Age was considered in the usage of alpha receptor blocker in the treatment of prostate patients. Ninety patients with prostatism were treated with alpha 1 receptor blockers (Doxazocin 4 mg/day) for 8 weeks. Before and after treatment, the patients in two groups according to their age, above and below 60 years, were evaluated using International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). The patients younger than 60 years of age had more significant relief compared to those older than 60 years of age.
