Silagra is a prescription medication containing sildenafil citrate, a potent phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor clinically proven to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).

Common use

Silagra is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It is used to facilitate erections adequate for sexual intercourse when taken prior to anticipated sexual activity. It is not indicated for use by women, children, or adolescents. Clinical studies support its efficacy in ED of various etiologies, including psychogenic, organic (e.g., diabetic neuropathy, vascular insufficiency), and mixed causes.

Dosage and direction

The recommended dose is one 100 mg tablet taken approximately 30–60 minutes before sexual activity. Do not exceed one tablet within a 24-hour period. Tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water; they may be taken with or without food, though high-fat meals may delay onset. Sexual stimulation is required for the medication to produce an erection. Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet.

Precautions

• Not intended for use by individuals without erectile dysfunction
• Avoid consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice, which may increase sildenafil concentrations
• Use caution in patients with anatomical deformation of the penis (e.g., Peyronie’s disease)
• May cause dizziness or visual changes; avoid driving or operating machinery until effects are known
• Not recommended for use with other ED treatments or recreational drugs
• Store out of reach of children and pets

Contraindications

• Concomitant use of nitrates in any form (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate)
• Hypersensitivity to sildenafil or any excipients in the formulation
• Severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C)
• Severe hypotension or uncontrolled hypertension
• Recent history of stroke, myocardial infarction, or life-threatening arrhythmia
• Hereditary degenerative retinal disorders (e.g., retinitis pigmentosa)

Possible side effects

Common side effects may include:

• Headache
• Flushing
• Dyspepsia
• Nasal congestion
• Dizziness
• Visual disturbances (e.g., changes in color perception, blurred vision)

Less common but serious side effects requiring medical attention:

• Priapism (prolonged erection >4 hours)
• Sudden hearing loss or tinnitus
• Severe hypotension
• Angina or acute myocardial infarction
• Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)

Drug interaction

• Absolute contraindication with nitrates (may cause severe hypotension)
• Caution with alpha-blockers (additive hypotensive effects)
• CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir) may increase sildenafil exposure
• Inducers of CYP3A4 (e.g., rifampin) may reduce efficacy
• Potential interaction with antihypertensives, especially those affecting nitric oxide pathways
• Avoid use with other PDE5 inhibitors

Missed dose

Silagra is taken on an as-needed basis. There is no dosing schedule to adhere to, and no missed dose concerns. Do not take an extra dose to make up for a missed opportunity.

Overdose

In case of suspected overdose, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms may include severe headache, visual disturbances, prolonged erection, hypotension, syncope, or cardiovascular events. Supportive measures should be instituted; hemodialysis is not expected to significantly enhance elimination.

Storage

Store at room temperature (15–30°C) in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep in the original packaging. Do not use after the expiration date printed on the packaging.
