Quick Reference
What Is Prazosin?
Prazosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist used in veterinary medicine to relax smooth muscle in the urinary tract and blood vessels. It is commonly prescribed to help relieve urinary obstruction and improve urine flow in pets. Compounded formulations allow veterinarians to customize dosing for small animals and improve medication acceptance.
How Prazosin Works in Pets
Prazosin works by blocking alpha-1 receptors in smooth muscle, leading to relaxation of the urethra and blood vessels. This mechanism helps reduce urinary resistance, ease bladder outflow, and lower blood pressure when indicated. It is frequently used in cats with lower urinary tract disease and in dogs with urinary or cardiovascular conditions.
