What should I discuss with my doctor before taking doxazosin?
Doxazosin can affect the pupils of your eyes during cataract surgery. If you have cataract surgery during your treatment with doxazosin, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you take doxazosin. Do not stop using the medication before surgery unless your surgeon tells you to. Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have liver disease, or a history of prostate cancer. You may need a dosage adjustment or special tests during therapy with doxazosin.
