Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription:
Some patients taking alpha-blockers to treat high blood pressure or enlarged prostate may experience drowsiness or dizziness, which may be caused by low blood pressure upon sitting or standing up quickly.

Doxazosin Aurobindo may lower your blood pressure even more if you are already taking other medicines to treat high blood pressure such as terazosin or prazosin;
Nitrates (medicines for heart problems) as nitroglycerin and isosorbide nitrate may enhance the blood pressure lowering effect;
