According to in vitro studies, the affinity of silodosin for α1A receptors is more than 160 times greater than the affinity of this drug for α1B receptors and more than 50 times for α1D receptors. The selectivity of silodosin for α1A receptors is approximately 17 times higher than that of tamsulosin. According to the results of a double-blind randomized study, silodosin is not inferior in effectiveness to tamsulosin.
