Viagra Professional represents a significant advancement in the pharmacological management of erectile dysfunction (ED). This enhanced formulation is designed for men seeking a more potent and rapid-acting solution compared to conventional sildenafil citrate tablets. It employs a specialized manufacturing process that increases the drug’s bioavailability, allowing for a lower effective dose and a potentially faster onset of action. Consulting a healthcare provider is essential to determine if this medication is appropriate for your specific health profile and to rule out underlying cardiovascular issues that may contraindicate its use.

Common use

Viagra Professional is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. Erectile dysfunction is defined as the consistent or recurrent inability to achieve and/or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. The medication is not intended for use by women, children, or men without erectile dysfunction. It is a treatment for the symptom of ED and does not increase sexual desire (libido); sexual stimulation is required for the medication to be effective.

Dosage and direction

The recommended starting dose of Viagra Professional is 50 mg taken approximately 30-60 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. Based on efficacy and tolerability, the dose may be increased to a maximum recommended dose of 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg. The tablet should be placed on the tongue, where it will rapidly disintegrate and be swallowed with saliva; water is not needed for administration. The medication should not be taken more than once per day. The dosing window can be adjusted from 30 minutes to 4 hours prior to sexual activity, as individual response may vary. The presence of a high-fat meal may delay the onset of action.

Precautions

Prior to initiating treatment with Viagra Professional, a thorough medical history and physical examination should be conducted to diagnose ED, determine potential underlying causes, and identify appropriate treatment options. Patients should be assessed for cardiovascular status, as sexual activity carries a potential cardiac risk. Use with caution in patients with anatomical deformation of the penis (e.g., angulation, cavernosal fibrosis, or Peyronie’s disease) or conditions that may predispose them to priapism (e.g., sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia). Use with caution in patients with bleeding disorders or active peptic ulceration. Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) has been reported post-marketing in association with PDE5 inhibitor use; patients should be advised to seek immediate medical attention in the event of sudden vision loss in one or both eyes.

Contraindications

Viagra Professional is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to sildenafil citrate or any component of the tablet. Concomitant administration with any form of organic nitrate therapy (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate or dinitrate) or nitric oxide donors (e.g., amyl nitrite) in any form is absolutely contraindicated due to the risk of a severe, life-threatening hypotension. Concomitant use with guanylate cyclase stimulators, such as riociguat, is also contraindicated. It is not for use in women or individuals under 18 years of age.

Possible side effect

Like all medicines, Viagra Professional can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Very common (≥1/10) and common (≥1/100 to <1/10) side effects include headache, flushing, dyspepsia, nasal congestion, and dizziness. Uncommon side effects (≥1/1,000 to <1/100) include visual disturbances (blurred vision, cyanopsia, photophobia), palpitations, tachycardia, hypotension, syncope, vomiting, rash, and myalgia. Priapism (a painful erection lasting more than 4 hours) is a rare but serious side effect requiring immediate medical intervention to prevent permanent tissue damage. Sudden decrease or loss of hearing and vision have been reported in post-marketing surveillance.

Drug interaction

The most critical interaction is with nitrates and nitric oxide donors, which is contraindicated. Concomitant use with alpha-blockers (e.g., doxazosin, tamsulosin) can lead to symptomatic hypotension; co-administration is not recommended. Potent inhibitors of the cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) pathway, such as ritonavir, indinavir, saquinavir, ketoconazole, itraconazole, erythromycin, and clarithromycin, can significantly increase sildenafil plasma concentrations; a maximum dose of 25 mg should not be exceeded within a 48-hour period when used with these agents. Inducers of CYP3A4 (e.g., rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, St. John’s Wort) may decrease sildenafil plasma concentrations.

Missed dose

Viagra Professional is not intended for chronic daily dosing but is taken on an as-needed basis. Therefore, the concept of a “missed dose” does not apply. Do not take an extra dose to make up for a missed one. Simply take the next dose when planned before sexual activity, ensuring at least 24 hours have passed since the last administration.

Overdose

In cases of overdose, the expected pharmacologic effects would be an exaggeration of the known side effects, including severe hypotension, syncope, and potentially prolonged erection. Standard supportive measures should be applied. Hemodialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance as sildenafil is highly protein-bound and metabolized extensively in the liver.

Storage

Store at room temperature between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F). Keep in the original blister package to protect from moisture and light. Keep out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use after the expiration date printed on the packaging.
