ZUDENA 100

In the therapy of erectile dysfunction (ED), men often seek a balance between a rapid onset of action and an extended duration of effect. ZUDENA 100 is a medication containing 100 mg of Udenafil, an active substance that ensures readiness for sexual activity for up to 24 hours. This dosage is the standard therapeutic dose and provides a reliable, long-lasting effect.

What is ZUDENA 100?

ZUDENA 100 is a generic containing 100 mg of Udenafil. Udenafil is a third-generation PDE5 inhibitor and is known for its unique action profile.

1. Key advantages of Udenafil (100 mg)

ZUDENA 100 combines the best characteristics of other PDE5 inhibitors:

• Long Duration: The duration of effect reaches 24 hours, allowing users to avoid being tied to a strict intake schedule and preserving spontaneity.

• Rapid Start: Action begins relatively quickly, often within 30–60 minutes.

• Food Independence: Udenafil is minimally affected by fatty foods, unlike Sildenafil.

• Reduced Risk: The 100 mg Udenafil dose carries a lower risk of side effects than the maximum dose (200 mg).

2. Target Audience

ZUDENA 100 is suitable for most men with moderate to severe ED who value not only the strength of the erection but also its prolonged "window" of action.

Detailed mechanism of action of ZUDENA 100

The mechanism of action of ZUDENA 100 is based on the highly selective inhibition of the PDE5 enzyme.

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

2. Erectile Cycle: NO stimulates the formation of cyclic GMP (cGMP). cGMP relaxes the smooth muscles of the penile blood vessels, ensuring blood flow.

3. PDE5 Blockade: Udenafil 100 mg blocks the enzyme that degrades cGMP. Blocking this enzyme allows cGMP to persist longer in the tissues, enhancing the natural blood flow and ensuring a stable erection in response to stimulation for up to 24 hours.

Key takeaway: ZUDENA 100 provides a prolonged "window" of readiness, but sexual arousal is always required to achieve an erection.

Instructions for using ZUDENA 100

Strict adherence to the instructions is necessary, considering the drug's long duration of action.

1. Dosage and timing of intake

• Dosage: 100 mg (one tablet) – is the standard single dose.

• Frequency of Intake: Due to its long duration of action (up to 24 hours), ZUDENA 100 should be taken no more than once per day.

• Dose Increase: If the 100 mg effect is insufficient and there are no side effects, the dose can be increased to 200 mg (two ZUDENA 100 tablets) after consulting a doctor.

• Method: Swallow the tablet whole with water.

• Timing: Take 30–60 minutes before planned sexual activity.

2. Influence of food and alcohol

• Food: ZUDENA 100 can be taken regardless of food intake.

• Alcohol: It is not recommended to combine ZUDENA 100 with excessive amounts of alcohol. Due to the long action of Udenafil, combining it with alcohol may increase the risk of dropping blood pressure and dizziness.

Critical contraindications for ZUDENA 100

Contraindications related to the vasodilatory effect are strict.

• Interaction with Nitrates: Absolutely forbidden! Taking ZUDENA 100 with any form of organic nitrates (Nitroglycerin) or nitric oxide donors ("poppers") causes a life-threatening drop in blood pressure.

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

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

• Liver and Kidneys: Severe hepatic or renal failure.

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

Side effects of ZUDENA 100

Udenafil at the 100 mg dose is generally well-tolerated and carries a lower risk of side effects than the maximum 200 mg dose.

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

• Less Common: Dyspepsia (indigestion), dizziness.

• Specific: Udenafil has a low risk of color vision disturbances.

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 ZUDENA 100

1. Duration is the key factor: ZUDENA 100 is ideal for those who do not want to plan intercourse by the hour. The duration of action up to 24 hours ensures maximum flexibility and spontaneity.

2. Dosing Flexibility: The ZUDENA 100 tablet can be split in half to obtain a 50 mg dose, which can be effective for many men, especially the elderly.

3. Alternative to Tadalafil: ZUDENA 100 is a good alternative to Tadalafil (36 hours) if you need a prolonged effect but do not want it to last more than a day.

ZUDENA 100: Extended Q&A section

• How does ZUDENA 100 differ from Sildenafil 100 mg? The Sildenafil 100 mg dose lasts 4–6 hours. ZUDENA 100 lasts up to 24 hours. Udenafil is also less food-dependent.

• Can ZUDENA 100 be taken daily? No. The drug is intended for "on-demand" use. Low-dose Tadalafil (5 mg) is typically used for daily therapy.

• What should I do if ZUDENA 100 didn't work? Ensure you took the drug 30–60 minutes prior and that there was sufficient sexual stimulation. If the effect is insufficient, consider increasing the dose to 200 mg after consulting a doctor.

• Does ZUDENA 100 cause back pain like Tadalafil? Udenafil (ZUDENA) causes back pain and myalgia (muscle pain) significantly less frequently than Tadalafil.
