ALFUZOSIN ONCE DAILY FACILITATES RETURN TO VOIDING IN PATIENTS IN ACUTE URINARY RETENTION

Abstract

Alfuzosin (10 mg) once daily significantly improved the rate of successful TWOC in patients with AUR related to BPH, even in elderly patients and those with a large drained volume who were at increased risk for TWOC failure. This should contribute to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with emergency surgery and avoid the discomfort and potential morbidity associated with an in situ catheter.
