Hi Steve,


Doxazosin's method of action is different than that of a PDE5i. It's main benefit is relaxing the muscles around the prostate. I'm sure you have seen this in your research.


I have taken low dose (1mg) doxazosin daily for years with good results. I wouldn't want to say definitively that taking it on demand would not work, but my thoughts are that unless you were one of those with an underlying prostate problem, it likely wouldn't do much for you.


The downside would be dependent on the dosage. Regular low doses help keep the muscles pliable. At higher doses, there are blood pressure concerns as it could cause your BP to crash.


I would keep the dose under 5mg. Also, it is contraindicated with PDE5i's.
