Silnafil Tablet
Description
Silnafil Tablet is a prescription medicine used in adult men to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence). It helps improve blood flow to the male genital organ, which aids in achieving and maintaining an erection during sexual arousal. By improving blood circulation, Silnafil helps men regain confidence and enhance sexual performance.
The active ingredient in Silnafil Tablet is sildenafil, which belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Sildenafil works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing more blood to flow in during sexual stimulation. It only works when a man is sexually aroused and does not cause an automatic erection.
Silnafil Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, usually about 30–60 minutes before sexual activity. Avoid taking more than one dose within a 24-hour period. Consistent timing helps maintain effectiveness while reducing the risk of side effects.
Common side effects of Silnafil Tablet may include headache, dizziness, flushing, upset stomach, nasal congestion, or changes in vision. These effects are usually mild and temporary. If you experience severe chest pain, sudden vision loss, or an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical attention.
Before starting Silnafil Tablet, inform your doctor about any heart, liver, kidney, or blood pressure conditions. Avoid combining it with other erectile dysfunction medicines or nitrates used for chest pain, as this can cause serious complications. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing alcohol intake, and avoiding smoking can also enhance the effectiveness of Silnafil Tablet.
