Description
Silodosin 4 mg Tablets for Enlarged Prostate Symptoms
Support for Improved Urinary Flow
SILODAL 4 MG contains silodosin, a medicine commonly prescribed to manage symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It helps relax muscles in the prostate and bladder, making urination easier and more comfortable for men experiencing urinary difficulties.
How Silodosin Works
Silodosin blocks alpha-adrenergic receptors located in the prostate and bladder neck. As a result, the surrounding muscles relax, which improves urine flow and reduces symptoms such as urgency, weak stream, and frequent nighttime urination.
