There are two different medications used for BPH. Plus, there is also minimal invasive
treatment for BPH.
Medications used are Alpha-blockers and Alpha-reductase inhibitors.
Medicines such as alpha-blockers and alpha-reductase inhibitors are used to treat BPH.
The majority of men with BPH who start taking medication will need to continue it
forever to ease symptoms unless they get some form of prostate surgery.
Alpha-blockers
For treating mild BPH symptoms, alpha-blockers are used. These medications relax the
neck muscles of the prostate and bladder, which facilitates easier urine flow. Low blood pressure and lightheadedness are some of the side effects.
types of medications terazosin (Hytrin), doxazosin (Cardura), tamsulosin (Flomax),
alfuzosin (Uroxatral), and silodosin (Rapaflo).
Alpha-reductase inhibitors
These drugs both reduce the size of the prostate and inhibit further growth. Types of
alpha-reductase inhibitors are Finasteride (Proscar) and dutasteride (Avodart).
These medications are second-line treatments for BPH.
Men who use alpha-reductase inhibitors can experience reduced sex desire, problems
getting an erection or ejaculating, or depressive symptoms.
Combination treatment
Your doctor may recommend a combination drug if the first two treatments, even at a
greater dose are ineffective.
Alpha-blockers and alpha-reductase inhibitors may be prescribed together for some
men.
Please visit a urologist, as a doctor is the only who can suggest the best treatment for
your problems.
