SILODOSIN

Overview:

Silodosin is a medicine that helps men with an enlarged prostate (BPH).It works by softening the muscles around the prostate and bladder, which improves urination, lessens urgency, and enhances day-to-day ease.

Classification: Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist

Uses:

Silodosin is used to help men who have an enlarged prostate, a common condition as they get older. It relaxes the muscles around the prostate and bladder, which makes it easier to pee and helps reduce symptoms like a weak urine flow, needing to go frequently, or feeling like the bladder isn’t fully empty.

How it works:

Silodosin works by blocking specific receptors called alpha-1A receptors in the muscles of the prostate and bladder neck. By loosening the muscles, it clears the way for urine to flow more freely, reducing urinary difficulties and discomfort from prostate enlargement.

Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor.

Side Effects:

• Dizziness or feeling lightheaded
• Runny or stuffy nose (nasal congestion)
• Headache
• Tiredness or weakness
• Ejaculation problems
• Trouble sleeping 

Precautions:

Be careful when using Silodosin if you have kidney, liver, or heart problems. It may cause dizziness, especially when standing up too quickly, so take your time getting up. Limit alcohol, and let your doctor know about any other medicines you take to avoid unwanted interactions.
