Will I receive the original Hytrin?
No. Hytrin is the originator brand name, made by AbbVie, and Yasabai uses it to identify the medicine: you receive a generic with the same active ingredient (terazosin) at the same dose, mostly a recognised Indian branded generic. The exact brand depends on stock.
How much does Hytrin cost?
Hytrin comes in 1, 2 and 5mg strengths, in packs of 30 to 240 tablets, and the price per tablet for every option is shown above, in US dollars or the currency you choose. Larger packs cost less per tablet. Paying with Bitcoin or Ethereum gives you an extra 10% off.
