Alphacept D8 Tablet 10’S
Alphacept-D8 Tablet 15’s belongs to the group of medicines called ‘alpha-blockers’ used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia – BPH) in men. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in which there is an enlargement of the prostate gland due to the multiplication of the cells mostly in men above 50 years of age. The growth of the prostate gland is non-cancerous in nature. Alphacept-D8 Tablet 15’s contains ‘Silodosin’ that works by blocking the receptors (alpha 1) located in the prostate, bladder and urethra (urine pipe), thereby relaxes the muscles of the bladder and prostate gland. This help in relieving the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and makes it easier to pass water, thereby increasing urine output and flow. You are advised to take Alphacept-D8 Tablet 15’s for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Alphacept-D8 Tablet 15’s may cause common side-effects such as ejaculation disorders (orgasm with reduced or no sperm), dizziness, diarrhoea, stuffy nose (nasal congestion), and orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering in blood pressure leading to dizziness on standing). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
