✅ Description:
Rapasin is prescribed for the treatment of signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is not intended for the management of hypertension.
Silodosin, the active ingredient in Rapasin, is a selective antagonist of post-synaptic alpha-1 adrenoreceptors found in the prostate, bladder base, bladder neck, prostatic capsule, and prostatic urethra. By blocking these receptors, Rapasin induces smooth muscle relaxation, leading to improved urine flow and reduced BPH symptoms.

- Vasopressors may be used in severe cases.
- Monitor renal function.
