A cross-sectional study on the effects of bedtime administration of selective α1 adrenoceptor antagonists on nocturnal blood pressure in elderly patients with benign prostate hyperplasia

Nocturnal hypotension was common in men 60 years and older with BPH treated with selective α1 adrenoceptor antagonists before sleep. Age and no hypertension were independently associated with nocturnal hypotension positively. Related factors may help clinicians identify hypotension tendencies in the elderly when prescribing such drugs.
