Silodal-D 8 Capsule – Effective Treatment for Enlarged Prostate (BPH)

Silodal-D 8 Capsule is a combination medicine containing Silodosin and Dutasteride, designed to treat men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate. It helps relieve urinary symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent or urgent need to urinate, and slow urine flow. This medicine is not intended to prevent prostate cancer.

Uses of Silodal-D 8 Capsule:

• Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Relief from symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate gland

Benefits:

An enlarged prostate can cause urinary problems, including blocked urine flow and frequent urination. It works by reducing the size of the prostate gland through hormonal regulation and relaxing bladder muscles, enabling easier urination. While initial symptom relief may be noticed within 4 weeks, full benefits can take up to 6 months.

How Silodal-D 8 Capsule Works?

• Silodosin – an alpha-blocker that relaxes muscles in the bladder and prostate, improving urine flow.
• Dutasteride – a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that reduces the hormone responsible for prostate growth, shrinking the prostate gland.
