Can I take Doxazosin and Evolocumab together?

Why this happens

Doxazosin is an alpha-blocker used to treat high blood pressure or prostate enlargement, while evolocumab is a monoclonal antibody (PCSK9 inhibitor) used to lower cholesterol. They work through entirely different pathways in the body and are processed (metabolised) by different systems, meaning they do not interfere with each other's effectiveness or safety.

What you should do

You can continue taking both medications as prescribed by your doctor. As with any blood pressure medication like doxazosin, you should monitor for symptoms like dizziness or lightheadedness, but this is a known side effect of the drug itself rather than an interaction with evolocumab.
