doxazosin and Alcohol Drinking

doxazosin has been researched along with Alcohol Drinking in 6 studies

Doxazosin: A prazosin-related compound that is a selective alpha-1-adrenergic blocker.
doxazosin : A member of the class of quinazolines that is quinazoline substituted by an amino group at position 4, methoxy groups at positions 6 and 7 and a piperazin-1-yl group at position 2 which in turn is substituted by a 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-ylcarbonyl group at position 4. An antihypertensive agent, it is used in the treatment of high blood pressure.

Alcohol Drinking: Behaviors associated with the ingesting of ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, including social drinking.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Doxazosin decreases voluntary alcohol consumption by male alcohol-preferring (P) rats, supporting a role for the noradrenergic system in alcohol drinking in P rats and suggesting that doxazosin could potentially be an effective once-daily pharmacotherapeutic agent for the treatment of alcohol use disorders."7.79The α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist, doxazosin, reduces alcohol drinking in alcohol-preferring (P) Rats. ( Beckwith, LE; Kincaid, CL; O'Neil, ML; Rasmussen, DD, 2013)

"The comorbidity between alcohol use disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder represents a serious health care burden with few effective treatment options."1.56Evaluation of the effect of doxasozin and zonisamide on voluntary ethanol intake in mice that experienced chronic intermittent ethanol exposure and stress.
