Silodosin Pregnancy Warnings
Animal studies have failed to reveal evidence of teratogenicity or fetotoxicity. Studies in rats have revealed decreased male fertility at about twice the maximum recommended human dose (MRHE), decreased sperm count and viability at about 65 times the MRHE, and histopathological changes in the testes and epididymides at about 30 times the MRHE. Decreased fertility was reversible, and the clinical relevance is unknown. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy.
