A member asked:
Is cardura (doxazosin) a reasonable second bp drug with lisinopril when ccbs, diuretics, beta blockers are not well tolerated? also on b-agonists for asthma.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it is an option: Cardura (doxazosin) or another alpha blocker type drug is an option when the other classes of drugs mentioned are not well tolerated. Alpha blockers can cause dizziness so they are best taken at night to minimize this effect. The dose needs to be increased slowly. Make sure you are exercising and minimizing salt, alcohol and caffeine as well.
