Prazosin 1 mg/ml Oral Suspension (Vet) is a compounded formulation designed for veterinary use. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of hypertension, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and urinary incontinence in dogs. Additionally, it can be used to manage congestive heart failure in cats. Prazosin, the active ingredient, is a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist. It functions by blocking the action of certain hormones in the body, leading to a decrease in blood pressure.

Observing the patient's response to the medication and any side effects is also important. Common side effects of Prazosin include dizziness, drowsiness, headache, nausea, and vomiting.
