Abstract

α1-blockers are a wide group of substances; there is possible to choose optimal α1-blocker therapy for various patients with lower urinary tract complaints. Since there is no one-size-fits-all drug, you should make the best use of the strengths of a given substance. In this study, non-uroselective and uroselective α1-blockers (tamsulosin and doxazosin) were compared.
