Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and recreational drugs, before starting Fildena 100mg. This is crucial for safe use. Certain medications can interact negatively with Fildena, potentially leading to dangerous side effects.
Nitrates and Fildena 100mg
Combining Fildena 100mg with nitrates (found in medications for chest pain) can cause a drastic drop in blood pressure, potentially leading to fainting or even a heart attack. Avoid using Fildena if you are taking nitrates.
Alpha-blockers and Fildena 100mg
Concurrent use of alpha-blockers (used to treat high blood pressure or an enlarged prostate) and Fildena can significantly lower blood pressure. Your doctor should carefully monitor you if you are taking both.
CYP3A4 Inhibitors and Fildena 100mg
Medications that inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme (like ketoconazole or ritonavir) can increase Fildena’s levels in your blood, raising the risk of side effects. Your doctor may need to adjust your Fildena dosage.
Alcohol consumption can intensify Fildena’s side effects, including dizziness and headache. Moderate your alcohol intake while using Fildena 100mg. Grapefruit juice also interacts with Fildena’s metabolism, increasing its concentration in the blood. Avoid grapefruit juice while on this medication.
