WHAT SILODOSIN RECORDATI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT SILODOSIN RECORDATI IS
Silodosin Recordati belongs to a group of medicines called alpha
1A
-adrenoreceptor blockers.
Silodosin Recordati is selective for the receptors located in the
prostate, bladder and urethra. By
blocking these receptors, it causes smooth muscle in these tissues to
relax. This makes it easier for you
to pass water and relieves your symptoms.
WHAT SILODOSIN RECORDATI IS USED FOR
Silodosin Recordati is used in adult men to treat the urinary symptoms
associated with benign
enlargement of the prostate (prostatic hyperplasia), such as:
•
difficulty in starting to pass water,
•
a feeling of not completely emptying the bladder,
•
a more frequent need to pass water, even at night.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE SILODOSIN RECORDATI
DO NOT TAKE SILODOSIN RECORDATI
if you are allergic to silodosin or any of the other ingredients of
this medicine (listed in section 6).
