Maxvoid-8 Tablet is primarily used to manage symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland in men. This medicine belongs to a group known as alpha-blockers.

In addition to managing BPH, this tablet eases problems like difficulty starting urination, weak urine flow, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently, especially at night. It also helps with incomplete bladder emptying, which is common in men with enlarged prostates.

Before taking this medicine, you must consult your doctor, who will advise you on the appropriate dosage. Always inform your doctor about any other ongoing medications or if you have any pre-existing conditions. If you experience any side effects while on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. It's essential to continue taking the medicine as long as your doctor prescribes it for optimal results.

Maxvoid-8 Tablet helps managing the following conditions:

Non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland in men, known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Difficulty in initiating the urine stream
Weak flow of urine
Night-time frequent urination, also known as nocturia
Sudden urges to urinate
Incomplete emptying of the bladder

Maxvoid-8 Tablet may cause the following side effects:

Dizziness
Headache
Diarrhoea
Nasal congestion
Orthostatic hypotension: This is a form of low blood pressure that happens when you stand up from sitting or lying down.
Retrograde ejaculation: This refers to an orgasm where little or no semen is released.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, and they resolve when you discontinue using the Maxvoid-8 Tablet. However, if you experience severe side effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Dizziness: Try taking Maxvoid-8 Tablet at bedtime to manage this side effect.
Diarrhoea: It's advisable to take this medicine with food or milk to lessen this effect.

Maxvoid-8 Tablet contains Silodosin (8 mg), which has the following actions on the body:

Muscle Relaxation: Silodosin relaxes muscles in the prostate gland and bladder, making it easier for urine to pass through these organs.
Lower Urinary Tract Pressure Reduction: Silodosin relaxes these muscles, reducing pressure within the lower urinary tract and easing urination.
Alpha-1A Receptor Selectivity: The active ingredient in Maxvoid-8 Tablet selectively binds to alpha-1A receptors predominant in the prostate. This minimises effects on other receptor subtypes that control blood pressure and reduces the risk of low blood pressure compared to less selective alpha-blockers.

Remember, always consult with your doctor to precisely understand how this medication works in your unique health context.
