McDonald H, Hux M, Brisson M, Bernard L, Nickel JC. An economic evaluation of doxazosin, finasteride and combination therapy in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Can J Urol 2004 Aug;11(4):2327-40.Abstract
The Proscar Long-Term Efficacy and Safety Study (PLESS) and the Medical Therapy of Prostatic Symptoms (MTOPS) study provide new evidence regarding the benefits of finasteride in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The objective of this study was to utilize data from the PLESS and MTOPS studies to assess the cost-utility of finasteride and finasteride in combination with doxazosin, compared to doxazosin alone in men with moderate to severe BPH symptoms.
