May 20, 2025

Introduction

SILODOSIA T 8/5 is a combination medication that contains Silodosin 8 mg and Tadalafil 5 mg, specially formulated to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) associated with BPH in men. It also improves urinary flow and enhances overall quality of life in patients suffering from urinary retention or difficulty in urination due to prostate enlargement.

Silodosin 8 mg: Overview

Silodosin is a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist used to relax the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder neck, improving urine flow in patients with enlarged prostate.

Tab Silodosin 8 mg Uses:

  • Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

  • Improves symptoms such as frequent urination, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying

  • Reduces urinary urgency and night-time urination

Tadalafil 5 mg: Overview

Tadalafil, commonly known for treating erectile dysfunction, also works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder and prostate. At a low dose of 5 mg, it is effective in relieving LUTS related to BPH.

Mechanism of Action: How SILODOSIA T 8/5 Works

  • Silodosin 8 mg blocks alpha-1 receptors in the prostate and bladder neck, resulting in relaxation of smooth muscles, which improves urinary symptoms.

  • Tadalafil 5 mg works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), increasing nitric oxide levels, improving blood flow to the pelvic region, which helps relieve both urinary symptoms and erectile dysfunction.
