Fildena Super Active, which contains sildenafil citrate (the same active ingredient as Viagra), is not recommended for men on long-term nitrate therapy due to the risk of a severe drop in blood pressure. Both sildenafil and nitrate medications act on the blood vessels in the body, but they do so in different ways that can cause dangerous interactions.
Why It’s Dangerous:
Sildenafil works by inhibiting the enzyme PDE5, which relaxes the blood vessels in the penis, allowing more blood flow and helping achieve an erection. However, this action also lowers overall blood pressure.
Nitrates, often prescribed for conditions like angina (chest pain) or heart disease, also dilate blood vessels to reduce the heart's workload and lower blood pressure.
Medical Advice:
If you're on nitrate therapy (such as nitroglycerin), it's essential to avoid medications like Fildena Super Active and consult your healthcare provider for safer alternatives for treating erectile dysfunction. Your doctor may recommend PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil at a lower dose or alternative treatments that do not interact with your nitrate therapy.
Fildena Super Active should be avoided by men using long-term nitrate therapy due to the significant risk of a severe drop in blood pressure. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any new medication, especially if you're on heart-related medications.
