Alpha-1 blockers are a type of medication used to treat high blood pressure, prostate problems, and heart failure. By blocking the action of alpha-1 receptors in the body, these medications can help to lower blood pressure and improve symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and heart failure.
