Filitra (Vardenafil) Buyer and Patient Handbook in South Africa

Filitra - Overview

Filitra (Vardenafil) is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor used to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It belongs to the oral erectile-function class and is approved by both the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) and the US FDA. The medication is supplied as a film-coated pill that can be taken as needed before sexual activity.

Who Is Filitra Intended For?

• Men aged 18 years and older with a clinical diagnosis of erectile dysfunction.
• Individuals who can achieve sexual stimulation naturally (the drug does not create an erection without it).
• Patients with stable cardiovascular status who have been cleared for sexual activity.

How Does Filitra Work?

Filitra contains vardenafil, which blocks the PDE-5 enzyme that normally breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the penis. By preserving cGMP, blood vessels relax, allowing increased blood flow to produce and maintain an erection when sexual arousal occurs. Think of it as removing the brake on the “traffic” that supplies blood to the penile tissue, while the “engine” (sexual stimulation) still needs to be turned on.

Why Choose Filitra?

• Rapid onset: Effects can be felt within 30 minutes for many users.
• Flexible dosing: Available in 10 mg, 20 mg and 40 mg strengths to match individual response.
• Verified quality: Manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards; generic alternatives contain the same active molecule at lower cost.

(Off-label uses such as treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension should only be considered after professional medical advice.)

Dosage, Administration, Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations

Recommended Dosage

• Starting dose: 10 mg taken about one hour before sexual activity.
• Usual dose: 20 mg or 40 mg taken no more than once daily, based on efficacy and tolerability.

How to Take

1. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
2. Take it with or without food; a high-fat meal may delay the onset by up to 1 hour.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take Filitra before planned activity, take it as soon as you remember provided at least 12 hours have passed since the last dose. Do not double-dose.

Overdose

Seek emergency medical help if you experience sudden chest Pain, fainting, severe headache, or vision changes.

Special Populations

• Elderly (≥ 65 years): Start with 10 mg; monitor blood pressure closely.
• Renal impairment: Dose may need reduction; consult a health professional.
• Hepatic impairment: Use the lowest effective dose; avoid if severe liver disease is present.

Lifestyle & Diet

• Avoid grapefruit juice within 24 hours, as it can increase vardenafil levels.
• Limit alcohol intake; excessive drinking may reduce effectiveness and increase side-effects.
• Do not use with nitrate medications (e.g., nitroglycerin) - this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

Precautions and Warnings

• Use only if you can achieve an erection without medication.
• Do not combine with other PDE-5 inhibitors or recreational drugs such as poppers.
• Patients with uncontrolled hypertension, recent Heart Attack, severe cardiovascular disease, or retinitis pigmentosa should avoid Filitra.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Filistra stay effective?

Filistra’s effects typically last 4-6 hours after ingestion, though individual response may vary.

Can I take Filistra with alcohol?

A moderate amount of alcohol usually does not interfere, but excessive drinking can diminish efficacy and increase the chance of side-effects like dizziness.

Will Filistra cure my erectile dysfunction permanently?

No. Filistra facilitates erections when sexual stimulation occurs but does not treat the underlying cause of ED.

Is it safe to use Filistra if I have diabetes?

Yes, many men with Diabetes use Filistra safely, but blood-sugar control and Cardiovascular Health should be monitored.

What should I do if I experience a painful erection lasting more than 4 hours?

Treat it as a medical emergency; seek immediate care to prevent permanent tissue damage.

Can I take Filistra more than once a day?

No. The maximum recommended frequency is once every 24 hours.

Does smoking affect Filistra’s performance?

Smoking can impair blood flow and may reduce the drug’s effectiveness; quitting is advisable for overall sexual health.

Will taking a higher dose guarantee a stronger erection?

Increasing the dose beyond what your doctor recommends does not guarantee better results and raises the risk of side-effects.

Is Filistra safe for men over 70?

Older men can use Filistra, but they should start with the lowest dose (10 mg) and discuss any cardiovascular concerns with a health professional.

Does grapefruit juice interact with Filistra?

Yes; grapefruit can increase vardenafil concentration, potentially leading to stronger side-effects. Avoid it for at least 24 hours after dosing.
