Active Ingredient: The primary ingredient in Fildena 50 mg is Sildenafil Citrate, a PDE5 inhibitor. It works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is responsible for reducing blood flow to the penis. By blocking this enzyme, Sildenafil helps the blood vessels in the penis relax, allowing increased blood flow and helping to achieve and maintain an erection when aroused.
How It Works: Fildena 50 mg only works in the presence of sexual stimulation. It does not cause an erection automatically but facilitates the natural process of achieving an erection by increasing blood flow to the penis. The effects of Fildena 50 mg are typically noticed within 30 to 60 minutes of ingestion, and the medication’s action can last for 4 to 6 hours, depending on the individual.
Dosage: Fildena 50 mg is a moderate dose and is often prescribed as a starting dose for men who are new to ED treatments or those with milder forms of erectile dysfunction. The standard dosage can be adjusted depending on the individual’s response, and some men may be prescribed higher doses, such as Fildena 100 mg, for more severe cases. However, Fildena should not be taken more than once a day.
How to Use: Fildena 50 mg should be taken 30 to 60 minutes before planned sexual activity. It can be taken with or without food, but a high-fat meal can delay the medication’s effectiveness. It’s important not to exceed the prescribed dose, and it is best to avoid taking the pill more than once in a 24-hour period.
Side Effects: While most men tolerate Fildena 50 mg well, there are potential side effects to be aware of. Common side effects include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, dizziness, and indigestion. Rare but serious side effects may include sudden vision loss, chest pain, or erections lasting more than 4 hours (priapism). If any of these serious side effects occur, immediate medical attention should be sought.
