1. Take one Silorap 8mg capsule once daily with dinner
2. Swallow whole with water – never open, crush, or chew
3. Same time every evening for steady effect
4. Continue long-term unless doctor advises otherwise
5. If dose is missed, skip it and resume next day with food (do not double)

Q1: When does the doctor prescribe 8mg instead of 4mg?
A1: Severe symptoms, very large prostate, or when 4mg silodosin (or tamsulosin/alfuzosin) gives only partial relief.

Q2: Is the 8mg dose safe long-term?
A2: Yes – licensed and widely used for years in men who need maximum effect; same excellent safety profile as 4mg.

Q3: Will retrograde ejaculation be worse on 8mg?
A3: Slightly more common (35–40% vs 28% on 4mg), but still completely harmless and reverses on stopping.

Q4: How soon will I notice extra improvement after switching to 8mg?
A4: Most men feel further relief within 1–2 weeks; maximum benefit by week 4.

Q5: Can I split the 8mg capsule to go back to 4mg if needed?
A5: No – capsules must be swallowed whole; doctor will switch you to Silorap 4mg if dose reduction is required.
