About Solitral Capsule

Solitral Capsule belongs to a class of drug known as genitourinary tract agent primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (overgrowth of the prostate gland, a gland situated between the bladder and penis). Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common illness as men get older. An inflamed prostate gland can cause unpleasant urinary symptoms, like preventing the urine flow out of the bladder. It can also cause urinary tract, bladder, or kidney problems.

Solitral Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Alfuzosin (alpha-blockers) and Solifenacin (antimuscarinic). Alfuzosin works by blocking the action of alpha-1 receptors and causes smooth muscle relaxation in the bladder and prostate (a walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and the penis). Solifenacin works by inhibiting contraction of the smooth muscle wall surrounding the bladder, resulting in decrease bladder activity. This helps to control the release of urine and helps reduce your symptoms. Collectively, both of them improve the symptoms of Benign Hyperplasia Prostate (BPH).

Take Solitral Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Solitral Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical conditions. You may experience dizziness, headache, tiredness, dryness in the mouth, blurred vision, constipation, flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk). Most of these side effects of Solitral Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not be reluctant to speak with your doctor if you experience any difficulty while taking Solitral Capsule .

If you take Solitral Capsule with any antihypertensive medicine, your blood pressure could suddenly drop to s life-threatening level. So avoid intake of Solitral Capsule with antihypertensive drugs.

Medicinal Benefits

Solitral Capsule is a combination of two drugs, namely; Alfuzosin and Solifenacin used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adults with an enlarged prostate gland. Alfuzosin belongs to a class of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors (located in prostate and bladder) blocker that works by blocking the action of alpha-1 receptors and causes smooth muscle relaxation in the bladder and prostate (a walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and the penis). Solifenacin belongs to a class of antimuscarinic (inhibiting the action of acetylcholine (chemical substance) that works by inhibiting contraction of the smooth muscle wall surrounding the bladder, resulting in a decrease in bladder activity.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): is an enlargement of the prostate gland. The prostate is a small, muscular gland in the male reproductive system. It is a common condition as men get older (50-60 years). It occurs when the cells of the prostate gland begin to multiply. In an enlarged prostate gland, the bladder wall becomes thicker, and the bladder may weaken and lose the ability to empty fully, leaving some urine in the bladder. Symptoms of BPH include frequent or urgent need to urinate, nocturia (increased frequency of urination at night, difficulty starting urination, inability to empty the bladder, painful urination, blood in the urine.
