What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

SILODOSIN (CAS 160970-54-7) – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Silodosin (CAS 160970-54-7) is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist primarily used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a condition characterized by the enlargement of the prostate, which causes urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and urinary retention. Silodosin works by selectively blocking alpha-1 adrenergic receptors in the smooth muscles of the prostate and bladder, leading to the relaxation of these muscles and easing urine flow. It is widely prescribed for improving urinary symptoms in men with BPH. This white to off-white crystalline powder is available in pharmaceutical grades (IP/BP/USP), ensuring high purity for use in oral tablets and capsules. We supply Silodosin to pharmaceutical manufacturers, healthcare providers, and research organizations globally, ensuring reliable and high-quality supply to USA, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Chile.
