How AVOPROST D CAPSULE Works
AVOPROST D CAPSULE is a combination of two active ingredients, Silodosin and Dutasteride, that work together to manage the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH):
- Silodosin: This is an alpha-blocker that relaxes the muscles in the prostate gland and bladder neck. By improving muscle relaxation, it helps enhance urine flow and reduces urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, and incomplete bladder emptying.
- Dutasteride: This is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that reduces the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate growth. Over time, this helps shrink the prostate gland, alleviating pressure on the bladder and urethra.
By combining these actions, AVOPROST D CAPSULE effectively manages urinary symptoms of BPH, improving quality of life and reducing the risk of complications like urinary retention. For best results, it should be taken as prescribed by your doctor.

- Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol can exacerbate dizziness and interact with Silofast D Capsule, so it’s best to avoid it while on the medication.
- Avoid Overexertion: Rest and avoid strenuous physical activities that could trigger or worsen dizziness.

- Consult Your Doctor: If dizziness persists or becomes bothersome, contact your healthcare provider. They may adjust your dosage or recommend an alternative treatment.
