Abstract

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are common disorder in older men. The mainstay of conservative treatment for BPH is a1-adrenoblockers. A review of the literature on silodosin, a selective α-adrenergic blocker, is discussed in the article. In clinical studies, there was a significant improvement in IPSS scores and maximum urinary flow rate in patients who received silodosin at a daily dose of 8 mg compared to those receiving placebo. It should be noted that silodosin has demonstrated long-term safety and early onset of efficacy. Compelling literature data to support the clinical benefit of silodosin for the treatment of LUTS associated with BPH is presented.
