Taking garlic supplements alongside Doxadura (doxazosin) may cause your blood pressure to drop lower than intended. This can lead to symptoms such as feeling dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, especially when you stand up quickly from a sitting or lying position.

Why this happens
Doxadura is an alpha-blocker used to lower blood pressure and treat prostate issues. Garlic supplements have natural blood-pressure-lowering properties. When used together, their effects can add up (an additive effect), causing an excessive drop in blood pressure.
What you should do
Use caution when combining these two. If you decide to take garlic supplements, monitor your blood pressure regularly. Be careful when standing up quickly. If you feel very dizzy or faint, stop the supplement and speak to your GP or pharmacist. It is best to inform your doctor before starting any new herbal supplements while on blood pressure medication.
