Generic Filitra Professional

Common use

Filitra Professional is an advanced formulation of Vardenafil, designed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It helps increase blood flow to the penis, enabling a strong and lasting erection when sexually aroused. Unlike standard tablets, this version is made for sublingual use (dissolves under the tongue), allowing for faster absorption and quicker results. It’s ideal for men seeking reliable performance with a rapid onset of action.

Dosage and direction

The typical dose is 10 mg, placed under the tongue about 15–30 minutes before sexual activity. It dissolves quickly without the need for water and can be taken with or without food. Avoid consuming fatty meals or alcohol before use, as they may reduce effectiveness. Do not exceed one dose in 24 hours.

Precautions

Use Filitra Professional only if prescribed by a healthcare provider, especially if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, liver/kidney disorders, or a history of stroke. This medication is for adult men only and should not be used by women or minors. Avoid alcohol, grapefruit, or recreational drugs, which may interact negatively with Vardenafil. Sexual activity itself can pose a risk for some individuals with heart conditions — consult your doctor if unsure.

Contraindications

Filitra Professional should not be used with nitrates, nitric oxide donors, or pulmonary hypertension medications like riociguat, due to the risk of severe hypotension. It's also contraindicated in men with known allergies to Vardenafil or recent cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke. People with retinal disorders or severe liver impairment should avoid using it. Always consult your doctor before beginning treatment.

Possible side effect

Common side effects may include headache, flushing, stuffy nose, dizziness, and indigestion. Some men may experience temporary visual disturbances such as color changes or sensitivity to light. In rare cases, it may cause chest pain, fainting, prolonged erection (priapism), or sudden loss of vision or hearing. Seek immediate medical help if you experience any severe or unusual symptoms.

Drug interaction

Filitra Professional can interact with several drugs, including nitrates, alpha-blockers, antifungal agents, HIV protease inhibitors, and certain antibiotics. Combining it with other ED treatments or alcohol increases the risk of side effects. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you are taking. Do not use with recreational substances or poppers.

Missed dose

As Filitra Professional is used on-demand, missing a dose is not usually a concern. Take it only before planned sexual activity. Never take more than one dose in 24 hours. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed use.

Overdose

Symptoms of overdose may include chest pain, irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, nausea, or prolonged erection. In case of overdose, seek immediate medical attention. Overdosing does not enhance effectiveness and may cause serious health risks. Always follow the prescribed dosage and avoid taking multiple tablets.

Storage

Store Filitra Professional at room temperature (20–25°C or 68–77°F) in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until use. Ensure it is kept out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the medicine past its expiration date.
