Neodosin-D Capsule

Neodosin-D Capsule is a prescription medicine used primarily for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. It combines two active ingredients: Silodosin (8mg), an alpha-blocker, and Dutasteride (0.5mg), a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. This dual-action capsule helps relieve symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, and incomplete bladder emptying. Neodosin-D Capsule works by relaxing the muscles of the prostate and shrinking its size over time, making urination easier and improving the overall quality of life.

Uses of Neodosin-D Capsule

Neodosin-D Capsule is primarily used for:

• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
• Reducing the risk of acute urinary retention
• Lowering the need for prostate surgery in BPH patients
• Improving urine flow and relieving urinary symptoms

How Neodosin-D Capsule works

Neodosin-D Capsule works through a dual mechanism. Silodosin relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, improving urine flow. Dutasteride reduces the size of the enlarged prostate by lowering levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate growth. Together, they provide symptom relief and long-term improvement in BPH.

Benefits of Neodosin-D Capsule

• Provides quick relief from urinary symptoms associated with BPH
• Reduces the size of the prostate gland
• Improves quality of life by making urination easier
• Prevents complications like urinary retention or surgery
• Combination therapy ensures better and longer-lasting results
