Fildena 120 mg is a prescription medication that contains Sildenafil Citrate, the same active ingredient found in Viagra. It is used primarily to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), a condition where a man is unable to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity.
How Fildena 120 mg Works: Fildena works by inhibiting the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme, which leads to an increase in cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels. This process results in the relaxation of blood vessels in the penis, increasing blood flow and making it easier to achieve an erection when sexually stimulated.
Dosage and Administration: The usual recommended dose of Fildena for erectile dysfunction is 50 mg to 100 mg, but some men may be prescribed Fildena 120 mg if they have not responded to lower doses. The 120 mg dose is considered a higher dosage and should be taken with caution. It is typically recommended to take it 1 hour before sexual activity and it should not be taken more than once per day.
Potential Side Effects: While Fildena 120 mg can be effective, it may cause side effects similar to other sildenafil-based ED medications. Common side effects include:
Headache Flushing Indigestion Nasal congestion Dizziness Vision changes (e.g., blurred vision or sensitivity to light)
