Common Use

Sildenafil is the primary active ingredient in Vigora. It works by improving the body's response to sexual stimulation. This is achieved through the enhancement of smooth muscle relaxation using nitric oxide, a chemical naturally released during sexual arousal. This relaxation allows increased 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 conditions not listed here.

Dosage and Direction

Vigora should be taken approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity. It should not be taken more than once a day. Consuming a high-fat meal may delay the drug's effectiveness. Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice while using Sildenafil.

Precautions

Before starting Sildenafil, inform your doctor or pharmacist of any allergies or other medical conditions. Older individuals may experience heightened sensitivity to the drug's side effects.

Contraindications

Vigora is contraindicated for patients taking other medications for impotence or using nitrate drugs for chest pain or heart problems. 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. Many users do not experience severe side effects. If you notice any unlisted side effects, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Drug Interaction

Sildenafil should not be used with nitrates, recreational drugs like "poppers" containing amyl or butyl nitrite, alpha-blockers, other impotence medications, or high blood pressure medicines. Consult your healthcare provider for further details.

Missed Dose

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

In case of overdose, seek emergency medical attention immediately. 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 it in the bathroom. Keep all medications out of reach of children and pets.
