Alpha-blockers (selective alpha-1 antagonists) relax smooth muscle in the prostate, bladder neck, and urethra to relieve obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). They also have selected use in resistant hypertension. The MedsBase Alpha-Blocker catalogue groups tamsulosin, alfuzosin, silodosin, and combination products with finasteride or dutasteride.
Currently stocked options include the tamsulosin Urimax line and combinations Temsunol series (silodosin) when in stock. For the full BPH-treatment context with selection guidance, please browse our BPH-behandeling category, where these molecules sit alongside 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and PDE-5 inhibitor adjuncts.
Belangrijk. Alpha-blockers cause first-dose hypotension — take initial dose at bedtime. Warn the anaesthetist before cataract surgery (intraoperative floppy iris syndrome). All MedsBase products ship from WHO-GMP gecertificeerde fabrikanten en vallen onder onze Reshipment Assurance Policy.
