Both medications are used to improve urinary flow although their
action mechanism is different. There should be no interference between
these medications. Consult your physician before medicating with
these.

Only your doctor and pharmacist know for sure.

If you take advice from non-medical folks in newsgroups, you're gonna wake
up dead some morning.

Chief,
No one is going to die. Both these chemicals have been used to treat
BPH for years. They have used them individually as well as combined.

Your warning is well taken as patients should not act on their own.

Combination of finasteride and doxazosin for the treatment of benign
prostatic
hyperplasia.

My previous response was based on the medical literature supporting
their use.
