Introduction
Maxvoid Plus 8 Tablet is a combination of two medicines, Silodosin and Dutasteride, that work together to relieve symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Silodosin is an alpha-blocker that relaxes the muscles around the bladder exit and prostate gland, facilitating easier urine passage. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that helps shrink the prostate gland by reducing hormone levels that promote its growth. This medication is not intended to prevent prostate cancer. Common side effects may include dizziness, blurring of vision, and sexual dysfunction. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult your doctor for any concerns.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it. Maxvoid Plus 8 Tablet should be taken with food, approximately 30 minutes after the same meal each day.
How it works
Maxvoid Plus 8 Tablet combines Silodosin and Dutasteride to relieve BPH symptoms. Silodosin relaxes the muscles around the bladder exit and prostate gland, allowing easier urine passage. Dutasteride reduces hormone levels that promote prostate growth, helping to shrink the gland.
