Welcome to Fildena

What is Fildena?

Fildena is a generic form of a renowned medicine known as Viagra Purple. It consists of the same active pharmaceutical agent sildenafil citrate in its composition. It is a prospective generic alternative for erectile dysfunction and is prescribed by the doctors to men older than 18 years of age. It is used by a large number of men belonging to different areas of the world and produce great results provided it is used properly. What makes it convenient to use is the fact that it is available in different strengths and potency providing the customers a lot of options to choose from. The drug is basically produced in India and many of the companies that are involved in its manufacture claim that it can be used in females in order to treat their sexual dysfunction as well.

How Fildena Works

The normal physiological mechanism of action by which an erection is achieved revolves around the discharge of nitric oxide (NO) within the corpus cavernosum of the penis during the time when a person is sexually stimulated. NO once produced activates an enzyme that is known as guanylate cyclase, which is responsible for increasing the levels of (cGMP), cyclic guanosine monophosphate in the penile tissue. High levels of cGMP in the penis ultimately produce relaxation of the smooth muscles in the corpus cavernosum and allows more blood to flow towards it. Fildena affects a person suffering from ED by enhancing the effect of nitric oxide by stopping the action of an enzyme that is known as PDE5 inhibitor. This enzyme normally breaks down cGMP in the penile tissue and prevents the person from getting an erection. Fildena does not directly acts to produce relaxation in the penis but stops PDE5 which causes accumulation of cGMP and leads to powerful erections. Fildena works best on a person who is already stimulated sexually.

Indications of Fildena

Because it has sildenafil citrate in its composition, Fildena is extensively used to treat problems related to the sexual health in males. The drug actively works to help the patients acquire harder and firmer erections. It reduces the flaccidity of the erection and ensures that the patient using it reaches towards the climax. In addition to this, it also enhances the feelings and sensations of the person during sexual intercourse. It must be kept in mind that Fildena is not aphrodisiac in nature and it just makes it easier for a person to smoothly proceed through a sexual act. Fildena is also claimed to work in females suffering from an inability to get aroused sexually. It helps these females to achieve an orgasm more easily and improves the quality of their lives.

Duration and Speed of Action of Fildena

Once it is administered in the body, Fildena needs some time to activate itself and produce the desired effects. Therefore, it is advised to take Fildena about 30 to 45 minutes prior to participating in a sexual activity. This allows Fildena to express itself fully and provide maximum results in the patient using it. The effects of a single dose of Fildena is claimed to last for 4 to 6 hours in females. However, the effects of this drug are said to last for a much longer time in males i.e. up to 12 hours. Therefore, one pill of Fildena is usually sufficient on a daily basis. It is, however, important to remember that Fildena does not start working right away and half an hour should be given to it for experiencing better performance in a sexual activity.

Drug Interactions

Fildena has a tendency to interact with certain drugs hence, it must only be used after properly consulting a doctor. The most commonly occurring cross-reactivity of this drug is with the nitrates. Certain nitric oxide donors for example nitrates, nitrites and nitroglycerin are strictly contraindicated during therapy with Fildena irrespective of their formulation. Because Fildena has direct effects on the NO-cGMP pathway, it can cause hypotension in the body by tagging up with nitrates risking the life of the patient. Alpha blockers such as prazosin and tamsulosin possess the same blood pressure lowering effect as Fildena. Therefore, there exist a risk of cross-reactivity when both agents are administered into the body simultaneously. Administration of a drug named amlodipine with Fildena also causes a decrease in the blood pressure. Certain drugs like ritonavir are inhibitors of the enzyme system of the liver called as CYP3A4 and if Fildena is taken along with any of these drugs, it can cause accumulation of Fildena in the body and exacerbate its adverse effects to dangerously high levels. Alcohol is usually not advised to be consumed along with Fildena as well for the risk of developing other complications.

Adverse Effects

Use of Fildena is associated with a number of side effects that vary from person to person according to his physical health. The most common adverse effects that can be seen during therapy with Fildena include a headache and flushing of different parts of the body like neck, face, and chest. The patient might complain about GI stress as well as an upset stomach. Indigestion can also be seen in some of them along with congestion in the nose. Some patients might observe changes in the visual acuity of one or both of their eyes. The ringing of ears and a partial loss of hearing are also reported by some people as side effects of Fildena. In very rare cases, people using Fildena can attain unwanted erections which cause a lot of pain and are known as priapism if they last for more than 4 hours. On encountering any of these problems continuously for some time, the patient is advised to stop using Fildena immediately and contact a doctor right away

The dosage of Fildena

Fildena is available in one formulation only i.e. film coated hard tablets. These tablets are meant to be taken orally with the help of a full glass of plain water. One tablet is enough for achieving the desired effects on a daily basis hence, Fildena can be considered as an economical drug. Fildena is commonly available in the form of 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg potency and the patient has an option to choose from these different strengths as per his requirements. In case the patient feels like Fildena is not working for him, he can increase the dose from once per day to higher doses after consulting with a doctor. The drug is also available in extended forms having the strength of 120 mg and 150 mg for those who require high performance. However, using Fildena in a limited quantity is advised in order to experience better results.
