Some users may also experience headaches, nausea, or nasal congestion. These effects are usually mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare provider.

What precautions apply to Terazosin (Terazosin Hydrochloride)?

APO-Terazosin 1 MG tablets should be taken as directed by a healthcare provider.
