Sildenafil Oral Jelly is a drug used to treat Erectile Dysfunction. It is taken orally and comes in jelly form, making it easy to swallow for older adults and people with difficulty in taking tablets.
ED patients and their partners reported higher satisfaction with treatment (as assessed by the EDITS questionnaire) when treated with sildenafil, as compared to placebo. These effects were maintained over time.
Dosage
Sildenafil (Viagra) is a PDE5 inhibitor, which works by blocking the enzyme responsible for breaking down cGMP in the body. This increases the amount of cGMP available and thus allows blood vessels to dilate, which helps achieve and maintain an erection during sexual activity. The availability of ED medications such as sildenafil has led to a dramatic change in the medical management of the disease by non-specialists (Hatzichristou and Pescatori 2001; Lewis et al 1998).
In general, patients with ED of no known organic cause can expect a full or partial erection rigid enough for penetration within 30 min and up to 4 h following oral administration of 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg sildenafil at recommended doses. In addition, patients receiving oral sildenafil experience a relatively long duration of action (>12 hours) allowing couples to initiate sexual intercourse at a natural time frame.
The daily dosage of sildenafil varies and should be adjusted by a doctor based on the severity of ED and the patient’s response to treatment. It is important to tell a doctor about any other medications, vitamins, or herbal supplements that you are taking. This is because they can interact with sildenafil and reduce or increase its effectiveness. The drug should not be taken by a man who is taking nitrates for heart failure or cardiovascular issues, or those with certain types of diabetes.
Side effects
Taking prescription medications like sildenafil correctly is very important. It works best if you take it at the same time each day. It can also help if you take it with food. Follow your doctor’s instructions on the prescription label, and ask your pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand.
Sildenafil is in a class of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It helps treat erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow to the penis. It also treats pulmonary arterial hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the lungs.
You should not take sildenafil with nitrate medicines, including isosorbide mononitrate and nitroglycerin. Nitrates can lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. You should also not take this medicine with guanylate cyclase stimulators, such as riociguat, or HIV drugs, such as ritonavir, indinavir, saquinavir, and atazanavir. These medicines can interact with sildenafil and cause a sudden drop in blood pressure that could be life-threatening.
Some side effects of sildenafil oral jelly are headache, flushing, stomach upset, dizziness, and changes in vision, such as increased sensitivity to light or blurred vision. The onset of these side effects varies in different people. It may take up to an hour for this medication to begin working. Tell your doctor if these side effects do not go away or get worse.
Precautions
As with any medication, there are some risks associated with taking sildenafil oral jelly. These include headache, flushing, and changes to vision such as increased sensitivity to light, blurred or halos around lights, or blue/green color discrimination (Padma-Nathan 2001). If these side effects occur, they usually disappear within a few hours or days.
It is important to take the medicine exactly as your doctor prescribes it. The tablet form of Super Kamagra is available for those with erectile dysfunction issues who prefer to take medication. Never increase the dose or take it more often than prescribed. Also, do not take it with a high-fat meal as this will reduce the amount of medicine that your body absorbs. It is not advisable to take it with other medicines that can affect your blood pressure, such as nitrates (e.g. nitroglycerin).
Patients may experience different reactions to the medication depending on their medical history and current health conditions. Those with kidney or liver problems, heart disease, diabetes, or sickle cell anemia should receive this treatment under the close supervision of a doctor.
It is also a good idea to discuss other treatment options with your doctor. Although ED medications have helped many men, addressing the underlying cause is always best. Other treatments that your doctor might recommend are Levitra (vardenafil) or Stendra (avanafil). These work differently but both treat erectile dysfunction and improve sexual performance. If your erectile function does not improve after trying these medications, it is important to tell your doctor right away.
Overdose
Sildenafil has been well tolerated at doses of 50 and 100 mg in men with erectile dysfunction. In addition, no evidence exists of a causal relationship between sildenafil use and adverse events such as cardiovascular events, priapism, neuropathies (neurologic symptoms such as blindness or loss of taste), non-arteriolar hypertension (NAION), or drug interactions.
However, the safety of sildenafil in certain patients should be assessed before initiating treatment. Patients with preexisting coronary artery disease, severe arteriosclerosis, or a history of myocardial infarction may be more at risk of a fatal event [2, 3].
One case reported a man in his mid-40s who died shortly after sexual intercourse. He had taken 50 and 100 mg of sildenafil regularly for over a year before his death. The autopsy showed a pericardial tamponade and several scars of the myocardium, suggesting heart failure. He also had severe arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and was on the anti-arrhythmic medication verapamil, which interacts with sildenafil by inhibiting CYP3A4 activity and increases sildenafil toxicity.
Buying unlicensed ED treatments such as Kamagra from online pharmacies is dangerous as they can contain less or more of the active ingredient than advertised and could cause serious harm. Only medications approved by the UK medicines authority have been shown to work and to deliver the correct amount of the active ingredient into the body. Read More…
