USES OF SILODAL 8MG CAPSULE

Key Benefits of SILODAL 8MG CAPSULE for BPH:

In BPH, an enlarged prostate can lead to urinary issues such as frequent urination, weak urine stream, difficulty in urination, incomplete bladder emptying, etc. If left untreated, there is a risk of complete urinary blockage.
