Product Introduction
Silotrif D 8mg Tablet contains Dutasteride and Silodosin, two active ingredients that relieve symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor and Silodosin is an alpha-1 blocker. This combination helps reduce difficulty in urination, frequent urination, and related symptoms associated with prostate enlargement.
This medicine is for use in men only and should not be taken by women or children. Do not use Silotrif D 8mg Tablet if you are allergic to Dutasteride, Silodosin, or any other ingredient in the medication. Avoid use if you have severe liver or kidney problems.
Inform your doctor if you have heart disease. Notify your doctor if you experience breast lumps or nipple discharge. Use contraceptive methods to prevent transfer of semen to others. Inform your doctor that you are taking this medicine if you undergo a PSA test, as it can affect PSA blood test results used to detect prostate cancer.
Uses

How it works
Silotrif D 8mg Tablet blocks the conversion of the hormone testosterone to dihydrotestosterone by blocking an enzyme called 5α-reductase in the genital region. This reduces the concentration of dihydrotestosterone in the blood and increases the urine flow rate.
