Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
Do not worry, she won't have significant side effects and those will go away in few hours.
She may feel a bit of upset stomach- so it is important to drink plenty of fluids and eat well today and tomorrow.
Other then that you don't need to do anything. Terazosin and Finasteride act on the prostate gland and since woman do not have a prostate, they won't take effect at all. While Losartan it is a medicine that will lower her blood pressure but if she does not have high blood pressure it is one of those safe medicines that will probably just give vomiting for few hours. She can take a coffee which will help increase her blood pressure for couple of hours.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications. Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
