Idifos Tablet 100 mg (Sildenafil Citrate)

Adult dose

As sildenafil, an oral dose of 25 to 50 mg is recommended about 1 hour before sexual activity, and it may be taken anywhere from 4 hours to 30 minutes before sexual activity, depending on individual circumstances. The dose may be adjusted based on efficacy and tolerability.

This drug has a vasodilatory effect and can lower blood pressure. Therefore, it should not be taken with nitrate medications or drugs that release nitric oxide, as there is a risk of blood pressure dropping excessively. Patients with heart or vascular issues should consult a doctor before taking this drug. It is especially unsafe for patients with severe cardiovascular disease or those who have recently experienced a heart attack or stroke. This drug can put strain on the heart during sexual activity, so patients with poor heart health are advised against engaging in sexual intercourse. Rarely, an erection lasting more than 4 hours may occur, and immediate medical attention should be sought in such cases. Additionally, certain medications can significantly increase blood concentration when taken together, so patients should inform their doctor or pharmacist of any medications being taken. This drug contains the artificial sweetener aspartame, and patients with phenylketonuria should avoid it. This drug is not for use by children under 18 years of age or women. Dizziness or visual disturbances may occur after taking this drug, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. Also, taking it with alpha-blockers may cause symptoms of low blood pressure, so a time interval should be maintained between doses. Overdosage may exacerbate symptoms such as headaches, flushing, and dizziness, in which case immediate medical assistance should be contacted. Lastly, this drug is intended for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and should not be used for any other purpose.
