It works by causing muscle relaxation of the prostate gland, part of the urethra inside the prostate and the lower part of the urinary bladder, which results in an improvement in the urine flow in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. This medicine should be used in the exact dose and duration as recommended by the doctor. Do not use this medicine on your own. Take Rapilif 8 capsule at the same time every day for optimal benefits. Before using this medicine, inform the doctor about your detailed medical history.
