Geripod 8 Capsule

Geripod 8 Capsule contains Silodosin (8mg), an alpha-blocker used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which the prostate gland enlarges, leading to urinary difficulties. It works by relaxing the muscles of the bladder and prostate, allowing for smoother urine flow and reducing symptoms like frequent urination, weak urine stream, and difficulty in starting urination. Geripod 8 Capsule provides significant relief from urinary discomfort associated with BPH but does not shrink the prostate gland.
