SILDISOFT 50

The treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) begins with selecting the correct, safe, and convenient dosage. SILDISOFT 50 is a generic containing 50 mg of Sildenafil Citrate in a soft chewable tablet form. This dosage is the "gold standard" for initiating therapy, and the soft form ensures faster absorption and comfortable intake.

What is SILDISOFT 50?

SILDISOFT 50 is an oral medication containing 50 mg of Sildenafil. Its distinguishing feature is the chewable tablet form.

1. Indication and starting dose

The 50 mg Sildenafil dose is the standard initial dose recommended by doctors for most men starting ED treatment for the first time. SILDISOFT 50 is ideally suited for:

• New users: To assess the drug's efficacy and tolerability.

• Moderate ED: When 50 mg is sufficient to achieve a firm erection.

• Minimizing side effects: At this dose, the risk of headaches and other adverse reactions is significantly lower than with 100 mg.

2. Advantages of the chewable form

The chewable (soft) form allows Sildenafil to begin absorbing directly in the oral cavity, which provides a key advantage in speed:

• Fast Start: The effect can begin in as little as 20–30 minutes after chewing, which is faster than a regular tablet.

• Convenience: The tablet does not need to be washed down with water, ensuring discretion and ease of intake.

Detailed mechanism of action of SILDISOFT 50

The mechanism of action of SILDISOFT 50 is based on Sildenafil being an inhibitor of the PDE5 enzyme.

1. Trigger: Sexual arousal causes the release of nitric oxide (NO).

2. Vascular Response: NO stimulates the formation of cyclic GMP (cGMP), which relaxes the smooth muscles of the penile blood vessels.

3. Enhancement: Sildenafil 50 mg blocks the PDE5 enzyme that degrades cGMP. This prolongs the action of cGMP, manifold enhancing the natural blood flow and ensuring a sustained erection in response to stimulation.

Key takeaway: SILDISOFT 50 works as an enhancer of the natural response. Without sexual arousal, an erection will not occur.

Instructions for using SILDISOFT 50

To achieve the best results and ensure safety, follow these rules.

1. Dosage and method of intake

• Dosage: 50 mg (one chewable tablet) is the standard single dose.

• Dose Increase: If 50 mg is well-tolerated but the effect is insufficient, the dose can be increased to 100 mg (two tablets) after consulting a doctor. The maximum daily dose is 100 mg.

• Method: The tablet should be thoroughly chewed or dissolved under the tongue. Do not swallow it whole.

• Timing: Take 20-30 minutes before planned sexual activity.

2. Influence of food and alcohol

• Food: Despite the chewable form, taking SILDISOFT 50 with a very high-fat meal can reduce the speed of absorption of the remaining portion of the drug in the stomach. For the fastest effect, take it on an empty stomach.

• Alcohol: It is not recommended to combine Sildenafil intake with alcohol, as this enhances the vasodilating effect and increases the risk of side effects related to dropping blood pressure.

Critical contraindications for SILDISOFT 50

The list of contraindications must be reviewed with a doctor.

• Interaction with Nitrates: Absolutely forbidden to take SILDISOFT 50 with any form of organic nitrates (Nitroglycerin) or nitric oxide donors ("poppers"). This combination causes a life-threatening drop in blood pressure.

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

• Blood Pressure: Persistent hypotension (pressure < 90/50 mmHg).

• Severe Liver or Kidney Disease.

• Eyes: Hereditary degenerative retinal diseases (retinitis pigmentosa).

Side effects of SILDISOFT 50 (Low Risk)

The 50 mg dosage has a good safety profile, and side effects occur less frequently than at 100 mg.

• Common: Headache (the most frequent effect), facial flushing, nasal congestion.

• Less Common: Dyspepsia (indigestion), mild visual disturbance (change in color perception), dizziness.

Immediate medical attention is required for: An erection that lasts longer than 4 hours (priapism), or sudden loss of vision/hearing.

Professional advice on using SILDISOFT 50

1. "Gold Standard" for Starting: SILDISOFT 50 is the most sensible way to begin treatment. If this dose is effective, there is no need to switch to 100 mg and expose the body to a higher risk of side effects.

2. Spontaneity: The chewable form is ideal for enhancing spontaneity, as it does not require water and acts faster than regular tablets.

3. Flexibility: If necessary, the tablet can be split into two 25 mg portions, which is the minimum therapeutic dose for very sensitive or elderly patients.

SILDISOFT 50: Extended Q&A section

• How much faster is SILDISOFT 50 than a regular Sildenafil tablet? The effect can start 15-30 minutes faster, thanks to partial absorption through the oral mucosa.

• How long does SILDISOFT 50 last? The effect of 50 mg Sildenafil lasts for an average of 4-6 hours.

• Can SILDISOFT 50 be taken daily? No. Sildenafil is intended for "on-demand" use, no more than once every 24 hours. Low-dose Tadalafil is used for daily therapy.

• Why must I chew the tablet? Chewing or dissolving is necessary to activate fast absorption through the oral cavity, which is the main advantage of this form. If swallowed whole, the drug will work slower.
