ABSTRACT
Benign prostatic hyperplasia affects 50% of the population and is more frequent in
the seventh and eighth decades of life. There are currently different treatments for
benign prostatic hyperplasia and pharmacologic management is considered first-line
treatment. The aim of the present study was to conduct a literature review related to
the pharmacologic management of benign prostatic hyperplasia, utilizing the following
5 databases: Medline, Embase, Central, Scopus, and LILACS. Only the clinical studies
that evaluated the efficacy of the different drugs employed for the symptomatic management
of the patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia were included. A total of 1595
references were reviewed by title and abstract, and 49 final references were selected for
complete text review. The medications identified were: tamsulosin, alfuzosin, doxazosin,
silodosin, dutasteride, finasteride, fesoterodine, tadalafil, sildenafil, and naftopidil. In
addition, studies on phytotherapy that evaluated the effectiveness of Serenoa repens
were included. The majority of the therapeutic options appear to be effective for the
treatment of urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia and the results
identified are in accordance with the recommendations of the latest clinical practice
guidelines. The choice of a first-line medication depends on the treating physician who
must consider both the possible adverse events and the preferences of the patient.
