Abstract
Benign prostatic hyperplasia commonly is the most common cause of bladder outlet obstruction and can result in storage and micturition symptoms in men older than 40 years. Nowadays the a1-adrenoreceptor antagonists are the first-line drug for treatment of the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). However, a1-adrenoreceptors are known to be present in other tissues and this fact could be a reason of potential risk of adverse events, associated with changes in peripheral vascular tone, such as orthostatic hypotension, syncopal states, dizziness, etc., especially in patients of advanced age, and those affected by cardiovascular diseases and taking essential drugs. A highly selective a-adrenergic blocker silodosin is characterized by a lower rate of mentioned adverse events, comparable with placebo. Silodosin is also highly effective in treating of both types of LUTS in these patients, both as monotherapy and in combination with other drugs. A detailed analysis of clinical data confirming the high efficacy and safety of silodosin is presented in this review of the literature.
