Silodal-D 8 Capsule

Silodal-D 8 Capsule – Product Introduction

Silodal-D 8 Capsule is a combination medicine designed for men with an enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH). It helps relieve urinary problems such as difficulty in starting urination, weak urine flow, and frequent or urgent need to urinate. This medicine is not intended to prevent prostate cancer.

Silodal-D 8 Capsule contains two active components: Silodosin and Dutasteride, which work in different ways to improve urinary function and reduce prostate size.

Uses

Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Relief from symptoms including:

Difficulty starting urination

Weak urine stream

Frequent urination

Urgency to urinate

Benefits

Reduces prostate size by blocking hormones responsible for prostate growth (Dutasteride).

Relaxes bladder and prostate muscles (Silodosin) to make urination easier.

Prevents urinary retention and complications from untreated BPH.

Provides both quick symptom relief and long-term improvement.

Maximum benefit may be observed after 6 months of consistent 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 the capsule.

Do not stop the medication abruptly, even if symptoms improve.

How It Works

Silodosin (alpha-1 blocker): Relaxes muscles in the bladder neck and prostate, allowing easier urine flow.

Dutasteride (5-alpha-reductase inhibitor): Reduces the hormone that causes prostate growth, shrinking the prostate over time.
Together, they relieve urinary symptoms and prevent worsening of prostate enlargement.
