What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is characterized by the inability to achieve and sustain a firm erection suitable for sexual intercourse. It can manifest due to a range of physical or psychological factors, including fear of sexual performance, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and stress. Additionally, certain health-related aspects such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, lack of physical activity, and high blood pressure can contribute to ED. Common symptoms of erectile dysfunction encompass difficulties in achieving an erection, challenges in maintaining it throughout sexual activity, and a decrease in sexual desire.

Pharmacology

Silagra 100mg Tablet contains sildenafil, a PDE5 inhibitor that works by blocking the action of cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP)-breaking enzyme PDE5. By inhibiting PDE5, which typically breaks down cGMP in the corpus cavernosum, sildenafil prolongs the effects of nitric oxide (NO). This leads to smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow, facilitating penile erection.

Dosage & Administration of Silagra 100mg Tablet

The recommended dosage is 50 mg of sildenafil taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. It can be taken 30 minutes to 4 hours before sex, and the dose may be adjusted to a maximum of 100 mg or reduced to 25 mg based on effectiveness and tolerance. Silagra 100 should not be taken more than once a day.

Interaction

Silagra 100 may interact with organic nitrates, some antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin and rifampin), protease inhibitors used for HIV treatment, and medications like cimetidine used to treat stomach ulcers. Antifungal drugs ketoconazole and itraconazole may decrease sildenafil clearance.
