Spanish term or phrase: bloqueador selectivo de los receptores de tipo Alfa-1

This is a medical translation and it is vital I get the exact translation of: "bloqueador selectivo de los receptores de tipo Alfa-1"

It is followed by "similar a la doxazosina".

The most frequently used term in English seems to be "selective Alpha 1 antagonist" however "antagonista" was not used in the original.

Is either of the following acceptable: " selective type 1 / Alpha-1 receptor blocker"?

Thank you in advance.
