- Title
The efficacy of administration of prazosin in reducing the risk of recurrent urethral obstruction in male cats.

- Abstract
This document provides an overview of the use of prazosin in the treatment of recurrent urethral obstruction (rUO) in cats. It reviews three studies that examined the effectiveness of prazosin in preventing rUO. The studies found no significant difference in the development of rUO between prazosin administration and a placebo, but did report shorter urinary catheterization time with prazosin. However, the small sample sizes and limitations of the studies make it difficult to draw definitive conclusions. Further clinical studies with larger sample sizes are needed to determine the effectiveness of prazosin in preventing rUO in cats.
