Medical Description
Silodal 8 capsule is used for the treatment of problems arising due to the enlargement of the prostate gland, a medical condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It contains silodosin as its active medicine.
Silodal 8 capsule 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.
Silodal 8 helps in easing the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) like difficulty in passing urine, frequent urination, increased frequency of urination at night or inability to empty the bladder. Take Silodal 8 as advised by your doctor and in doses and duration as prescribed. You should take this medicine daily at the same time to gain optimum benefits.
Dizziness, postural hypotension (a drop in blood pressure after a change of posture), headache, loose motions, and retrograde ejaculation (backward flow of semen/orgasm with less or no semen) are some of the common side effects of the Silodal 8mg, but not everybody gets them.
These side effects normally go away with time, but if you feel the side effects persist, you should consult your doctor. Before using the Silodal 8 capsule, talk to your doctor about your detailed medical history. Prostagard capsule, Rapilif tablet, Silofast capsule, Sildoo capsule and Siliostru capsule are also having silodosin as their active medicine.
