==ADVERSE REACTIONS==
 
Clinical trials were conducted on more than 900 patients. During these trials and subsequent marketing experience, the most frequent reactions associated with MINIPRESS therapy are: [[dizziness]] 10.3%, [[headache]] 7.8%, [[drowsiness]] 7.6%, lack of energy 6.9%, [[weakness]] 6.5%, [[palpitations]] 5.3%, and [[nausea]] 4.9%. In most instances, side effects have disappeared with continued therapy or have been tolerated with no decrease in dose of drug.
 
Less frequent adverse reactions which are reported to occur in 1–4% of patients are:
 
'''Gastrointestinal:''' [[vomiting]], [[diarrhea]], [[constipation]].
 
'''Cardiovascular:''' [[edema]], [[orthostatic hypotension]], [[dyspnea]], [[syncope]].
 
'''Central Nervous System:''' [[vertigo]], [[depression]], [[nervousness]].
 
'''Dermatologic:''' [[rash]].
 
'''Genitourinary:''' [[urinary frequency]].
 
'''EENT:''' blurred vision, reddened sclera, [[epistaxis]], [[dry mouth]], [[nasal congestion]].
 
In addition, fewer than 1% of patients have reported the following (in some instances, exact causal relationships have not been established):
 
'''Gastrointestinal:''' abdominal discomfort and/or pain, liver function abnormalities, [[pancreatitis]].
 
'''Cardiovascular:''' [[tachycardia]].
 
'''Central Nervous System:''' [[paresthesia]], [[hallucinations]].
 
'''Dermatologic:''' [[pruritus]], [[alopecia]], lichen [[planus]].
 
'''Genitourinary:''' [[incontinence]], [[impotence]], [[priapism]].
 
'''EENT:''' tinnitus.
 
'''Other:''' diaphoresis, fever, positive ANA titer, arthralgia.
 
Single reports of pigmentary mottling and serous [[retinopathy]], and a few reports of cataract development or disappearance have been reported. In these instances, the exact causal relationship has not been established because the baseline observations were frequently inadequate.
 
In more specific[[ slit-lamp]] and funduscopic studies, which included adequate baseline examinations, no drug-related abnormal ophthalmological findings have been reported.
 
Literature reports exist associating MINIPRESS therapy with a worsening of pre-existing [[narcolepsy]]. A causal relationship is uncertain in these cases.
 
In post-marketing experience, the following adverse events have been reported:
 
'''Autonomic Nervous System:''' [[flushing]].
 
'''Body As A Whole:''' [[allergic reaction]], [[asthenia]], [[malaise]], pain.
 
'''Cardiovascular, General:''' [[angina pectoris]], [[hypotension]].
 
'''Endocrine:''' [[gynecomastia]].
 
'''Heart Rate/Rhythm:''' [[bradycardia]].
 
'''Psychiatric:''' [[insomnia]].
 
'''Skin/Appendages:''' [[urticaria]].
 
'''Vascular (Extracardiac):''' [[vasculitis]].
 
'''Vision:''' eye pain.
 
'''Special Senses:''' During [[cataract]] surgery, a variant of small pupil syndrome known as Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS) has been reported in association with alpha-1 blocker therapy (see [[Prazosin precautions|PRECAUTIONS]]).
