Alfuzosin

Alfuzosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist, a type of alpha blocker used to relieve the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Sold under brand names such as Uroxatral and Xatral, it relaxes smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck to improve urine flow without shrinking the prostate itself. Taken as a once-daily extended-release tablet, it is a common first-line medical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Silodosin

Silodosin is a selective alpha-1A adrenergic receptor antagonist, a type of alpha blocker, used to relieve the urinary symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). By relaxing smooth muscle in the prostate, bladder neck, and urethra, it improves urine flow in men with an enlarged prostate. First approved in Japan in 2006 and sold under brand names such as Rapaflo and Urorec, it is noted for a high selectivity that limits blood-pressure effects but commonly causes abnormal ejaculation.
