Description
Silofast 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. 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 improves the urine flow in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. This medicine 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 Silofast 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, retrograde ejaculation (backward flow of semen/orgasm with less or no semen) are some of the common side effects of the Silofast, but not everybody gets them. These side effects usually go away with time, but if you feel the side effects persist, you should consult your doctor. Before using the Silofast Capsule, talk to your doctor about your detailed medical history.
