About Solitral Capsule

Solitral Capsule is 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.

Solitral Capsule is a combination of Alfuzosin (alpha-blockers) and Solifenacin (antimuscarinic), which work by relaxing the muscle around the bladder and prostate gland so urine is passed more easily. This prevents frequent, urgent or uncontrolled urination.

Take Solitral Capsule as advised by your doctor. Solitral Capsule may cause side effects such as dizziness, headache, fatigue, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and flushing (a sensation of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk). If any of the side effects persist, reach out to your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Solitral Capsule . Women or children should not take Solitral Capsule . Avoid intake of Solitral Capsule with antihypertensive drugs, as it may lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure, causing unpleasant effects.

Key Benefits

How Solitral Capsule Works

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 (walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and the penis). • Solifenacin works by inhibiting the contraction of the smooth muscle wall surrounding the bladder, resulting in decreased bladder activity. This helps to control the release of urine and helps reduce your symptoms. • Collectively, both of them improve the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
