Benefits of Prostagard-D8 Capsule
In the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) causes the prostate gland to enlarge, leading to urinary difficulties such as frequent or urgent urination, difficulty passing urine, and slow urine flow. If left untreated, BPH can cause a complete blockage of urine flow. Prostagard-D8 Capsule contains two active ingredients that work together to relieve these symptoms:
- Silodosin: An alpha-blocker that relaxes the muscles in the bladder and prostate, making it easier to pass urine.
- Dutasteride: A 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that reduces the size of the prostate gland by blocking the hormone responsible for prostate growth.
This combination of medications helps reduce the size of the prostate, alleviates urinary symptoms, and prevents the potential for complete urinary blockage. While symptoms may improve within 4 to 6 weeks, full benefits may take up to 6 months.
How to Use Prostagard-D8 Capsule:
- Take the capsule as directed by your doctor, with food for better absorption.
- Swallow the capsule whole—do not crush, chew, or break it.
- Continue the treatment as prescribed to achieve maximum benefits.

How Prostagard-D8 Capsule Works:
Prostagard-D8 Capsule is a combination of two medications:
- Silodosin (8 mg): An alpha-blocker that works by relaxing the muscles around the bladder neck and the prostate, making it easier to pass urine.
- Dutasteride (0.5 mg): A 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that works by decreasing the levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate growth. This reduces the size of the prostate gland and improves urine flow.
