About Siloren 8Mg Capsule

Siloren 8Mg Capsule belongs to the group of medicines called 'alpha-blockers' used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia - BPH) in men. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in which there is an enlargement of the prostate gland due to the multiplication of the cells mostly in men above 50 years of age. The growth of the prostate gland is non-cancerous in nature.

Siloren 8Mg Capsule contains ‘Silodosin’ that works by blocking the receptors (alpha 1) located in the prostate, bladder and urethra (urine pipe), thereby relaxes the muscles of the bladder and prostate gland. This help in relieving the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and makes it easier to pass water, thereby increasing urine output and flow.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): The prostate is a small, muscular gland in the male reproductive system which surrounds the urethra. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a condition in which there is an enlargement of the prostate gland which occurs due to the multiplication of the cells. This causes the prostate gland to swell, which leads to the squeezing of the urethra and limits the urine flow. The symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia include painful urination, difficulty in urination, excess urination, incomplete urination, leakage of urine, dribbling at the end of the urinary stream, and urgency in urination. An enlarged prostate is a normal condition in older men due to changes in male sex hormones.
