Introduction of Silotag-SF Tablet

Silotag-SF Tablet is a combination of two medicines used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. It helps relax the muscle of the urinary bladder and prostate gland. This way it helps relieve symptoms like difficulty in passing urine, nighttime urination, and sudden urge to urinate.

Taking it at the same time every day will help you remember to take it. The dose and duration of treatment will depend on the severity of your condition. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly.

The most common side effects of this medicine include ejaculation disorders, headache, dizziness, diarrhea, nasal congestion, orthostatic hypotension, and cognitive disorders. If you experience any such side effects, ask your doctor about ways of reducing or preventing them.

Avoid or limit alcohol consumption while on treatment with Silotag-SF Tablet as it could lead to increased dizziness.

Quick tips

Silotag-SF Tablet

  • Silotag-SF Tablet helps in relieving the symptoms of enlarged prostate.
  • You might feel better within hours or days of starting the treatment. The full effect is usually seen within 2 weeks.
  • Drinks containing caffeine (tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and cola) may make your symptoms worse. This is because caffeine is a natural diuretic and will make you want to pass urine frequently. If you drink a lot of caffeine, consider switching to decaffeinated alternatives.
  • If you are scheduled to undergo eye surgery due to a cataract or glaucoma, inform your eye doctor that you are taking this medicine.
  • Avoid the intake of excess fluid towards the bedtime since your sleep might get disturbed by the desire to get up and go to the toilet.
