About Dosin-4 Capsule 15's
Dosin-4 Capsule 15's is used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia - BPH) in men. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in which there is an enlargement of the prostate gland due to the multiplication of the cells, mostly in men above 50 years of age.
Dosin-4 Capsule 15's contains ‘Silodosin’ that works by blocking the receptors (alpha 1) located in the prostate, bladder and urethra (urine pipe), thereby relaxing the muscles of the bladder and prostate gland.
Dosin-4 Capsule 15's may cause side effects such as dizziness, diarrhoea, stuffy nose, and sudden lowering in blood pressure. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
You are advised to take Dosin-4 Capsule 15's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. Take this medication by mouth with or as directed by your doctor. Your physician will decide the dose of the medicine based on the severity of your condition.
Avoid taking Dosin-4 Capsule 15's if you are allergic to it. Inform your doctor if you have low blood pressure or liver or kidney disease. Dosin-4 Capsule 15's is intended for use in men only; women should not take Dosin-4 Capsule 15's, especially pregnant or breastfeeding women. Dosin-4 Capsule 15's should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Dosin-4 Capsule 15's may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid alcohol consumption along with Dosin-4 Capsule 15's as it could lead to increased dizziness.
