Silodosin Capsule 4mg (Silodosin)

Adult dose

Adults: Administer 1 capsule of 4mg twice daily after breakfast and dinner, or 2 capsules of 4mg (8mg) once daily with food, orally. However, increased plasma concentrations of silodosin have been reported in patients with renal impairment, and plasma concentrations may also increase in patients with hepatic impairment. Therefore, monitor the patient's condition and initiate treatment at a low dose (1 capsule of 2mg twice daily), as appropriate, reducing the dose according to symptoms.

This medication should not be administered to patients with hypersensitivity to its ingredients. Patients with severely impaired kidney function or significantly decreased liver function should also not use this medication. Furthermore, patients taking certain strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as certain antifungals or antibiotics, should not use this medication in combination. Patients with genetic disorders affecting lactose breakdown should also not be given this medication. Patients with postural hypotension may experience worsening symptoms when taking this medication, so it should be used with caution. Patients with liver or kidney function impairment may have increased concentrations of this medication, requiring careful attention. When taking this medication together with other medications that lower blood pressure or have similar effects, there may be an increased risk of significant blood pressure reduction. This medication can cause various side effects, including ejaculation disorders, dry mouth, diarrhea, dizziness, nasal congestion, etc. Particularly, syncope or loss of consciousness may occur due to blood pressure drops, so immediate consultation with a healthcare provider is advised if symptoms arise. Elderly patients may have reduced liver and kidney function, so starting with a low dose and monitoring the condition during use is essential. This medication should be stored out of reach of children and should not be transferred to another container. Before taking this medication, it is essential to confirm the absence of prostate cancer and consider other treatment options if necessary. Caution is advised while driving or performing hazardous tasks, as dizziness or vertigo may occur.
