Introduction
Silodocia D8 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 the hormone levels that cause prostate growth. This medication is not used to prevent prostate cancer. Common side effects may include dizziness, blurred vision, and sexual dysfunction. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a doctor for any concerns.

How it works
