The review presents the results of studies on combination therapy of 5α-reductase inhibitors and α-blockers in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). These data demonstrate a significant advantage of the combination therapy versus monotherapy in terms of quality of life and subjective symptoms as well as the safety, better results in the prevention of BPH progression and acute urinary retention, and reduced need for surgery.
