Question 1 of 5
Which of the antihypertensive drugs most likely caused adverse effects in the patient with prostatic hyperplasia?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The patient with prostatic hyperplasia was experiencing frequent nocturia and was diagnosed with poorly controlled hypertension. The addition of a new drug to the therapy likely caused adverse effects related to the patient's prostatic hyperplasia. Prazosin, an alpha-1 blocker, is known to relax smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder neck, potentially worsening symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia such as increased urinary frequency and urgency. Therefore, Prazosin is the most likely drug to have caused adverse effects in this patient.
