Silodon D 8mg/0.5mg Capsule

Silodon D 8mg/0.5mg Capsule – Product Introduction

Silodon D 8mg/0.5mg Capsule is a combination medicine designed for men with enlarged prostate gland (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, BPH). It helps to relieve urinary symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, weak urine flow, and frequent or urgent need to urinate. This medicine does not prevent prostate cancer.

Silodon D contains Silodosin and Dutasteride, two medicines that work together to relax bladder and prostate muscles and reduce prostate size, providing both short-term relief and long-term improvement of urinary symptoms.

Uses

Benefits

Reduces prostate size by blocking hormones that cause prostate growth (Dutasteride).

How to Use

Take as prescribed by your doctor.

With food for better absorption.

Take at the same time each day.

Swallow the capsule whole; do not crush, chew, or break it.

Do not stop medication abruptly, even if symptoms improve.

How It Works

Silodosin (Alpha-1 blocker): Relaxes muscles around the bladder neck and prostate to allow easier urine flow.

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