How may weeks might be required to assess the benefit of alpha-1 blockers in the treatment of BPH?

2-3 weeks
4-6 weeks
8-10 weeks
12-14 weeks

The correct answer is: 4-6 weeks

The correct answer is B. 4-6 weeks. When assessing the benefit of alpha-1 blockers in the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), it is recommended to allow for a treatment duration of 4-6 weeks before evaluating the patient's response. This timeframe allows for sufficient time for the medication to take effect and for the patient to experience symptom relief. The other options provided (A, C, and D) are outside the typical timeframe required to assess the benefit of alpha-1 blockers in the treatment of BPH.
