Terazosin is found
in the alpha-blocker or anti-adrenergic classes of drugs
and is used to relax the muscles of the bladder and
the prostate gland. Terazosin is used to treat overflow
incontinence in which the bladder is so full and distended
that proper voiding cannot be obtained. Overflow incontinence
may occur after prostate cancer treatment. Terazosin
inhibits actions of the sympathetic nervous system and
thereby causes the muscles of the bladder to relax which
allows the urine to flow out.
