Ajanta Kamagra Oral Jelly 1 sachet (100 mg/sachet)

Sildenafil

Viagra is a leading PDE5 inhibitor medication known for its effectiveness in treating erectile dysfunction.

Key Characteristics of Sildenafil

Mechanism of Action

• Sildenafil inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), enhancing levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This increase, stimulated by nitric oxide (NO), leads to relaxation of penile smooth muscles and improved blood flow, facilitating an erection.
• This powerful mechanism allows for both the achievement and maintenance of an erection during sexual activity.

Indications

• Erectile dysfunction in men is the primary indication for sildenafil.
• It is also administered in the form of Revatio for treating arterial hypertension.

Onset of Action

• Typically, sildenafil begins working within 30 minutes, although some users may experience a delay of up to 1 hour.

Duration of Action

• The effects of sildenafil generally endure for 4 to 5 hours, supporting sustained erectile function.

Dosage

• The standard starting dose for sildenafil is 50 mg, adjustable based on individual effectiveness and tolerance.
• It is advisable to take the dosage approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to sexual engagement.

Side Effects

• Frequent side effects may include headache, facial flushing, dyspepsia (such as nausea and diarrhea), visual disturbances (including blurred or altered color vision), and increased blood pressure. Rarely, users may experience hearing loss or auditory changes.

Contraindications

• Sildenafil must not be combined with nitrates (such as nitroglycerin) due to the risk of serious hypotension.
• This medication is contraindicated for individuals with significant cardiac conditions or those who have recently suffered a myocardial infarction or stroke.
