Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Prostate
Taking tamsulosin .4mg and amlodipine .5mg for blood pressure. Flomax or the tamsulosin has now been changed to doxazosin 2mg. Should the amlodipine and doxazosin be of concern to blood pressure when the doxazosin is used for control of an enlarged prostate.

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Doxazosin is an alpha-blocker used to treat enlarged prostate. It can also affect blood pressure by lowering it.
Both doxazosin and amlodipine can lower your blood pressure (bp). Keep monitoring your blood pressure, record the results for future reference. Your doctor might need to know the fluctuations in your bp before changing anti-hypertensive therapy.
All the best.
