How it Works?

Presnux XL 2.5 Tablet contains prazosin (2.5 mg) as the active pharmacological agent. Prazosin functions by relaxing the vascular smooth muscles, which leads to vasodilation and subsequently lowers blood pressure. It also relaxes the smooth muscles in the bladder neck and prostate, alleviating urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate.
