title: [The alpha blockers].
abstract: Because the bladder neck contains a large number of alpha-adrenergic receptors, use of alpha-blockers to facilitate micturition in early benign prostatic hypertrophy has been advocated. Effects on micturition and urinary flow were fairly favorable. No adverse effects were recorded. The effect of therapy was transient and slightly greater than the effect of the placebo.
