Abstract:
Prazosin, a selective alpha-1-adrenoreceptor blocker, was used in a double-blind fashion to evaluate its efficacy in 20 men with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis who have no improvement with conventional treatments for 4 weeks. When the drug was compared to placebo therapy, obstructive and irritative voiding sympment with conventional treatments for 4 weeks. When the drug was compared to placebo therapy, obstructive and irritative voiding symptoms were improved (p<0.05). No side effects were noted except one who had indigestion.
