Fildena 150 mg contains sildenafil citrate, a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction by relaxing blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the penis. However, it has a significant interaction with nitrates, which are drugs commonly prescribed for chest pain (angina) and other heart conditions.
When Fildena 150 mg is taken together with nitrates, it can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Both sildenafil and nitrates work by dilating blood vessels, so their combined effect can lead to severe hypotension (low blood pressure). This sudden and significant blood pressure drop may result in dizziness, fainting, heart attack, or even stroke.
Because of this risk, it is strongly advised never to use Fildena 150 mg if you are currently taking any form of nitrate medication, including nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, or isosorbide mononitrate. If you are prescribed nitrates and experience erectile dysfunction, you should speak to your doctor for alternative treatments that are safer for your condition.
In summary, the interaction between Fildena 150 mg and nitrates is potentially life-threatening, and their concurrent use is contraindicated. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking before starting Fildena.
