Sildoso Capsule 4mg

About Sildoso Capsule 4mg

Sildoso Capsule Uses

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate)
• Difficulty starting urination
• Weak or interrupted urine stream
• Frequent urination, especially at night
• Sense of incomplete bladder emptying

Sildoso Capsule Benefits

• Relaxes prostate and bladder neck muscles quickly
• Improves urine flow within days of starting treatment
• Selective action means less effect on blood pressure than older alpha blockers
• One capsule a day fits easily into a daily routine

Urology clinics in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi prescribe Sildoso Capsule for men with an enlarged prostate affecting daily urination.

Silodosin selectively blocks alpha 1A receptors in the prostate and bladder neck. This relaxes the muscle tissue and eases urine flow without major effect on blood vessels elsewhere.

Take Sildoso with food to reduce stomach upset and lower the chance of a sudden blood pressure drop. Men planning cataract surgery should inform their eye surgeon before use.

• Do not double the dose if you miss one, just take the next dose as scheduled.

Drug Interactions

• Other Alpha Blockers: Combining with other alpha blockers used for blood pressure or prostate symptoms raises the risk of low blood pressure.
• Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Drugs like ketoconazole or ritonavir raise Silodosin blood levels significantly and should be avoided together.
• PDE5 Inhibitors: Combining with sildenafil or tadalafil can increase the risk of a sudden blood pressure drop.
• Antihypertensive Drugs: Taking Sildoso with blood pressure medicines can add to the blood pressure lowering effect.

Risks and warnings

• Low Blood Pressure: Sildoso can cause dizziness or fainting on standing up quickly, especially with the first few doses.
• Cataract Surgery: It can cause intraoperative floppy iris syndrome, so tell your eye surgeon if you are taking or have taken Sildoso.
• Kidney or Liver Disease: Reduced organ function changes how the body clears Silodosin and may need dose adjustment.
• Not for Women or Children: Sildoso is approved only for men with prostate related urinary symptoms.
• Priapism: A rare but serious painful and prolonged erection can occur and needs urgent medical care.
