  2. Alpha-1 blocker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-1_blocker

    Alpha-1 blocker, blocks alpha receptors and it relaxes the smooth muscles in the bladder. It helps the urine to flow smoothly and it can lessen the pain caused by the bladder pressing on the prostate. [44] [45] Selective alpha-1 blockers are better tolerated than non-selective alpha blockers in the body and therefore works better on BPH. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_blocker

    When the term "alpha blocker" is used without further qualification, it can refer to an α 1 blocker, an α 2 blocker, a nonselective blocker (both α 1 and α 2 activity), or an α blocker with some β activity. [2] However, the most common type of alpha blocker is usually an α 1 blocker. Non-selective α-adrenergic receptor antagonists include:

  5. Phenoxybenzamine - Wikipedia

    It has a slower onset and a longer-lasting effect compared with other alpha blockers. It was also the first alpha blocker to be used for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, [2] although it is currently seldom used for that indication due to unfavourable side effects. It has been used in the treatment of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. [3]

  6. Adrenergic antagonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_antagonist

    Adrenergic competitive antagonists are shorter lasting than the other two types of antagonists. While the antagonists for alpha and beta receptors are usually different compounds, there has been recent drug development that effects both types of the adrenoreceptors. Phentolamine, an adrenergic antagonist

  7. Prazosin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prazosin

    Serious side effects may include low blood pressure with standing and depression. [6] [7] Prazosin is a non-selective inverse agonist of the α 1-adrenergic receptors. [6] It works to decrease blood pressure by dilating blood vessels and helps with an enlarged prostate by relaxing the outflow of the bladder. [6] How it works in PTSD is not ...
