Fildena is an oral medication containing sildenafil citrate as its active ingredient. It is used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men, a condition where a man is unable to achieve or maintain a firm erection suitable for sexual activity. Fildena works by supporting the natural erectile process and helps improve sexual performance and confidence. Available in various strengths, Fildena is considered an effective and affordable alternative to more expensive branded options.

Mechanism of Action
Sildenafil citrate, the active compound in Fildena, belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type five inhibitors. When a man is sexually aroused, the body releases nitric oxide in the penile tissues, which stimulates the production of a chemical called cyclic guanosine monophosphate. This chemical causes the smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis to relax, allowing increased blood flow.

An enzyme called phosphodiesterase type five breaks down this chemical, limiting the erection. Sildenafil blocks this enzyme, allowing cyclic guanosine monophosphate to remain active longer, resulting in improved and sustained blood flow to the penis. The effect only occurs in the presence of sexual stimulation.

Uses
Fildena is used for:

• Treating erectile dysfunction in adult men

• Enhancing the strength and duration of an erection during sexual activity

• Supporting overall sexual function and improving quality of life

Adverse Effects
Fildena may cause side effects in some men. Common side effects include headache, flushing of the face, nasal congestion, dizziness, and indigestion. A few individuals may also experience changes in vision, such as a bluish tint or blurred vision.

Less common side effects can include muscle aches, back pain, or skin rash. In rare cases, more serious effects may occur, such as chest pain, a sudden drop in blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, or an erection that lasts longer than four hours. These conditions require immediate medical attention.

Men with heart conditions, low blood pressure, or those taking nitrate medications should consult a doctor before using Fildena. Responsible use under medical guidance helps ensure safety and effectiveness.
