[Administration of two uroselective alpha-adrenoblockers in pharmacological treatment of acute urinary retention in patients with prostatic adenoma].

Acute urinary retention in males is often caused by infravesical obstruction due to enlargement of the prostatic gland. Recently it was found that alpha-adrenoblockers promote recovery of physiological voiding in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. In our study urinary bladder draining with urethral catheter in 136 patients with acute urinary retention was immediately followed by simultaneous administration of two alpha1-adrenoblockers--alfuzosine (10 mg once a day) (dalfaz CP) and tamsulosine (0.4 mg once a day) (omnik okas). The control group of 96 patients received monotherapy with alfuzosine. Physiological voiding recovered in 42.7% patients on alfuzosine monotherapy and in 64% patients on alfuzosine+tamsulosine.
