Most of the stronger sex are sure that nature has awarded them good health and no additional measures are needed. However, this is far from being true. men's health requires constant supervision and preventive measures, as it needs help for the prostate gland.

The inflammatory process of the male gland can begin both in young guys and in middle-aged and older men. The first signs can be prevented by the annual check-ups by urologists. However, men often turn to a doctor when the disease is already advanced, which requires thorough treatment. Most often, men are prescribed alpha-blockers for prostatitis.

What are these drugs for

This group of drugs is recommended for the elimination of inflammatory foci, pathological processes that impede the outflow of urine. Thanks to the active components, receptors are stimulated, which are responsible for spasm of the walls of the urea, sphincters. This facilitates the emptying process, avoiding the backflush which can be caused by the intraprostatic reflex.

Alpha blockers relieve unpleasant symptoms, improve the condition of patients. To eliminate the cause of the pathology, only anti-infectious agents will help.

The effectiveness of taking medications of this group is noted in the following state:

• decreased severity of symptoms;
• improved urine clearance;
• elimination of the inflammatory process;
• reduced pressure on the tubule walls.

Alpha blockers are the best drugs for prostatitis. These funds are recommended for use to improve the quality of medical therapy. The medicine is prescribed by a specialized specialist.

The use of funds is provided for:

• decrease in muscle tone of the urea;
• decrease in smooth muscle tone;
• blood pressure regulation.

More than 65% of patients have positive results after using the drugs.

How funds are classified

Medicines of this class are divided into two types:

• Selective - promotes blocking of alpha 1 receptors.
• Non-selective - promotes blocking of alpha 1, alpha receptors.

No prior preparation is required to receive selective agents. These drugs only in rare cases can cause side effects. Alpha adrenergic blockers are drugs taken for prostatitis, which have one feature that requires consideration when selecting patients of reproductive age.

The action of the active substances of the drugs affects the development of retrograde ejaculation, which affects the release of semen (the release is not made into the urethra) into the ureter.

Varieties of alpha blockers

There are some of the most commonly used drugs.

Tamusolosin

A remedy with a number of positive benefits. Recommended for use without additional preparatory procedures. The drug has very few specific effects. The active components of the medication contribute to the induction of retrograde ejaculation. This is due to the fact that non-selective agents actively affect the nervous system and urinary tract.

Tamusulosin is the most effective alpha-blocker. The main feature of the drug is the fact that it selectively acts on the smooth muscles of the organ (prostate gland). During the use of the remedy, the symptomatology of the pathological process becomes less pronounced.

Visible results are noticeable 14 days after you start using the product. Prescribing a medication is carried out by a specialist based on the clinical picture of the disease. The drug is not recommended for patients with hypertension, personal intolerance, liver disease. The decision on the acceptable dosage is at the discretion of the physician. For this, the specialist takes into account the individual characteristics of the patient. Most often, a one-time, daily intake of the drug is recommended. Reception time - morning, after a meal.

Terazosin

The prostate can be cured with the alpha-blocker Terazosin. This is not a selective drug that has little effect on the work of other organs, which excludes the appearance of tachycardia. When taking the drug, the vascular tone decreases, the load on the heart decreases. When taking the drug, patients get rid of pathological urination, which explains its widespread use in the treatment of prostatitis. The effect of the drug is due to the influence of adrenergic receptors on smooth muscles, which promotes the outflow of urine.

The alpha-blocker drug can only be prescribed by a specialist, since its incorrect dosage with selection can provoke unpleasant consequences.To obtain a high effectiveness of therapeutic therapy, it is required to exclude all negative factors, including the wrong dosage of administration. The drug is taken with a small dosage, over time the dose is gradually increased. The dosage is changed once a week, up to a maximum intake of 20 mg. The maintenance dose is prescribed taking into account the characteristic features (from 1 to 10 mg). It is recommended to take the drug in the evening, before going to bed. This is due to the fact that the patient must lie down after admission.

Doxazosin

The most commonly recommended alpha-blocker for the treatment of prostatitis. When using it, the outflow of urine is normalized, urodynamics is improved, symptomatic manifestations are minimized. The prescription of the drug is carried out by a specialized specialist. The drug is taken from 1 mg, after a certain period of time, the dose is increased to 2-4 mg. The maximum dose is 16 mg. The duration of treatment therapy can only be determined by a doctor, based on the characteristics and clinical picture of the patient.

Alfuzosin

A non-selective medication that is perfect in the fight against the inflammatory process of the prostate gland. The high efficacy of the drug has been proven by widespread use with high treatment efficiency.

Self-selection of the drug is strictly prohibited, since this remedy is poorly combined with other medicines. Improper use of Alfuzosin can enhance the hypotensive effect. The dosage of the drug is prescribed by the attending physician. The drug is taken twice a day, in the morning and evening hours (5 mg). After completing the course with such a drug, with the correct selection of the dose, there is a high efficiency of therapeutic therapy.

Potential complications where alpha-blocker drugs are used

The use of drugs (alpha blockers) can cause side effects associated with the cardiovascular system, arterial hypotension, heart rhythm, anginal pain, tachycardia, shortness of breath.
