Sicras-Mainar A, et al. - The purpose of this study was to analyze the use of resources and costs associated with the addition of an antimuscarinic (AM) in patients receiving an alpha-adrenergic-blocker (AAB) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) linked to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
