Silofast D 8 Capsule is taken orally.

Silofast D 8 Capsule contains two active ingredients:

• Dutasteride (0.5 mg): This component inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by blocking an enzyme called 5α-reductase. DHT is a key hormone that stimulates prostate growth, so by reducing DHT levels, dutasteride helps shrink the size of an enlarged prostate.

• Silodosin (8 mg): As an alpha-1 blocker, silodosin specifically targets and blocks alpha-1 receptors found in the prostate, bladder neck, and urethra. By doing so, it aids in relaxing the smooth muscles in these areas. This action makes urination easier and alleviates BPH symptoms.

• Store Silofast D 8 Capsule at room temperature, ideally between 15°C to 30°C.

• Protect the medicine from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep the medicine out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• It's crucial to use the medicine before its expiry date for optimal results.

• A well-balanced diet rich in fibre can help manage symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Consuming fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can aid in maintaining a healthy prostate.

• Regular exercise is recommended as it can help reduce BPH symptoms. Activities like walking or swimming for at least 30 minutes a day can be beneficial. However, avoid heavy lifting or straining as it may worsen your symptoms.
