Filitra 10mg-Quick Erection with Lower Side Effects

Filitra 10mg Action Mechanism

Filitra 10 mg works by using its active ingredient, vardenafil, a PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) inhibitor, to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It enhances blood flow to the penis, enabling men to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation.

Inhibition of PDE5 Enzyme

PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) is an enzyme that breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), essential for relaxing blood vessels. Vardenafil inhibits PDE5, preventing the breakdown of cGMP and allowing it to accumulate in the penile tissues.

Relaxation of Smooth Muscles

Increased levels of cGMP relax the smooth muscles in the walls of blood vessels in the penis. It leads to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), enhancing blood flow in the erectile tissues (corpus cavernosum) on both sides of the penis.

Improved Blood Flow

With relaxed blood vessels and increased blood flow, the corpora cavernosa (spongy tissues in the penis) fills with blood more easily during arousal.

Erection during Sexual Stimulation

The enhanced blood flow enables a firm and sustainable erection when sexually aroused. Sexual stimulation is necessary for Filitra to work-it does not cause an automatic erection.

Filitra 10 mg begins within 15-30 minutes after ingestion, making it suitable for spontaneous use. The effects last for 4-6 hours, giving users a wide window of opportunity for sexual activity.

Selective Targeting

Vardenafil selectively targets PDE5, minimizing side effects in other body parts (e.g., the retina, reducing visual disturbances compared to sildenafil).

Improved Response with Lower Dose

As a potent PDE5 inhibitor, vardenafil achieves significant results even at lower doses like 10 mg.

How It Supports Erectile Function

Filitra enhances the natural erectile process. It helps overcome the physical challenges of ED by improving vascular health and blood flow.

How to Take Filitra 10 mg?

To use Filitra 10 mg effectively and safely, follow these steps:

1. Take as Directed

Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider regarding dosage and timing.

2. Timing

Take one tablet about 30-60 minutes before planned sexual activity. The effects begin within 15-30 minutes and last 4-6 hours.

3. Swallow with Water

Swallow the Filitra tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.

4. with or Without Food

You may take Filitra on an empty stomach or with meals. Avoid Heavy or Fatty Meals: High-fat meals can delay the onset of action.

5. Sexual Stimulation Required

Filitra enhances the natural erectile process. However, it requires sexual arousal to work effectively.

6. Dosage Limit

Do not take more than one dose of Filitra 20mg in 24 hours to avoid the risk of side effects.

Doses of Filitra (Vardenafil)

1. Filitra 5 mg

It is a low starting dose for men with mild ED and individuals who are sensitive to higher doses or prone to side effects. It has minimal risk of side effects while providing effective results.

2. Filitra 10 mg

It is the standard starting dose for most men with moderate ED and first-time users to assess tolerance and effectiveness. It balances potency and tolerability, making it suitable for general use.

3. Filitra 20 mg

It is the maximum strength for men with severe ED who have not achieved adequate results with lower doses. It provides potent effects but with a higher risk of side effects.

Choosing the Right Dose

For New Users

Start with 10 mg to gauge your response. The doctor may upgrade to 20 mg or downgrade to 5 mg.

For Sensitive Individuals

Consider 5 mg if you are prone to side effects or have underlying health conditions.

For Severe ED

Your doctor may suggest a Filitra 20 mg dose under medical supervision.

1. Medical Conditions

Heart Problems

Avoid if you have severe cardiovascular conditions:

• Unstable angina.
• Recent heart attack or stroke (within the past 6 months).
• Severe heart failure.

Use it cautiously if you have a history of heart disease.

Blood Pressure Issues

Not for individuals with very low blood pressure (hypotension). Use it cautiously if you are taking medications for high blood pressure.

Liver or Kidney Disease

Dose adjustments may be necessary for individuals with impaired liver or kidney function.

Eye Disorders

Avoid if you have a history of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) or other retinal disorders.

Peyronie's Disease

Use it cautiously if you have a penile deformity or conditions like Peyronie's disease, as it increases the risk of complications.

Blood Disorders

Conditions such as sickle cell anemia, leukemia, or multiple myeloma may increase the risk of priapism (prolonged erection).

2. Drug Interactions

Nitrates

Do not take Filitra with nitrate medications (e.g., nitroglycerin) for chest pain, as this combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Alpha-Blockers

Use it cautiously if you are taking medications for high blood pressure or prostate problems, as combining these drugs may lead to severe hypotension.

Other ED Medications

Avoid using Filitra with other PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil (Viagra) or tadalafil (Cialis).

CYP3A4 Inhibitors

Drugs such as ketoconazole, erythromycin, and ritonavir can increase vardenafil levels in the blood, raising the risk of side effects.

Alcohol

Excessive alcohol consumption can reduce the effectiveness and increase the likelihood of side effects like dizziness or low blood pressure.

Grapefruit and juice

Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice, as they can interfere with the metabolism of vardenafil, increasing the risk of side effects.

Dietary Fat

While Filitra is less affected by meals, high-fat meals may slightly delay its onset of action.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water to reduce the risk of dehydration-related side effects like headaches.

Follow Prescribed Dose

Do not exceed one dose (10 mg or as prescribed) in 24 hours.

Older Individuals

Older men may require a lower dose because of slower metabolism.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

It is not suitable for use by women; avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Children and Adolescents

Not suitable for individuals under 18 years of age.

Child Safety

Store out of reach of children and pets.

What Filitra 10mg Does Not Do?

Filitra does not enhance sexual desire but improves the physiological process of achieving an erection. It does not prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or act as a contraceptive. It temporarily relieves the symptoms of ED. It does not address underlying psychological or hormonal causes.

What are the risk factors for severe side effects?

Use Filitra 10mg cautiously if you have pre-existing conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, including a history of heart attack or stroke, Retinal disorders or a history of sudden vision loss, liver or kidney impairments. Avoid drug interactions by taking Filitra with nitrates, alpha-blockers, or other contraindicated medications increases risk. Avoid overdose. Exceeding the recommended dose raises the likelihood of severe side effects.

When do you Seek Emergency Help?

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain or difficulty breathing, vision or hearing loss, a prolonged and painful erection, or severe allergic reactions such as swelling or difficulty breathing.

How do you minimize risks?

Use Filitra only as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Avoid combining it with alcohol, grapefruit, or contraindicated medications. Report any unusual symptoms to your doctor promptly.

When do you contact a doctor?
