Exclusion Criteria
  • Has been administered silodosin
  • Has been administered an α1A-adrenoceptor blocker within one month
  • Has been prescribed antiandrogens except 5α-reductase inhibitors within a year
  • Has had phytotherapy within 3 months
  • Has had prostatectomy
  • Has had intrapelvic radiation therapy
  • Has had transurethral microwave hyperthermia of transurethral needle ablation
  • Is suspected to have implications that are likely to affect urine passing such as neurogenic bladder, bladder calculus or active urinary tract infection (UTI).
  • Is conducting self-catherterization
  • Has a renal impairment with a serum creatinine of 2.0mg/dL or greater
  • Has severe hepatic disorders (hepatic insufficiency, cirrhosis, jaundice, hepatoma) or has a total bilirubin of 2.5mg/dl or higher or has AST/ALT 2.5 times higher than the normal (upper) level
  • Has suffered from a severe arrhythmia, cardiac failure, cardiac infarction, unstable angina, cerebral infarction within 6 months
