Abstract

In recent years, the effective therapy for patients with metabolic syndrome, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, has become a serious challenge. Doxazosin – a selective α-adrenergic receptor antagonist, has emerged as a promising research target in the context of metabolic syndrome. A new extended-release gastrointestinal therapeutic system formulation of doxazosin was developed to improve the pharmacokinetic profile of the parent compound and to reduce or eliminate the need for dose titration and the potential risk of overdosing. According to current guidelines, doxazosin has an important position in the treatment of resistant hypertension.
