Description

Minipress (generic name: prazosin; brand names: Prazopress / Vasoflex / Hypovase) belongs to a class of medications called alpha blockers.

Minipress is used for treating hypertension (high blood pressure).

Minipress can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medicines.

Minipress works by relaxing and widening blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. This helps to lower blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
