This study tests whether it's safe to stop taking alpha-blocker medicines soon after prostate surgery (instead of continuing them for a longer time). If you've had successful surgery to relieve prostate blockage, you may be able to stop these medicines earlier, which could reduce side effects.
This trial tests whether combining two medicines works better than one alone for easing urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. If you have bothersome symptoms and a larger prostate, this study may help you find a more effective treatment.
This study compares two medicines (silodosin and tamsulosin) that help with urine flow in men with an enlarged prostate. You would take one medicine for a period, then the other, to see which works better for you.
This study tests whether taking tadalafil (at 2.5 mg or 5 mg) along with tamsulosin is better for treating urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate than taking tamsulosin alone. It aims to find the best dose combination to improve your quality of life.

This trial tests whether increasing your prostate medication (tamsulosin) or switching to a different medication (silodosin) helps you urinate normally again after a sudden blockage caused by an enlarged prostate. The goal is to help you avoid long-term catheter use.
