Does Rapaflo Help Remove Water From The System?
Question: Does rapafilo remove water from the system?
Brief Answer:
Does not remove water from the system.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Rapaflo (silodosin) helps to relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate and is therefore used to improve urination in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). It does not cause water loss from the system and therefore does not make you vulnerable to orthostatic hypotension (sudden drop in blood pressure on standing up).
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
