Prostagard-D 8 Capsule is used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate gland enlarges, causing urinary problems.

🩺 Uses of Prostagard-D 8 Capsule

🩺 Side Effects and Dizziness

• Common side effects include dizziness, headache, diarrhea, nasal congestion, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders. If these worsen, contact a doctor promptly.

🩸 Drug Interactions

• Do not take with blood pressure-lowering medicines as it can cause dangerous drops in blood pressure leading to dizziness or fainting.
