Silozem

SILOZEM Capsule is an alpha-adrenergic antagonist that is used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. It helps to relieve symptoms like difficulty in passing urine. However, it does not decrease the size of the prostate.

Why it's used

SILOZEM is used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men. This condition is also called the enlarged prostate. It helps lessen your BPH symptoms and improve your ability to urinate.

When the prostate is enlarged, it can pinch or squeeze your urethra and affect your ability to urinate. This may cause:

• nighttime urination (nocturia)
• sudden urge to urinate
• frequent urge to urinate
• difficulties in starting to urinate
• feeling like you can’t completely empty your bladder
• weak urine flow
• straining while urinating
• dribbling (leaking) after urination

SIDE EFFECTS OF SILOZEM

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them.

• Retrograde ejaculation
• Orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering of blood pressure on standing)
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Nasal congestion (stuffy nose)

• Tiredness
