title: [Combined use of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and alpha-l adrenergic receptor blockers in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia].
abstract: 88 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were given the inhibitor of 5 alpha-reductase proscar (finasteride, Merck and Co. Inc., USA) for 12-14 months and uroselective blocker of alpha-adrenoreceptors alfuzosin (dalfas, Synthelabo Group, France) for 4-5 months. The patients were examined before the combined treatment and on the treatment month 1, 3, 6 and 12. The proscar plus alfuzosin combination produced a response after 2-3-week treatment due to alpha-blocker Further, the effect was enhanced by the action of inhibitor of 5 alpha-reductase. Combination of alfuzosin with proscar meets three principal requirements demanded of BPH chemotherapy: improves urination, inhibits the growth of adenomatous tissue, diminishes the size of the enlarged prostate.
