Silomac Capsule

Silomac Capsule contains Silodosin (8mg), a prescription medication used primarily to treat urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. It helps relieve difficulty in urination, frequent urge to urinate, and weak urine flow. Silomac Capsule belongs to a group of medicines called alpha-blockers, which relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck. This makes it easier to pass urine and improves quality of life in patients suffering from an enlarged prostate.
