Fildena 100mg

What is Fildena 100mg?

Fildena 100mg is a prescription medication that is primarily prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains Sildenafil Citrate, a PDE5 inhibitor works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penile region, thereby enhancing blood flow and facilitating a firm and sustained erection during sexual stimulation. 

Manufactured by Fortune Healthcare, this medication is widely used as an affordable alternative to branded ED treatments.  It is available in tablet form and should be consumed 30 to 60 minutes prior to sexual activity. The effects of this medication can last for up to 4 to 6 hours. Nevertheless, it is imperative that it be administered under the guidance of a physician, as it may interact with specific medications and is not appropriate for individuals with specific health conditions.

Fildena 100mg offers an effective treatment for men who are experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED), thereby improving their sexual performance and confidence.

Uses:

Fildena 100mg tablets are primarily known for treating erectile dysfunction and it has several medical and off label uses. Here is detailed explanation:

• For ED

Fildena 100mg is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence in men). It contains Sildenafil Citrate, a PDE5 inhibitor that increases blood flow to the penis by relaxing blood vessels. This increased circulation enables men to attain and maintain a hard erection when sexually stimulated. The medicine is most effective when given 30-60 minutes before intercourse and in the presence of sexual excitement. It drastically promotes sexual performance, confidence, and general closeness. 

• Pulmonary arterial hypertension

Although Sildenafil (the active component in Fildena) is generally used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), it is also used in lesser doses to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a disease characterized by excessive blood pressure in the lungs’ arteries. It works by relaxing and expanding blood arteries in the lungs, lowering blood pressure and increasing oxygen flow. This allows people with PAH to breathe more readily and participate in physical activities with less difficulty. 

• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Fildena 100mg may help men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), sometimes known as an enlarged prostate. Although Sildenafil is not officially authorized for BPH, it has been shown to help relax the smooth muscles of the bladder and prostate, lowering urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, poor urine flow and urgency. Most of the individuals who use Sildenafil for erectile dysfunction report an improvement in urine function. 

Dosage:

Fildena 100mg has Sildenafil Citrate in it and is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and some conditions that aren’t on the label, like pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Here are the exact dosage instructions for each condition:

• For erectile dysfunction

Fildena 100mg is advised for males suffering from erectile dysfunction. One tablet should be taken orally 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. The effects usually last 4 to 6 hours, however this might vary depending on the individual’s metabolism and health status.The maximum suggested frequency is once per day, and exceeding this amount may raise the risk of adverse effects including headaches, dizziness, or persistent erections (priapism). Individuals who do not attain the required results may be given lower or larger dosages (Fildena 25mg, 50mg, or 150mg) under physician supervision. 

• For pulmonary arterial hypertension

When used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), Sildenafil is often administered at a lower dose and taken several times daily. The usual regimen consists of taking 20mg of Sildenafil (not Fildena 100mg) three times each day, around 4 to 6 hours apart. However, if Fildena 100mg is chosen, a doctor may divide the pill into smaller dosages to meet the PAH treatment requirements. 

• For benign prostatic hyperplasia

The suggested dose for BPH ranges from 25mg to 100mg once a day, depending on the severity of the symptoms and the patient’s general condition. Fildena 100mg is usually taken once a day, at the same time, with or without meals. 

How to Take Fildena 100mg Tablet?

It can be consumed orally with a full glass of water without chewing, splitting and breaking the tablet. 

For ED it is taken as needed, once per day before sexual activity. For PAH and BPH take the recommended dosage daily as prescribed by the physician.

It can be taken on an empty stomach or after having meals. However high fat containing food may interact with the medication and decrease its results.

Missed Dosage:

Fildena 100mg is taken whenever needed thus there is no set dose regimen. If a dosage is missed, simply take it 30 to 60 minutes before your intended sexual activity. 

If you are using fildena for PAH and BPH, In case you forget to take a dose, do so as soon as you remember. Although, if it’s almost time for the next dose, don’t take the missed one. Instead, go back to your regular routine. Due to the higher chance of side effects, do not take two doses to make up for the one you missed.

Overdosage:

If you think someone has taken too much Fildena, they should get medical help right away. 

Symptoms of overdose

• Dizziness
• Fainting
• Priapism
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain
• Nausea

If an overdose is suspected consult a medical provider for immediate treatment. Do not attempt self treatment without medical supervision.

Action Mechanism:

Fildena 100mg tablets contain sildenafil citrate, a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor which works by increasing blood flow. Below is a detailed explanation:

• For erectile dysfunction 

In males with erectile dysfunction, the inability to obtain or sustain an erection is frequently caused by inadequate blood circulation in the penile area. Normally, during sexual arousal, the body produces nitric oxide (NO), which raises cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels. This substance relaxes the smooth muscles of the blood arteries, enabling them to expand and enhance blood flow to the penis, resulting in an erection.

• For pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disorder in which the lungs’ arteries have excessive blood pressure, making it difficult for the heart to pump blood properly. Fildena’s principal component, sildenafil, helps to lower pulmonary artery pressure by relaxing smooth muscle cells in the lungs’ blood arteries. 

Sildenafil inhibits PDE5, increasing cGMP levels and causing vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) in the pulmonary arteries. This lowers resistance in the blood arteries, allowing the heart to pump blood more effectively, boosting oxygen supply and alleviating symptoms such as shortness of breath and exhaustion. This action allows PAH patients to engage in physical activities more easily.

• For benign prostatic hyperplasia

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate that can produce urinary symptoms such as difficulty urinating, decreased urine flow, and frequent urination, particularly at night. The PDE5 enzyme is found in both the smooth muscles of the prostate and bladder. Fildena 100mg relaxes these muscles by decreasing PDE5, which reduces pressure on the bladder and urethra. This relaxation increases urine flow while decreasing symptoms such as urgency and frequency.
