Geripod D Tablet is indicated for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) in adult males. Geripod D Tablet is a combination of two medicines that work in different ways to treat men with an enlarged prostate gland. It helps to relieve symptoms such as difficulty urinating or needing to go to the toilet more often. It is not used to prevent prostate cancer.
Geripod D Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Silodosin and Dutasteride, which relieves the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Silodosin is an alpha-blocker that relaxes the muscle around the bladder exit and prostate gland for easy passage of urine. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that shrinks the prostate gland by decreasing the level of the hormone which helps the prostate grow.
