How it works
Siliostru D 8mg/0.5mg 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.
