Terazosin and Tamsulosin both come up in the same conversations. Terazosin: Terazosin is a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist of the quinazoline class, used mainly to relieve the urinary symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and, less commonly, to lower blood pressure. 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.
Terazosin is a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist of the quinazoline class, used mainly to relieve the urinary symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and, less commonly, to lower blood pressure. By blocking alpha-1 receptors it relaxes smooth muscle in the prostate, bladder neck, and the walls of blood vessels. It is a long-acting, once-daily oral drug, available generically since its introduction in the 1980s, and has more recently drawn research attention for an unrelated action on the glycolytic enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase 1 [1].
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.
