Silolyst 8mg Tablet is an alpha-blocker and is used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH) in men. This condition is common in men above 50 years and is characterized by the noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland.

Silodosin works by blocking receptors (alpha 1) in the prostate, bladder, and urethra. This action relaxes the muscles in the bladder and prostate gland, relieving symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and making it easier to pass urine.

Patients prescribed it should adhere to their healthcare provider's recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

It is crucial to report any persistent symptoms or adverse effects promptly.
