α 1 -Adrenergic blocker; quinazoline derivative; structurally and pharmacologically related to prazosin.
|
|
Dutasteride prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the
body. DHT is involved in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
|
|
Doxazosin is in a group of drugs called alpha-adrenergic blockers. Doxazosin causes the
blood vessels (veins and arteries) to relax and expand, improving blood flow. Doxazosin also
relaxes muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.
|
|
Postsynaptic α 1 -adrenergic blocking agent; quinazoline derivative.
|
|
Selective inhibitor of steroid 5α-reductase isoenzymes, which are necessary for conversion of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
|
|
Finasteride prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the
body. DHT is involved in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
|
|
Specific inhibitor of steroid 5α-reductase; blocks conversion of testosterone by type 2 5α-reductase to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
|
|
Prazosin is in a class of drugs called alpha-adrenergic blockers. Prazosin causes the blood
vessels (veins and arteries) to relax and expand, which allows blood to pass more easily through
them.
|
|
Postsynaptic α 1 -adrenergic blocking agent; quinazoline derivative.
|
|
Tamsulosin is in a group of drugs called alpha-adrenergic (AL-fa ad-ren-ER-jik) blockers.
Tamsulosin relaxes your veins and arteries so that blood can more easily pass through them. It
also relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.
|
|
α 1 -Adrenergic blocking agent with selectivity for α 1A -adrenergic receptors; sulfamoylphenethylamine derivative.
|
|
Postsynaptic α 1 -adrenergic blocking agent; quinazoline derivative.
|
|
Terazosin is in a group of drugs called alpha-adrenergic blockers. Terazosin causes the
blood vessels (veins and arteries) to relax and expand, improving blood flow. Terazosin also
relaxes muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.
|
|
Alfuzosin is in a group of drugs called alpha-adrenergic blockers. Alfuzosin helps relax
the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.
