Common Use

Sildenafil is the primary active ingredient in Intagra. It works by improving the body's response to sexual stimulation. The mechanism involves enhancing smooth muscle relaxation through nitric oxide, a chemical naturally released during sexual arousal. This relaxation increases blood flow to the penis, facilitating an erection.

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

Dosage and Direction

Intagra should be taken approximately 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Avoid taking it more than once a day. Note that consuming a high-fat meal may delay its effects. It is also recommended to avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice while using Sildenafil.

Precautions

Before starting Sildenafil, inform your doctor or pharmacist of any allergies or medical conditions. Older adults may be more sensitive to the drug's side effects.

Contraindications

Intagra is contraindicated for patients taking other medications for impotence or nitrates for chest pain or heart issues. It should not be used by women, children, or individuals with a known hypersensitivity to any component of the tablet.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include headache, flushing, heartburn, stomach upset, nasal congestion, dizziness, lightheadedness, or diarrhea. Serious allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention. Most users do not experience severe side effects. If you notice any unlisted effects, contact your healthcare provider.

Drug Interactions

Do not use Sildenafil with nitrates, recreational drugs containing amyl or butyl nitrite ("poppers"), alpha-blockers, other impotence medications, or high blood pressure drugs. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for additional details.

Missed Dose

Since Intagra is taken as needed, there is no dosing schedule to follow.

Overdose

In case of an overdose, seek emergency medical assistance immediately. Symptoms may include chest pain, nausea, irregular heartbeat, and lightheadedness or fainting.

Storage

Store the medication at room temperature (68-77°F or 20-25°C) away from light and moisture. Keep it out of the bathroom and ensure it is inaccessible to children and pets.
