A 60-year-old male presents to the general practice.

A 60-year-old male presents to the general practice. He was seen 3 months ago with chest pain and difficulty voiding urine. He was started on some medications for angina and benign prostatic hypertrophy. He has a history of recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Since his last appointment, he reports feeling dizzy when standing up suddenly from a sitting position.

Which one of this patient’s medications is the likely cause of his postural hypotension?
