FAQs
Q. What is Aldosin Capsule used for?
Aldosin Capsule is a medicine given for the treatment of difficulty in urination, urinary dribbling, a strong urge to urination, and frequent urination during the night. It is also used to relieve other symptoms associated with benign enlargement of the prostate gland. It works by reducing the tension in the muscles of the urinary tract like the prostate gland and urethra. It facilitates an easier flow of urine through the urethra, and hence, is very useful in men with difficulty of urination.
Q. When should I take Aldosin Capsule?
It is usually advised to take the dose of Aldosin Capsule daily with a meal. Prefer taking it at the same time of the day. In patients with any kidney impairment, the dose is reduced by the doctor. Patients who are unable to swallow the capsules can open the capsule and sprinkle the powder on a tablespoon of apple sauce. Consume this mixture immediately within 5 minutes without chewing and drink a glass of cool water immediately afterwards.
Q. Can I undergo cataract surgery while taking Aldosin Capsule?
In some cases, Aldosin Capsule has shown specific side effect on the eyes. It has been observed that during an eye surgery the iris tends to get floppy and pupil size becomes small in patients taking Aldosin Capsule. This makes the operation difficult and tedious. Hence, you should always inform your eye specialist about any history related to the use of Aldosin Capsule. Also, the doctor should be informed about all the medication that you are on before starting the treatment.
