Is there any link between Silofast tablet and semen production?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I was diagnosed to have a kidney stone. I am taking Silofast 8 mg tablet and Stone B tonic. Now, I do not have any pain and in the last scan, the stone was not visible. Earlier, it was 3 mm. My doctor asked me to continue the same tablet and tonic. I was away from sex for a month due to stone problem. In the last three days, I did not get semen when I tried to ejaculate. Please let me know if this tablet may give any issue. In the scan, my prostate size was normal and no problem seen. Please help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The problem of retrograde ejaculation is due to the Silodosin tablet you are taking. You should stop this medicine, if the stone is not seen in repeat scan. The ejaculation will become normal in 24 hours after stopping the medicine. You can continue with the stone syrup for three months and it did not have any major side effects.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I had the tablet last on the 11th night. Today I tried and had only a few drops of clear liquid, which did not look like a semen. What shall I do?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It usually does not take more than three days for the ejaculation to become normal after stopping Silodosin.
