Zoxon: an effective medicine for the treatment of arterial hypertension
Zoxon, also known by its international name Doxazosin, is a selective alpha-1 blocker that is used to treat a variety of conditions, including hypertension, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and urinary obstruction. The drug is produced by the pharmaceutical company Lechiva JSC. in the Czech Republic and is available in tablets of various strengths, including 1 mg, 2 mg and 4 mg.
Zoxon is an effective drug for lowering blood pressure. It blocks receptors of the alpha1-adrenergic system, which leads to dilation of peripheral vessels and a decrease in blood flow resistance. This allows you to improve blood supply to organs and tissues, as well as reduce the load on the heart. Zoxon may also be prescribed to patients with chronic heart failure, as it helps improve cardiac function and reduce symptoms associated with heart failure.
Some side effects may occur with Zoxon, including dizziness, drowsiness, swelling, fatigue, nausea, and constipation. In rare cases, hypotension (low blood pressure) may occur, so it is important to carefully monitor blood pressure readings and consult a doctor if adverse reactions occur.
There are some contraindications to the use of Zoxon, including hypersensitivity to the drug, stenosis of the aortic and mitral valves, pulmonary embolism, severe liver dysfunction, pregnancy and childhood. Before starting treatment, you should discuss possible contraindications with your doctor and consult regarding the safety and effectiveness of the medicine in a particular case.
The interaction of Zoxon with other drugs also requires special attention. Some drugs, such as antihypertensive agents, may enhance the hypotensive effect of Zoxon. You should not combine Zoxon with drugs containing NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), estrogens or sympathomimetics, as they may reduce the hypotensive effect of Zoxon. It is also important to tell your doctor about all medications you are taking to rule out possible interactions and unwanted effects.
Overall, Zoxon is an effective medicine for treating hypertension and other conditions. However, self-medication is not recommended, and Zoxon should only be used under medical supervision. The doctor will determine the optimal dosage and regimen based on the individual characteristics of the patient and his medical history.
