Can I take Doxadura and Losartan together?

Why this happens

Both Doxadura (doxazosin) and losartan are used to lower blood pressure, but they work in different ways. When used together, their effects add up (an additive effect), which can sometimes lower blood pressure too much.

What you should do

You can take these together, but you should be careful. When you first start this combination or if your dose is increased, get up slowly from a bed or chair to avoid dizziness. It is a good idea to monitor your blood pressure at home and let your doctor know if you feel very dizzy or if your readings are consistently low.
