Dear Martin,
I am 65 and live in Thailand, slightly overweight, do not drink alcohol and have not smoked for three years. I received medication here for a slightly elevated blood pressure 142/111 and heart rate 75 and a slightly enlarged prostate.
My question is, can I take the medication together ie Amlopine 10 in the morning after meals and Pencor 2 Doxazosin 2mg
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
T.

Dear T,
You can take the medication at the same time, but I think it is better to do this in the evening, half an hour before you go to bed.
Keep an eye on your blood pressure and pulse. Make sure it doesn't get too low
Sincerely,
Dr. Maarten
