How Sildenafil Citrate Works

Classified as a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor, Sildenafil Citrate works by targeting a specific enzyme in the body. Within the body, the PDE5 enzyme breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). cGMP is a chemical messenger responsible for relaxing the blood vessel walls. When PDE5 is active, blood flow to penile tissue is restricted.

Its action targets the PDE5 enzyme located within the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels in the penis. This inhibition raises cGMP levels. When cGMP levels rise, blood vessels relax. When sexual stimulation takes place, blood flow to the penis is improved.

Clinical Uses of Fildena CT 100

Fildena CT 100 is prescribed to adult males diagnosed with erectile dysfunction (ED). Men living with erectile dysfunction experience a persistent inability to gain or hold an erection of sufficient firmness for sexual activity to be satisfactory.

Sildenafil Citrate addresses ED arising from vascular causes (reduced blood flow) and psychogenic causes (psychological factors affecting erectile response).

Fildena CT 100 helps to ease the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. Fildena CT 100 addresses the symptoms of erectile dysfunction only. It does not modify or eliminate the root medical cause. It improves symptomatic erectile function during its active period.

How to Use Fildena CT 100

• Always follow your prescribing clinician’s instructions exactly. The information below serves as general guidance and does not replace clinical advice. Allow the chewable tablet to dissolve completely in the mouth prior to swallowing. Wait for it to dissolve fully on your tongue before you swallow.
• Ideally, take it between 30 and 60 minutes before sexual activity.
• Avoid a high-fat meal immediately before use, as this may delay absorption.

• This medicine must not be taken at the same time as any other PDE5 inhibitor. Take only one PDE5 inhibitor at a time.
