Indication

Silagra is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men.

Dosage and Administration

For most patients, the recommended dose is 50 mg taken, as neededapproximately 1 hour before sexual activity. However, Silagra may be takenanywhere from 4 hours to 0.5 hour before sexual activity. Based oneffectiveness and toleration, the dose may be increased to a maximumrecommended dose of 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg. The maximumrecommended dosing frequency is once per day.

Contraindications

Use of Silagra is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivityto any component of the tablet. Consistent with its known effects on thenitric oxide/cGMP pathway, sildenafil was shown to potentiate the hypotensive effects of nitrates, and its administration to patients who areconcurrently using organic nitrates in any form is therefore contraindicated.

Side effects

Only your doctor can decide if SILAGRA is right for you. SILAGRA can cause mild, temporary lowering of your blood pressure. You will need to have a thorough medical exam to diagnose your erectile dysfunction and to find out if you can safely take SILAGRA alone or with your other medicines. Your doctor should determine if your heart is healthy enough to handle the extra strain of having sex. Be sure to tell your doctor if you have had:

Any heart problems (e.g., angina, chest pain, heart failure, irregular heart beats, or heart attack), have ever had a stroke,
» Low or high blood pressure,
» A rare inherited eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa,
» Any kidney problems or any liver problems,
» Any blood problems, including sickle cell anemia or leukemia,
» Allergies to Sildenafil or any of the other ingredients of SILAGRA® tablets,
» A deformed penis, Peyronie`s disease, or ever had an erection that lasted more than 4 hours,
» Stomach ulcers or any types of bleeding problems or, if you are taking any other medicines.

Overdosage

In studies with healthy volunteers of single doses up to 800 mg, adverse events were similar to those seen at lower doses but incidence rates were increased. In cases of overdose, standard supportive measures should be adopted as required. Renal dialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance as sildenafil is highly bound to plasma proteins and it is not eliminated in the urine.
