When Should Fildena 120 Mg Be Avoided By Those Taking Other ED Medications?

Fildena 120 mg, containing sildenafil citrate, should be avoided when taken in combination with other erectile dysfunction (ED) medications or certain conditions due to potential serious side effects.

When Taking Other ED Medications:

Avoid combining Fildena 120 mg with other ED medications that contain PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra (sildenafil), Cialis (tadalafil), or Levitra (vardenafil). Using two PDE5 inhibitors together can lead to:

Severe hypotension (a dangerous drop in blood pressure), causing dizziness, fainting, or even a heart attack.

Priapism, a painful, prolonged erection that requires emergency treatment.

Overload on the cardiovascular system, increasing the risk of heart complications.

With Nitrates (for Heart Conditions):

Do not take Fildena 120 mg if you are on nitrate medications like nitroglycerin or isosorbide dinitrate, commonly used for chest pain. Combining sildenafil with nitrates can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure, resulting in dizziness, fainting, or even a heart attack.

In Case of Severe Heart, Liver, or Kidney Conditions:

Individuals with severe heart disease, recent heart attack, stroke, or severe liver or kidney conditions should avoid Fildena 120 mg. The medication may exacerbate underlying issues, leading to serious complications.

If You Are Taking Certain Medications:

Alpha-blockers (used for high blood pressure or prostate conditions) can interact with Fildena, potentially causing low blood pressure.

Always consult a healthcare provider before taking Fildena 120 mg, particularly if you're using other ED medications or have underlying health conditions.
