Causes the expansion of arterioles and venules, reduces OPSS and venous return to the heart, resulting in decreased blood pressure. The onset of hypotensive effect 15 minutes after ingestion (single dose). The duration of the hypotensive effect is 24 hours. The maximum effect when taking a single dose is achieved within 2-3 hours. The maximum hypotensive effect is achieved after 6-8 weeks of therapy. With prolonged use, a decrease in blood pressure is not accompanied, as a rule, by the development of reflex tachycardia.

The drug helps to normalize lipid metabolism: it lowers cholesterol, TG, LDL and VLDL in the blood, while increasing the amount of HDL.

With the systematic use of Kornama, regression of left ventricular hypertrophy is noted.

Special instructions

To prevent the development of orthostatic arterial hypotension, treatment should be started with the appointment of Cornam at a dose of 1 mg / day. before bedtime, after which the patient should be in bed for 6-8 hours

The risk of orthostatic arterial hypotension (first dose effect) is highest within 30-90 minutes after taking the drug and is increased in patients simultaneously receiving beta-blockers and diuretics, with a decrease in BCC, a hypo-salt diet, as well as with the resumption of drug treatment after a break (several days).

In the event of a temporary cessation of treatment, therapy is resumed with the same dose. During treatment, the level of specific antigen of the prostate gland does not change. Prior to initiating therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia, it is necessary to exclude prostate cancer.

The patient should be informed about the increased risk of developing orthostatic hypotension with alcohol, prolonged standing or exercise, or in hot weather.

Within 12 hours after taking the first dose, after increasing the dose or interrupting therapy, it is not recommended to engage in potentially dangerous activities that require increased attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Adrenergic agonists weaken the effect of terazosin.

With the simultaneous use of terazosin and NSAIDs, a decrease in the antihypertensive effect is possible due to the suppression of prostaglandin synthesis and the retention of fluid and sodium ions.

Overdose
