What is Urorec?
Urorec (Silodosin) is an alpha-adrenergic blocker used as a treatment for men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). As men get older, the prostate often becomes enlarged and can compress the urethra, causing problems with urination. Silodosin works by relaxing the muscles of the prostate and bladder to improve urine flow.
How is Urorec used?
Urorec (Silodosin) comes in an 8mg tablet, and the usual dosage is one tablet each day. This may be different for some people depending on the symptoms.
The correct dosage and prescription commonly depend on the patient and the condition being treated. Do not adjust your dosage without the approval of your health care provider. This product is only for use as prescribed and instructed.
Adverse effects
Urorec (Silodosin) is generally well tolerated and has few side effects. Some people develop headaches, dizziness, nasal congestion, ejaculation irregularities, or reduced blood pressure while taking Silodosin.
If you have an erection that persists for an unusually long period of time, seek medical advice immediately. Also contact your doctor if you show any signs that you may be allergic to silodosin (rashes, hives, swelling of the face or limbs, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing).
Warnings
Urorec (Silodosin) should never be used by female patients or children.
Immediately proceed to your nearest emergency department if you suffer an allergic reaction. Symptoms usually associated with such a reaction include difficulty breathing or swallowing, chest tightness, swelling, skin rashes, and hives.
