Noni and Doxazosin Mesylate

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Doxazosin Mesylate

Doxazosin Mesylate falls under ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS — the group Noni interacts with.

Theoretically, noni may increase the risk of hypotension when used in combination with antihypertensive drugs.
Preliminary clinical research suggests that drinking noni juice can reduce blood pressure in individuals with hypertension.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the simple version: doxazosin already lowers your blood pressure by relaxing your blood vessels. Some early research hints that noni juice may nudge blood pressure down too. Put the two together and, in theory, your pressure could dip a little lower than expected. With doxazosin, the side effect to watch for is feeling dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, especially when you stand up quickly (that first-dose 'whoosh' is a known thing with this drug).

I want to keep this in perspective. This is based on weak, anecdotal evidence, not strong studies, so it's a possible concern rather than a proven one. If you'd like to try noni, mention it to your pharmacist or doctor first, and rise slowly from sitting or lying down to be safe.

About Noni

What is Noni?

Noni is a tropical fruit used widely in folk medicine and sold mostly as a juice or supplement, but solid human evidence for its many claimed benefits is limited. While moderate juice intake is generally well tolerated, there are rare reports of liver problems, and it should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you have kidney or liver disease.
