Abstract

Angioedema, a potentially life-threatening occurrence, is an predominant adverse effect of antihypertensive especially angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. However, angioedema due to doxazocin, alfa-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist, was rarely reported in the previous medical literatures. Thus, the aim of this report was to evaluate and report a case of angioedema in a patient taking doxazosin. Healthcare providers should be aware when prescribing doxazosin because there was report of angioedema among patients receiving such agent.
