Silowell-D 8 Capsule

Silowell-D 8 Capsule is a prescription medication that combines Silodosin (8mg) and Dutasteride (0.5mg). It is primarily used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland in men. This dual-action formula helps relieve urinary discomfort, improve urine flow, and reduce the risk of urinary retention. Silowell-D 8 Capsule offers long-term management of BPH by not only relaxing the muscles of the prostate and bladder neck but also shrinking the prostate over time. This medicine improves quality of life and is recommended under medical supervision.
