Common Use

The primary active ingredient in Viagra Caps is Sildenafil Citrate. This compound works by responding to sexual stimulation, enhancing the relaxation of smooth muscles through the action of nitric oxide, a chemical naturally released during arousal. This relaxation increases blood flow to the penis, facilitating an erection.

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

Dosage and Direction

Viagra Capsules should be taken approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity. Do not exceed one dose per day. A high-fat meal may delay the drug's effectiveness. Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking Sildenafil Citrate.

Precautions

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

Contraindications

Viagra Capsules should not be taken by individuals using other medications for impotence or nitrate drugs for chest pain or heart problems. It is also contraindicated for women, children, and those 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 side effects, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Drug Interactions

Sildenafil Citrate should not be combined with nitrates, recreational drugs like "poppers" containing amyl or butyl nitrite, alpha-blockers, other impotence medications, or high blood pressure treatments. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for further details.

Missed Dose

Viagra Capsules are taken as needed, so a dosing schedule is unnecessary.

Overdose

Seek emergency medical assistance immediately if an overdose is suspected. Symptoms may include chest pain, nausea, irregular heartbeat, lightheadedness, or fainting.

Storage

Store the medication at room temperature (68-77°F or 20-25°C), away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
