Hytrin General Information
Hytrin is in a group of drugs called alpha-adrenergic blockers.
Hytrin is used for treating signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Hytrin is also used for treating high blood pressure (hypertension).
Hytrin works by relaxing and expanding muscles in the blood vessels, resulting in lowering of blood pressure. In BPH, Hytrin works by relaxing muscles around the urethra (tube that drains urine from the bladder), which improves urinary symptoms.
