Certain drugs can reduce bladder muscle contractions, potentially helping treat bladder diseases.
research Direct Vasodilators and Sympatholytic Agents
Direct vasodilators and sympatholytic agents are still useful for certain conditions despite being less common due to side effects and newer drugs.
research EFFECTS OF FESOTERODINE, A NOVEL ANTIMUSCARINIC, ALONE AND IN COMBINATION WITH AN α-RECEPTOR BLOCKER, DOXAZOSIN, ON BLADDER FUNCTION IN OBSTRUCTED RATS
Combination therapy with fesoterodine and doxazosin improves bladder function and delays BPH progression.
research Clinical Efficacy of Diphenylcyclopropenone in Alopecia Areata: Retrospective Data Analysis of 50 Patients
Diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) can help regrow hair in many alopecia areata patients but may cause side effects and relapses.
research Relative binding affinity of novel steroids to androgen receptors in hamster prostate
New steroids were effective in blocking male hormone receptors in hamster prostates.
