How it works
Sildoease-8D Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Silodosin and Dutasteride. Silodosin is an alpha-blocker that relaxes the muscle around the bladder exit and prostate gland, allowing easy passage of urine. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that helps in shrinking the prostate gland by decreasing the level of the hormone that helps the prostate gland grow.

Rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. Inform your eye doctor about the usage of Sildoease-8D Capsule if you are scheduled to undergo an eye surgery due to cataract or glaucoma. Do not donate blood for 6 months after taking the last dose of Sildoease-8D Capsule.
