[Drug therapy for benign prostatic syndrome (BPS)].

Abstract:

:Alpha1-receptor blockers (alfuzosin, doxazosin, tamsulosin and terazosin), 5alpha-reductase inhibitors (dutasteride and finasteride) and combinations thereof are used in the drug treatment of benign prostatic syndrome. As before, there is still no evidence supporting the use of plant extracts, the use of anticholinergic substances alone or in combination with other BPS drugs is currently under investigation and should not be attempted outside of clinical trials. For all drugs the placebo effect is considerable. Accordingly, deviations from the recommended doses are rapidly associated with an activity loss over that of placebo. alpha1-Receptor blockers show a rapid onset of action and are slightly superior to 5alpha-reductase inhibitors with regard to the relief of symptoms. All alpha1-receptor blockers are similarly effective at adequate doses, however, quantitative differences are seen in the side effect profiles. 5alpha-reductase inhibitors also provide relief from BPS-associated symptoms with the relief being volume-dependent. Prostate volume-dependent complications of BPS (operation risk and risk of acute urine retention) can be reduced by 5alpha-reductase inhibitors. Long-term drug studies have demonstrated the superiority of combination therapies over monotherapies with alpha1-receptor blockers and 5alpha-reductase inhibitors in patients with a high risk for progression. This superiority is accompanied by a combination of the respective side-effect profiles and their absolute increase. Besides poorer tolerability, combination therapies also result in higher costs. Thus, it is important to decide at an early stage which patients are to be treated with drugs and which by surgery.
