the medication seems to be the best choice. Medicines are available in different formats and doses and it is important to ask for clear instructions for safe and reliable use of drugs. Even patients who take such medicines should get instructions because change of drugs can lead to different directions of use. Medicines should be kept in a safe place, because for some people they may be potentially dangerous to some people due to the first dose effect.
Medicinal interactions in alpha blockers are possible. Patients should make sure all their recipes are listed in their chartsand pharmacy records to allow doctors to control any potential bad interactions before writing or relaxation. Patients using over -the -counter medicines should ask about the potential for drug interaction. A pharmacist or a doctor can provide more information and discuss alternatives if a particular drug for over -the -counter is not safe for the patient.
