Common Use

Sildenafil is the main component of Eriacta. It enhances the response to sexual stimulation by promoting smooth muscle relaxation through nitric oxide, a chemical released during sexual activity. This relaxation increases blood flow to the penis, resulting in an erection.

Sildenafil is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men and pulmonary arterial hypertension. It may also be prescribed for other conditions not listed here.

Dosage and Direction

Take Eriacta approximately 0.5 to 1 hour before sexual activity. Do not exceed one dose per day.

A high-fat meal may delay the drug's effect. Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment.

Precautions

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have any allergies or medical conditions before starting Sildenafil. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to its side effects.

Contraindications

Eriacta is not recommended for patients taking other impotence treatments or nitrate drugs for chest pain or heart problems. It should not be used by women, children, or individuals with hypersensitivity to any of its components.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include:

• Headache
• Flushing
• Heartburn
• Stomach upset
• Nasal stuffiness
• Lightheadedness

Serious allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention. Notify your doctor if you experience any unlisted side effects.

Drug Interactions

• Nitrates or "poppers" containing amyl or butyl nitrite
• Alpha-blocker medications

Consult your doctor or pharmacist for further details.

Missed Dose
