have been on 5mg amlodopine for 2 years without any probs and have just been prescribed alfozosin for prostate. gp seemed to think it's fine but nice & others flag this as a possible problem and the info leaflet actually says don't take them together. any experience or advice?

if you’re on good terms with your pharmacist you could have a word with him/her, otherwise back to whoever prescribed the prostate meds, in my opinion.

good plan thanks, easier to trust a pharma than an always changing gp :/
