Product introduction
Sildoo T Capsule is a combination medicine prescribed for men who have both an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and erectile dysfunction. It brings together silodosin, which eases urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, with tadalafil, which supports erectile function. Combining the two into a single capsule can simplify treatment for men who need both effects addressed together. It is available only on a doctor's prescription and is not intended for use by women.
Storage: Store at room temperature, away from moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
Uses of Sildoo T Capsule
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) symptoms
- Erectile dysfunction
Benefits of Sildoo T Capsule
For men with an enlarged prostate, the medicine can ease symptoms such as a weak urine stream, frequent urges to urinate and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. Alongside this, it supports the ability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. Treating both conditions with one capsule can make daily dosing simpler compared with taking two separate medicines.

How to use Sildoo T Capsule
This capsule should be taken exactly as prescribed by the doctor, usually once daily, and can be taken with or without food. It should be swallowed whole with water and taken at around the same time each day for a consistent effect. The dose and length of treatment should not be changed without the prescribing doctor's advice.
How Sildoo T Capsule works
Silodosin belongs to a group of medicines called alpha-1 blockers, which relax the muscles in the prostate and the neck of the bladder, making it easier to pass urine and reducing symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor that widens blood vessels and increases blood flow to the penis in response to sexual stimulation, helping achieve and sustain an erection. Together, the two ingredients act on separate parts of the urinary and erectile systems.
