  • 2 In the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia, alpha-blockers such as tamsulosin and terazosin are also used. (drugbank.com)
  • Compared to alpha-blockers that focus on providing the rapid relief of symptoms, 5α-reductase inhibitors aim to target the underlying disease by blocking the effects of the primary androgen involved in benign prostate hyperplasia and androgenic alopecia, thus reducing the risk for secondary complications while providing symptom control. (drugbank.com)
