Brief Answer:
Yes, in less than 1% of persons taking it!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Terazosin has been reported to cause constipation. However, this happens in less than 1% of all persons taking it. If you are constipated, I will recommend increased fluids, fruits, vegetables and fiber intake. In addition, regular exercise would help mitigate this constipation.

I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
