Abstract :

Nocturia is one of the most bothersome of all benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Silodosin on nocturia in BPH patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a prospective study that included men 50 years or older with BPH and nocturia (>2 events/night) based on voiding diary, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) >=8 and quality of life score >=3. Patients included received 8 mg of Silodosin once daily for 12 weeks. We evaluated changes in the mean number of nocturia from baseline to the end of 12 weeks based on voiding diary and also assessed the rate of adverse drug effects. RESULTS: 60 patients were included in the study. The number of nocturia episodes decreased significantly after 12 weeks of treatment. Silodosin was found to be safe and effective in the treatment of nocturia in patients with BPH
