FILITRA PROFESSIONAL

In the search for a fast and reliable solution to erectile dysfunction, many men are turning to modern forms of medication. FILITRA PROFESSIONAL is a generic based on Vardenafil (20 mg) that stands out not only for its high efficacy but also for its innovative release form, ensuring an accelerated onset of action.

What is FILITRA PROFESSIONAL and its advantage?

FILITRA PROFESSIONAL is a medication containing 20 mg of Vardenafil in a sublingual (under the tongue) tablet form. Vardenafil is the same active ingredient found in "Levitra".

The main advantage of the "Professional" version is its method of absorption. The tablet dissolves under the tongue, and the active ingredient enters the bloodstream directly through the oral mucosa. This provides two key benefits:

1. Fast Onset: The effect begins much faster than with a standard pill – within 15-25 minutes.

2. Food Independence: Since absorption bypasses the stomach, the intake of high-fat foods has virtually no impact on the drug's speed and effectiveness.

Mechanism of action of Vardenafil (20 mg)

Vardenafil, the active component of FILITRA PROFESSIONAL, is a selective inhibitor of the PDE5 enzyme (phosphodiesterase type 5).

Physiologically, an erection occurs upon sexual stimulation when nitric oxide (NO) is released. Nitric oxide activates enzymes that lead to an increase in cGMP levels. cGMP relaxes the smooth muscles in the corpus cavernosum of the penis, causing a powerful inflow of blood.

The PDE5 enzyme breaks down this cGMP. Vardenafil blocks this enzyme, allowing cGMP to act longer and more powerfully. As a result, a firm and high-quality erection is achieved in response to sexual arousal.

Important: FILITRA PROFESSIONAL does not cause a spontaneous erection. Natural sexual stimulation is required for it to work.

Instructions for using FILITRA PROFESSIONAL

Following the instructions for the sublingual form is crucial to achieving the desired effect.

1. Method of Administration: Place one tablet of FILITRA PROFESSIONAL (20 mg) under your tongue.

2. Do Not Swallow: Keep the tablet under the tongue until it has completely dissolved. Do not chew or swallow it whole.

3. Do Not Drink Water: There is no need to wash the tablet down with water, as absorption must occur in the mouth.

4. Time of Intake: Take the medication 15-25 minutes before planned sexual activity.

5. Dosage: 20 mg is the maximum daily dose. Men trying Vardenafil for the first time, or elderly patients, are often advised to start with 10 mg (half a tablet).

Who is contraindicated for FILITRA PROFESSIONAL?

Before using this medication, you must review the list of strict contraindications:

• Nitrate Use: It is strictly forbidden to take FILITRA PROFESSIONAL concurrently with any nitric oxide donors or medical nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate). This can lead to a life-threatening drop in blood pressure.

• Severe Cardiovascular Diseases: A recent (within 6 months) heart attack or stroke, severe heart failure, or unstable angina.

• Severe Liver Impairment.

• Severe Kidney Impairment (requiring dialysis).

• Hypotension: Resting blood pressure below 90/50 mmHg.

• Hereditary Retinal Disorders (e.g., retinitis pigmentosa).

• Allergy to Vardenafil.

• Age under 18.

Possible side effects

Vardenafil (the active ingredient in FILITRA PROFESSIONAL) is generally well-tolerated and considered one of the "milder" PDE5 inhibitors.

Most common reactions:

• Headache.

• Facial flushing.

• Nasal congestion (rhinitis).

• Dyspepsia (indigestion).

Less common:

• Dizziness.

• Back pain.

• Vardenafil very rarely causes color vision disturbances, which favorably distinguishes it from Sildenafil.

If you experience an erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism), seek medical attention immediately.

Professional advice on using FILITRA PROFESSIONAL

1. Who is this for? FILITRA PROFESSIONAL is the ideal choice for men who value spontaneity. If you don't want to plan sex an hour in advance, the fast onset of 15-25 minutes is a key benefit.

2. Diabetic Patients: Studies show that Vardenafil demonstrates high efficacy in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

3. Alcohol: It is not recommended to combine FILITRA PROFESSIONAL with significant amounts of alcohol. Alcohol reduces erectile function and increases the risk of side effects like dizziness and low blood pressure.

FILITRA PROFESSIONAL: Answers to common questions

• How long does FILITRA PROFESSIONAL last? The effect of Vardenafil 20 mg lasts for an average of 4-6 hours. The onset is faster, but the duration of action is the same as a standard tablet.

• Is 20 mg of Vardenafil stronger than 100 mg of Sildenafil? They are different substances. 20 mg of Vardenafil (the maximum dose) is roughly equivalent in strength to 100 mg of Sildenafil, but many patients report a better tolerability profile (fewer side effects) with Vardenafil.

• Can I split a FILITRA PROFESSIONAL tablet? Yes. If 10 mg is sufficient for you, the sublingual tablet can be carefully split in half.
