Tamsulosin and Alfuzosin both come up in the same conversations; they overlap on prostate smooth muscle and bladder neck. Tamsulosin: Tamsulosin is a medication of the alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist class, commonly called an alpha blocker, sold under brand names such as Flomax. Alfuzosin: Alfuzosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist, a type of alpha blocker used to relieve the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate.
Tamsulosin is a medication of the alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist class, commonly called an alpha blocker, sold under brand names such as Flomax. It is used mainly to ease the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate and to help small stones pass through the ureter. It works by relaxing smooth muscle in the prostate, bladder neck, and urinary tract rather than by shrinking the prostate.
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.

strengths are the entries' qualitative ratings (strong / moderate / weak); Ki and EC50 figures appear where an entry records them.
easiest to source: Tamsulosin is currently listed by more trusted vendors (2), so it's the simpler one to get hold of. for effects and safety, read each full entry; this is educational, not medical advice.
