This may be due to the inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis and/or the induction of water and sodium retention. 2. Cimetidine can slightly increase the blood concentration and half-life of doxazosin, but its clinical significance is unknown. 3. The antihypertensive effect of other antihypertensive drugs is enhanced when used with this product, and the dose needs to be adjusted. 4. When estrogen is used in combination with this product, blood pressure increases due to fluid retention. 5. The combination of sympathomimetic amines with this product can weaken both the pressor effect of the former and the antihypertensive effect of the latter. 6. In vitro plasma studies have shown that doxazosin has no effect on the protein binding rate of digoxin, warfarin, phenytoin, and indomethacin.
