Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is one of the most prevalent diseases in elderly men. Medical therapies are targeted to relieve obstruction by relaxing smooth muscles(α-blocker) or promoting regression of the disease process (androgen ablation).Three major classes of drugs have been used for the medical management of BPH are α-adrenergic receptor antagonist, hormones and phytotherapy. Selective α 1 receptor antagonist is effective in the treatment of BPH. The development of specific α receptor antagonist such as tamsulosin with long half-life and no effect on blood pressure may offer improved tolerability over other selective α receptor antagonists.
