Objective To study the preventive and therapeutic effect of doxazosin mesylate (Cardura) in the management of vesical spasm. Methods Two hundred and fifty six cases were randomized into two groups: the study group was given Cardura 4 mg at bedtime, while the control group was given probanthine 15 mg twice a day. All the patients were given 8 ng of Vitamin Ks three times a day. Results There was significant difference in the incidence of vesical spasm between study group and control group (P＜0.01). Conclusions Cardura can decrease the urethral closure pressure, and reduce excitability of bladder detrusor muscle. So it is effective for the relief of vesical spasm.
