About Spento-SD Capsule

Spento-SD Capsule is a combination of medicine primarily used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adults with an enlarged prostate gland. It helps to relieve symptoms such as difficulty urinating or urge to urinate more often and improve your ability to urinate. The prostate is a small, muscular gland in the male reproductive system. Enlargement of the prostate is called BPH common condition as men get older (50-60 years). It occurs when the cells of the prostate gland begin to multiply. In an enlarged prostate gland, the bladder wall becomes thicker, and the bladder may weaken and lose the ability to empty fully, leaving some urine in the bladder.

Spento-SD Capsule is a combination of two drugs, namely; Silodosin and Dutasteride. Silodosin belongs to a class of alpha-1 receptors (located in prostate and bladder) blocker that works by blocking the action of alpha-1 receptors and causes smooth muscle relaxation in the bladder and prostate.
