Antimuscarinics as the First-line Treatment for Male With IPSS-V/S≤1

Summary

This study is a prospective randomized, open label, controlled, double arm, post-marketing study to compare the treatment efficacy of first-line antimuscarinics and α-blockers monotherapy for men with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) (International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS-T) ≥8) and IPSS voiding-to-storage subscore ratio (IPSS-V/S) ≤1.
