摘要
Pharmacological therapy is now considered a firstline treatment for men with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms. Given the success of antimuscarinic agents, α-sympathetic blockers, and 5-α-reductase inhibitors in treating symptoms, the interest in combination therapy has grown. Despite this, large-scale trials to test the efficacy of such combination therapy are still lacking.
