Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

No, they should not be used together. Both are alpha one blockers and have the same mechanism of action. Additive effect can lead to severe hypotension.

They should not be combined especially if adequate control of symptoms is achieved with one drug.

Try to bridge the communication gap by informing your doctor about your medications if that was skipped previously.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
