Sildenafil belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. Sildenafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction, more commonly known as impotence, in men. This is when a man cannot get, or keep, a hard erect penis suitable for sexual activity. Sildenafil works by relaxing the blood vessels in your penis when you are sexually excited. This allows blood to flow into your penis, allowing you to get an erection in the natural way. Sildenafil will only work if you are sexually excited. It will not increase your sex drive. Sildenafil is not for use in women. This medicine is available only with a doctor’s prescription.

Sildenafil is not indicated for use by women. 4.2 DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Sildenafil tablets are for oral administration. USE IN ADULTS The recommended dose is 50 mg taken as needed approximately one hour before sexual activity.

USE IN CHILDREN Sildenafil is not indicated for use in children. DOSAGE ADJUSTMENT IN RENAL IMPAIRMENT The dosing recommendations for “USE IN ADULTS” should be followed for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (Cl cr = 30 to 80 mL/min). Since sildenafil clearance is reduced in patients with severe renal impairment (Cl cr <30 mL/min) a 25 mg starting dose should be considered. Based on efficacy and toleration, the dose may be increased to 50 mg and 100 mg. DOSAGE ADJUSTMENT IN HEPATIC IMPAIRMENT Sin Read the complete document
