brand name drugs for enlarged prostate

QUESTION: I want to know all the brand name drugs for enlarged prostate problems. Are they in the list you provided above or exist other names?


ANSWER: Hi,

Actually the brand names for the drugs used to treat enlarged prostate have been already provided in the list of prostate drugs.

However, I can mention the most commonly used:

Alpha-blockers:

- Uroxatral

- Flomax

- Cardura (or Cardura XL)

- Rapaflo

- Minipress

- Hytrin

5-alpha-reductase-inhibitors (5-ARIS):

- Proscar (Propecia)

- Avodart

Your doctor will decide which is the best treatment scheme for your enlarged prostate as he/she will evaluate your health condition based on your medical history, laboratory findings, PSA level, urinary tract complications (infections), etc.

All the best!
