Product Introduction:
Alphacept 4mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Silodosin (4mg), which belongs to a class of medications known as selective alpha-1 blockers. It is primarily prescribed for the treatment of symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate gland.
Alphacept 4mg Tablet is advised to take it in a dose and duration as per prescription. It should be taken with food, but take at the same time regularly. Swallow the medicine as a whole without crushing or chewing it. You should not stop taking the medicine without consulting the doctor as it may lead to the worsening of your symptoms. The course of the treatment should be completed for better efficacy of the medicine.
Some common side effects of this medicine are retrograde ejaculation, dizziness, diarrhea, orthostatic hypotension, headache, nasopharyngitis, and nasal congestion. If any of the side effects persist or bother you, you must consult the doctor without delay.
Simple lifestyle changes can help you manage your symptoms better. Try to urinate as soon as you feel the urge, however, never strain or push to empty your bladder. You should avoid drinking caffeinated or alcoholic drinks at night and a few hours before going to bed or going out.
Before receiving the treatment, inform your doctor if you are on any medication for any other health condition. If you have to undergo eye surgery due to cataracts or glaucoma then inform your eye doctor about the usage of this medicine. Patients with liver or kidney disease must be cautious while receiving the prescription, and they must receive regular follow-ups as per the doctor’s advice.
Benefits:
- Symptom Relief: Alphacept 4mg Tablet effectively relieves symptoms associated with BPH, such as difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, urinary urgency, and frequent urination.
- Improved Urinary Function: By blocking alpha-1 receptors in the prostate gland and bladder neck, Silodosin helps relax smooth muscles, leading to improved urine flow and reduced urinary symptoms.
- Reduced Risk of Urinary Retention: Silodosin reduces the risk of urinary retention, a common complication of BPH, by promoting better bladder emptying.
- Quality of Life Improvement: By alleviating bothersome urinary symptoms, Alphacept 4mg Tablet can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with BPH.
