Sildozen-D8 Capsule

Sildozen-D8 Capsule is a prescription medicine used primarily for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. It combines two active ingredients—Silodosin (8mg) and Dutasteride (0.5mg)—which work together to ease urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. This capsule helps improve urine flow, reduces the need to urinate frequently or urgently, and relieves discomfort associated with BPH. It is not meant for use in women or children. Regular use under medical supervision ensures effective symptom relief and improves quality of life in men suffering from prostate enlargement.
