When should Malegra FXT be taken for maximum response?

Malegra FXT you mean the combination product commonly marketed with sildenafil plus fluoxetine, timing should be based on the exact formulation and your prescriber’s instructions. For the sildenafil component, the usual Malegra FXT timing is about 1 hour before sexual activity; it can generally be taken 30 minutes to 4 hours beforehand. A high-fat meal may delay sildenafil’s onset. A few important points: Take it only as prescribed, because the fluoxetine component changes the safety and dosing considerations. Do not take more than once in 24 hours unless your clinician specifically directs otherwise. Sexual stimulation is still required for sildenafil to produce an erection. Do not combine sildenafil with nitrate medicines because of the risk of a dangerous blood-pressure drop. Because fluoxetine is an SSRI, Malegra FXT should not be treated like ordinary sildenafil; discuss other antidepressants, serotonergic medicines, and your medical history with your prescriber. If you tell me the strength of Malegra FXT (for example, 100/60 mg), I can explain the expected timing and duration more specifically.
