Currently, there are two main treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia: drugs and surgery. Drug treatment is more common. There are many drugs for treating prostate hyperplasia, and each drug has its own characteristics. Among them, adrenergic receptor blockers are commonly used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, which can alleviate dysuria and significantly reduce residual urine in the bladder.
Adrenergic receptor blockers can reduce blood pressure while controlling prostate hyperplasia. Therefore, patients with prostate hyperplasia and hypertension are taking it. At the same time, if using antihypertensive drugs, close attention should be paid to monitoring blood pressure changes. It is best to appropriately reduce the dose and type of antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a doctor to avoid hypotension. Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia without hypertension may experience postural hypotension after taking medication, so it is generally recommended to take medication with caution. When it is necessary to take medication, the first dose of medication should be started at a small dose, and sudden sitting or standing up should be avoided during medication.
When using adrenergic receptor blockers in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, the following points should be paid attention to:
① Avoid taking medication before bedtime: Patients with prostate hyperplasia often have nocturnal polyuria. The best time to take medication is in the morning or in the morning. Try to avoid taking medication before bedtime to avoid sudden sitting up at night, causing a sudden drop in blood pressure;
② Do not chew capsules: To avoid gastrointestinal discomfort, it is recommended to take medication after meals;
③ A rash occurs and medication needs to be discontinued;
④ Elderly patients with severe renal insufficiency should be cautious in using these drugs.
In summary, adrenergic receptor blockers are prescription drugs that must be administered under the guidance of a doctor and must not be used without authorization.
