Silotime-D Tablet

Product Introduction
Silotime 8 Tablet is a medication classified as an alpha-adrenergic blocker, primarily used to manage the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It helps relieve urinary issues such as difficulty in passing urine but does not shrink the size of the prostate.

This medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, ideally with food and at the same time every day for better effectiveness. The tablet must be swallowed whole without breaking, chewing, or crushing it. Stopping the medication suddenly without medical advice can worsen your symptoms, so always follow your doctor’s guidance throughout the treatment.

Common side effects that may occur include dizziness, headache, diarrhea, retrograde ejaculation, nasal congestion, orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure on standing), and throat or nasal passage inflammation. If any side effects persist or cause concern, you should seek medical attention promptly.

Simple lifestyle modifications can help improve your condition, such as urinating whenever you feel the urge without straining, avoiding caffeinated or alcoholic drinks in the evening or before bedtime, and maintaining a healthy fluid schedule.

Before starting Silotime 8 Tablet, inform your doctor about any other health conditions or medications you are taking. If you are scheduled for cataract or glaucoma surgery, let your eye specialist know about this medicine. Patients with liver or kidney problems should use this medication cautiously and go for regular check-ups as advised by the doctor.

Uses of Silotime 8 Tablet
Helps in the management of symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Benefits
An enlarged prostate can lead to urinary difficulties such as frequent urination, urgent urges, slow urine flow, or incomplete emptying of the bladder. If left untreated, it may result in a complete blockage of urine flow. Silotime 8 Tablet works by relaxing the muscles around the bladder and prostate, easing the passage of urine and providing quick relief from discomfort.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and tend to subside as your body adapts to the medicine. However, if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

• Blurred vision
• Retrograde ejaculation
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Diarrhea
• Sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up
• Headache
• Nasal congestion
• Throat or nasal passage inflammation

How to Take
Take the dose as directed by your healthcare provider. Swallow the tablet whole with water, and do not crush or chew it. It is best taken with food to reduce the risk of side effects like dizziness.

How It Works
Silotime 8 Tablet acts by relaxing the smooth muscles around the prostate and bladder exit, which allows urine to flow more freely and reduces symptoms of BPH.
