Trutera Tablets 4 mg (Silodosin)

Adult dose

Adults: Administer orally either 1 tablet of 4 mg per dose twice daily after breakfast and dinner, or 2 tablets of 4 mg (8 mg) once daily with a meal. 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 adjust the dose appropriately according to symptoms, such as starting at a low dose (2 mg per dose, twice daily).

This medication should not be used in certain patients. First, those who have had allergic reactions to any ingredients in this drug should avoid taking it. It may also be dangerous for patients with severe renal impairment or severe liver dysfunction. Patients taking strong CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors should also avoid concurrent use of this medication. There are also patients for whom caution is warranted while using this medication. For example, individuals experiencing orthostatic hypotension may have their symptoms exacerbated and should be administered carefully. Patients with mild renal or hepatic impairment may need to proceed with caution due to the potential for increased blood concentration. Additionally, caution should be exercised when taken in conjunction with PDE5 inhibitors or other alpha-blockers. While taking this medication, various side effects may occur. The most common side effects reported include ejaculation disorders, dry mouth, diarrhea, dizziness, and nasal congestion. In severe cases, fainting or liver dysfunction may appear, and any unusual symptoms should be promptly discussed with a healthcare professional. There is a risk of dizziness or fainting related to orthostatic hypotension while on this medication, so sudden changes in posture should be approached with caution. Caution is needed when engaging in dangerous activities such as driving or working at heights. In case of overdose, significant drops in blood pressure can occur, so it is vital to adhere to prescribed dosages. Patients on antihypertensive medications should particularly monitor for changes in blood pressure, and dosage adjustments may be necessary as needed. This medication is a symptomatic treatment; if it is ineffective, alternative therapeutic options should be considered. Diseases that may resemble prostate cancer can exist, so it is essential to confirm the presence or absence of prostate cancer before starting this medication. Furthermore, patients who have upcoming cataract surgery or who have undergone it should inform their healthcare provider about the potential for intraoperative floppy iris syndrome. Elderly patients may have reduced renal and hepatic function, so it is crucial to start at a lower dose and observe their condition carefully during administration.
