Silocap-D Tablet

Silocap-D Tablet – Product Introduction

Silocap-D Tablet is a combination medicine used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men.

It contains Silodosin (alpha-1 blocker) and Dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor).

This dual action helps relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate by:

Relaxing bladder and prostate muscles → improves urine flow.

Reducing prostate size → prevents worsening of symptoms.

It is not indicated for the prevention of prostate cancer and is not meant for use in women or children.

Uses

Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Relief from urinary symptoms such as:

Difficulty starting urination

Weak urine stream

Frequent or urgent need to urinate

Incomplete bladder emptying

Benefits

Relieves urinary obstruction symptoms.

Reduces the size of the prostate by lowering hormone levels that cause prostate growth.

Prevents urinary retention and risk of surgery.

Provides both immediate relief (Silodosin) and long-term prostate shrinkage (Dutasteride).

Maximum benefits may take up to 6 months of regular use.

How to Use

Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

With food → improves absorption.

Take at the same time every day.

Swallow whole; do not crush, chew, or break.

Continue taking even if you feel well. Do not stop without consulting your doctor.

How It Works

Silodosin (alpha-blocker) → relaxes muscles in the bladder neck & prostate, allowing easier urine flow.

Dutasteride (5-alpha reductase inhibitor) → blocks conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), shrinking the prostate over time.
Together, they relieve symptoms and improve long-term urinary function.

Common Side Effects

Most are temporary and improve as your body adjusts.

Erectile dysfunction / impotence

Safety Advice

Alcohol: Unsafe – may worsen drowsiness and dizziness.

Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Not intended for women. Avoid exposure to broken/crushed tablets as Dutasteride can be absorbed through skin.

Kidney Disease: Use with caution; dose adjustment may be required.

Liver Disease: Use with caution; medical supervision needed.

Precautions

Not to be used by women or children.

Before cataract or glaucoma surgery, tell your eye surgeon that you are taking this medicine.

Regular monitoring of blood pressure and prostate health may be advised.

You may be asked to use a condom during sex, as Dutasteride can pass into semen.

✅ In summary:
Silocap-D Tablet combines Silodosin + Dutasteride to provide both quick symptom relief and long-term reduction in prostate size for men with BPH. It improves urine flow, reduces urinary difficulties, and helps prevent complications. Side effects mainly involve sexual function and dizziness, so ongoing monitoring and medical supervision are important.
