Siloneed 8mg Capsule

Siloneed 8mg Capsule is a prescription medicine containing Silodosin (8mg), primarily used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can lead to urinary problems such as difficulty in urination, frequent urination, or a weak urine stream.

This medicine improves overall quality of life in patients with BPH and is usually recommended for long-term management under medical supervision.
