Silodosin 8mg Capsules

Product Introduction

Silodosin 8mg is an alpha-1A blocker used to relieve urinary symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. It can improve weak stream, hesitancy and the sensation of incomplete bladder emptying.

How to use

Take the capsule with a meal at the same time each day. Rise slowly if dizziness occurs, especially when treatment begins. Kidney function determines whether a lower dose is needed.

How it works

Silodosin selectively blocks alpha-1A receptors in the prostate and bladder neck. Relaxation of these muscles reduces resistance to urine flow without directly shrinking the prostate.

Side effects

Reduced or absent semen during ejaculation, dizziness, postural hypotension, diarrhoea and nasal congestion may occur. Fainting or a prolonged painful erection needs urgent attention.

Important information

Severe kidney or liver impairment and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors can make silodosin unsuitable. Other alpha blockers or erectile-dysfunction medicines may add to low blood pressure. Tell the eye surgeon about current or past use before cataract surgery.
