Fildena Super Active contains Sildenafil as its active ingredient, similar to other medications used for treating erectile dysfunction (ED). Its interaction with other prescription medications can affect its efficacy and safety. Here are some key points regarding these interactions:
Nitrates: Fildena Super Active should never be taken with nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate). The combination can lead to a severe drop in blood pressure, which can be life-threatening.
Alpha-Blockers: Medications used to treat high blood pressure or prostate conditions (e.g., doxazosin, prazosin) can interact with Fildena Super Active. Using these together can lead to a significant drop in blood pressure, dizziness, or fainting.
Antihypertensive Medications: Other blood pressure medications may also interact with Fildena Super Active, potentially enhancing the blood pressure-lowering effects. Monitoring is important when these are used together.
Antibiotics and Antifungals: Certain antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin) and antifungal medications (e.g., ketoconazole) can increase the levels of Sildenafil in the blood, potentially leading to an increased risk of side effects. Dosage adjustments may be necessary.
HIV Protease Inhibitors: Drugs used to treat HIV (e.g., ritonavir, saquinavir) can increase Sildenafil levels in the bloodstream, enhancing its effects and side effects. Caution is advised when combining these medications.
Other ED Medications: Taking Fildena Super Active in conjunction with other medications for erectile dysfunction (like Viagra or Levitra) is not recommended, as this can increase the risk of side effects and does not improve efficacy.
Grapefruit Juice: While not a prescription medication, it’s worth noting that grapefruit juice can increase the concentration of Sildenafil in the blood, potentially leading to increased side effects. It’s advisable to limit or avoid grapefruit products while taking Fildena Super Active.
Medications Affecting Liver Enzymes: Drugs that impact liver enzymes (like cytochrome P450) can influence how Sildenafil is metabolized, potentially increasing or decreasing its effectiveness and side effects.
