Geripod 8 contains Silodosin, an alpha-blocker. It relaxes the smooth muscles of the prostate gland and bladder outlet, improving urine flow and reducing BPH symptoms. However, it does not reduce prostate size.

• Dizziness or light-headedness (especially when standing)
• Retrograde ejaculation
• Headache
• Diarrhea
• Nasal congestion
• Blurred vision
• Nasopharyngitis (mild throat inflammation)

Safety Advice:

• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol while taking Geripod as it may enhance drowsiness or dizziness.

• Kidney Impairment: Use with caution. Dose adjustments may be needed. Not recommended for severe kidney disease.

• Do not stop medication without medical advice, even if symptoms improve.

FAQs:

What is Geripod 8 used for?

It’s used to treat urinary symptoms of enlarged prostate, such as difficulty in urination, frequent urge, and weak stream. It does not shrink the prostate but eases symptoms effectively.

Can I undergo cataract surgery while taking Geripod 8?

Inform your eye surgeon before surgery. Geripod may cause a condition called IFIS (Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome), which can complicate the surgery.

Will Geripod 8 affect sexual performance?

It may cause retrograde ejaculation (semen flows back into the bladder), which is harmless but may affect fertility. Erectile function is generally unaffected.

How long should I take it?

Take it for as long as prescribed. BPH is a chronic condition, and long-term treatment may be necessary for sustained relief.
