Filagra is the
generic version of the original Viagra medication which contains the active
ingredient Sildenafil Citrate. Filagra is prescribed for the
treatment of erectile dysfunction. It is also indicated for pulmonary arterial
hypertension. This medication relaxes muscles in the penis and increases blood
flow in it, thereby helping men to achieve and maintain an erection. Sildenafil
Citrate does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Filagra is contraindicated in patients taking another medicine to treat
impotence or using a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems.
This medicine should not be taken by women and children as well as in patients
with a known hypersensitivity to any component of the tablet. Usually
drug interactions occur when it is taken with another drug or with food. Before
you take a medication for a particular ailment, you should inform the health
expert about intake of any other medications including non-prescription
medications, over-the-counter medicines that may increase the effect of
Filagra, and dietary supplements like vitamins, minerals and herbal, so that
the doctor can warn you of any possible drug interactions. Like other
medicines, Filagra can cause some side effects. If they do occur, the side
effects of Filagra are most likely to be minor and temporary. However, some may
be serious and may require the individual to inform the doctor or visit the
nearest hospital immediately. It is pertinent to note that side effects of
Filagra cannot be anticipated. If any side effects of Filagra develop or change
in intensity, the doctor should be informed as soon as possible. Filagra can
cause side effects such as back pain, upset stomach, stuffy nose, headache,
blurred vision, and flushing in your face, neck, or chest. This is not a
complete list of all side effects. Do concur with your doctor and follow his
directions completely when you are taking Filagra. Before
you start taking Sildenafil, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic
to it; or if you have any other allergies.
Aged people may be more sensitive to the side effects of the drug.
Also,
tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of
drinks containing caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal
drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works.
Filagra is quickly gaining recognition as a
quality, reliable and safe treatment for men who need that extra bit of lift in
the bedroom.
