Silobest-D Capsule

Silobest-D Capsule is a combination medication containing Silodosin (8mg) and Dutasteride (0.5mg), designed to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. BPH is a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate that causes urinary difficulties. Silodosin works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, while Dutasteride reduces the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to prostate enlargement. This dual-action medication helps to improve urinary symptoms and prevent further prostate growth.

Uses of Silobest-D Capsule

Silobest-D Capsule is used for:

• Relieving symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, and urgency.
• Reducing the size of an enlarged prostate.
• Improving the overall quality of life for men affected by BPH.
• Preventing further enlargement of the prostate, which could lead to more serious complications or the need for surgery.

How Silobest-D Capsule Works

Silobest-D Capsule combines Silodosin (8mg) and Dutasteride (0.5mg) to treat BPH. Silodosin relaxes the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, which improves urine flow. Dutasteride inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT, a hormone that causes prostate growth, thereby reducing prostate size and preventing further enlargement.
