| Popis: | The dynamic component of bladder outflow obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has been shown to be modified by alpha 1 adrenergic receptors. Terazosin is an alpha 1 receptor-blocking agent with a long half-life permitting once-daily dosing. This drug was administered in a multicentre, randomised, placebo-controlled trial involving patients with symptomatic bladder outflow obstruction. Of 132 patients recruited for the study, 86 were randomised to receive placebo or terazosin, 81 completed the study, and 80 were considered eligible for efficacy analysis. All terazosin treatment groups showed dramatic improvement in obstructive symptoms when compared with the placebo group, but these differences were not statistically significant because of the small numbers of patients in each group. There were improvements in peak urinary flow rates, mean urinary flow rates, and residual urine volumes for the placebo and terazosin groups, but there were no statistically significant differences in the changes between the groups. Terazosin was well tolerated by patients in this study and may provide symptomatic relief in patients with BPH. |
