Sutif contains terazosin as its active ingredient, a substance that acts as a selective alpha-1-adrenergic blocker, blocking receptors in the prostate, at the bladder neck, and in the prostatic capsule, thereby improving symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Sutif is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostate enlargement).

Do not take Sutif

-If you have a history of syncope (fainting) during urination.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take this medication.

-After taking the first two doses, a significant drop in blood pressure may occur.

-If you experience dizziness, lightheadedness, or palpitations, sit or lie down and call your doctor. When resuming treatment after interruption, a similar effect may occur.

-Syncope (fainting) may occur (in less than 1% of patients) after the initial dose of the medication, after a too rapid increase in dose, or when taking another antihypertensive medication. Syncope can be controlled by limiting the initial dose to 1 mg and administering other hypertension medications with caution.

Caution is necessary in elderly patients due to the high incidence of hypotension when standing in this age group.

-If you are undergoing cataract surgery, please inform your doctor before the operation if you are taking or have taken terazosin previously. This is because terazosin may cause complications during the operation, which can be taken into account and controlled by your ophthalmologist if you have been informed in advance.

Children and adolescents:

The safety and efficacy of terazosin have not been determined in children.
