Vigora is a prescription medication containing sildenafil citrate, a potent phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor clinically proven to address erectile dysfunction (ED). By enhancing blood flow to the penile tissues during sexual stimulation, it facilitates the achievement and maintenance of firm, reliable erections. This tablet-form treatment is designed for adult men experiencing physiological challenges with erectility, offering a well-researched pharmacological solution that operates only when sexually aroused. Proper diagnosis and medical supervision are imperative to ensure appropriate and safe usage.

Common use

Vigora is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men. It is used to improve erectile function only in the presence of sexual stimulation. It is not indicated for use in women, children, or adolescents. Patients with underlying cardiovascular, renal, or hepatic conditions should use it only after thorough medical evaluation.

Dosage and direction

The recommended starting dose is 50 mg taken approximately one hour before anticipated sexual activity. Based on efficacy and tolerability, the dose may be increased to 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg. Do not exceed one dose in a 24-hour period. Tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water; administration with a high-fat meal may delay onset of action.

Precautions

• Not intended for use by individuals without erectile dysfunction
• Use with caution in patients with anatomical deformation of the penis or conditions predisposing to priapism
• Cardiovascular status should be assessed prior to initiation due to mild systemic vasodilatory effects
• Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, which may increase risk of adverse effects and decrease efficacy
• Not a treatment for sexually transmitted diseases or a form of contraception

Contraindications

• Concomitant use with any form of organic nitrates or nitric oxide donors
• Hypersensitivity to sildenafil or any excipient in the formulation
• Severe hepatic impairment
• History of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)
• Concurrent use with guanylate cyclase stimulators such as riociguat

Possible side effects

Common adverse reactions include headache, flushing, dyspepsia, nasal congestion, and dizziness. Visual disturbances such as altered color perception or blurred vision may occur. Less frequently reported effects include myalgia, back pain, and hypotension. Priapism (prolonged and painful erection) is a rare but serious side effect requiring immediate medical attention.

Drug interaction

Sildenafil is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. Concomitant use with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir) may increase sildenafil concentrations. Alpha-blockers and antihypertensives may potentiate hypotensive effects. Concomitant use with other PDE5 inhibitors is contraindicated.

Missed dose

Vigora is taken on an as-needed basis. There is no scheduled dosing, and therefore no concern regarding missed doses. Do not take extra tablets to compensate for a missed opportunity.

Overdose

In cases of suspected overdose, standard supportive measures should be employed. Expected effects would be an extension of the drug’s vasodilatory properties, including severe hypotension, syncope, or prolonged erection. Renal dialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance. Seek immediate medical assistance.

Storage

Store below 30°C (86°F) in the original packaging. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use after the expiration date printed on the packaging.
