Alpha Blockers
Alpha Blockers is a category of drug that opens up the prostate channel to allow better flow of the stream and less urinary urgency and frequency. Some examples of alpha blockers are Doxazosin (Cardura), Terazosin (Hytrin), Tamsulosin (Flomax), Silodosin (Rapaflo), and Alfuzosin (Uroxatral). Alpha Blockers work to open the prostate channel and improvement of symptoms should show within 1 to 2 weeks of use. However, alpha blockers may cause lightheadedness, nasal congestion, or reduced volume of semen.
