Prazosin

• UNSPSC Description:

  Prazosin is an α-adrenergic receptor antagonist. Prazosin can reduce inflammation, relieve anxiety, alleviate panic, prevent memory decline, and modulate the pain-relieving effects of opioids. Prazosin can be used in the study of hypertension and Alzheimer’s disease[1][2][3][4].
