Abstract
Prazosin is one of the alphaone adrenoreceptor blocker used in hypertension, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer etc. The alpha blockers are relatively inexpensive and exert their effects quickly and Prazosin is the most commonly used alpha blocker. This review highlights various analytical methods for the determination of Prazosin hydrochloride in different matrices. Analytical methods reported are classified into four categories viz; spectrophotometry, chromatography, pharmacopoeial and other methods. The methods were described in terms of sensitivity (LOD & LOQ), linear range, principle and its applicability. This review also briefly highlights pharmacology of prazosin. This review is helpful for the researchers and scientists studying Prazosin hydrochloride in its analytical and pharmacological aspect.
