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.

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

• Reduces urinary urgency and night-time urination

Tadalafil 5 mg: Overview

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.
