Silodosin + Dutasteride Capsules

Silodosin + Dutasteride Capsules

Silodosin+dutasteride is a medication combination used chiefly for the treatment of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adults with an enlarged prostate gland. It improves your ability to urinate and reduces symptoms like difficulty in urination or more frequent urges to urinate. The prostate is a small, muscular gland within the male reproductive system. Enlargement of the prostate is referred to as BPH common condition in men with advancing age (50-60 years). This happens when cells of the prostate gland start growing. In an enlarged prostate gland, the bladder wall thickens, and the bladder can become weak and no longer empty properly, with residual urine remaining in the bladder.

Silodosin is one of a class of alpha-1 blockers that function by inhibiting the effect of alpha-1 receptors and inducing relaxation of smooth muscle within the bladder and prostate. Dutasteride is one of a class of 5-alpha reductase which functions by inhibiting the effect of one of the 5-alpha reductase enzymes, which has the effect of shrinking the prostate gland size. Silodosin+dutasteride decreases symptoms of BPH and enhances your flow of urine.
