CompositionGeripod 8 Capsule is used to relieve the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) in men. It helps improve urine flow, reduces the urge to go urgently or frequently, and makes it easier to completely empty the bladder.
It belongs to a group of medicines called alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blockers. Take it with a meal at the same time each day as prescribed. Rise slowly from sitting or lying down, especially in the early days of treatment, to reduce the risk of dizziness.
Keeping a normal fluid intake through the day and limiting caffeine and alcohol, which can irritate the bladder, all help alongside this medicine.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any planned eye surgery, particularly cataract surgery, as this medicine can affect how the pupil responds during the procedure. Also tell your doctor about any liver or kidney problems and low blood pressure. Report significant dizziness or fainting promptly.
