Sildigra Softgel represents a significant advancement in the oral pharmacotherapy of erectile dysfunction (ED), offering a patient-centric formulation designed for enhanced efficacy and tolerability. This medication utilizes Sildenafil Citrate, a potent and selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), in a unique softgel delivery system. The softgel capsule is engineered for rapid disintegration and absorption, facilitating a quicker onset of action and potentially improved bioavailability compared to traditional tablet forms. It is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction to enable improved erectile function and successful sexual intercourse. This expert guide provides a comprehensive overview of its pharmacological profile, appropriate use, and essential safety information for healthcare professionals and informed patients.
Features
- Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient: Sildenafil Citrate (typically 25mg, 50mg, or 100mg strengths).
- Pharmaceutical Form: Oral softgel capsule.
- Mechanism of Action: Highly selective inhibition of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5).
- Pharmacokinetics: Rapid disintegration and absorption profile; time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) may be reduced compared to film-coated tablets.
- Excipients: Contains solubilizers and absorption enhancers specific to the softgel formulation (e.g., polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol).
- Packaging: Blister packs (ALU/ALU) to protect from moisture and light, ensuring stability.
Benefits
- Rapid Onset of Action: The softgel formulation is designed for quicker dissolution and absorption, which may lead to a faster onset of therapeutic effect compared to standard tablets, often within 30-45 minutes under appropriate conditions.
- Enhanced Bioavailability: The lipid-based delivery system can improve the solubility of Sildenafil Citrate, potentially leading to more consistent and reliable plasma concentration levels and therapeutic outcomes.
- Improved Erectile Function: By effectively inhibiting PDE5, it enhances the natural erectile response to sexual stimulation, facilitating the achievement and maintenance of an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity.
- Increased Patient Confidence: Successful treatment of ED can significantly improve self-esteem, reduce anxiety related to sexual performance, and enhance overall quality of life and intimate relationships.
- Convenient and Discreet Administration: The oral softgel is easy to swallow and does not require water for dissolution, offering a discreet and patient-friendly administration option.
Common use
Sildigra Softgel is prescribed for the management of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult males. Erectile dysfunction is defined as the consistent or recurrent inability to achieve and/or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. Its use is predicated on the presence of sexual stimulation. It is not an aphrodisiac and does not increase libido. It is used on an as-needed basis to support erectile function for a single episode of sexual activity.
Dosage and direction
- Standard Dosage: The recommended starting dose for most patients is 50 mg taken approximately 30-60 minutes prior to anticipated sexual activity.
- Dose Titration: Based on efficacy and tolerability, the dose may be increased to a maximum recommended dose of 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg.
- Dosing Frequency: The administration of Sildigra Softgel should be limited to a maximum of one dose per 24-hour period.
- Administration: The softgel can be taken with or without food. However, consumption with a high-fat meal may delay the time to onset of effect by reducing the rate of absorption.
- Considerations: Dose adjustment to a lower starting dose (25 mg) is recommended for patients with hepatic impairment, severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min), and for patients taking certain concomitant medications (e.g., potent CYP3A4 inhibitors like ritonavir, ketoconazole, itraconazole).
Precautions
- Cardiovascular Status: Patients should have a cardiovascular evaluation prior to initiating any treatment for ED. Sexual activity carries a potential cardiac risk. Sildigra Softgel is not recommended for use in men for whom sexual activity is inadvisable due to their underlying cardiovascular status.
- Priapism: Prolonged erections lasting more than 4 hours and priapism (a painful erection lasting more than 6 hours) have been reported infrequently. If an erection persists beyond 4 hours, the patient should seek immediate medical attention to avoid potential long-term penile tissue damage and permanent loss of potency.
- Effects on the Eye: Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) has been reported post-marketing in temporal association with PDE5 inhibitor use. Patients who have experienced NAION in one eye are at an increased risk of NAION in the other eye.
- Hearing Impairment: Sudden decrease or loss of hearing has been reported in temporal association with PDE5 inhibitor use. Patients should seek prompt medical attention in the event of sudden hearing loss.
- Use with Other ED Therapies: The safety and efficacy of combinations of Sildigra Softgel with other treatments for erectile dysfunction have not been studied. Therefore, the use of such combinations is not recommended.
Contraindications
- Concomitant Organic Nitrates: Concomitant administration with any form of organic nitrate (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate or dinitrate) or nitric oxide donors in any form is strictly contraindicated. This combination can lead to a profound and potentially life-threatening drop in blood pressure.
- Concomitant Guanylate Cyclase (GC) Stimulators: Concomitant use with riociguat (a guanylate cyclase stimulator) is contraindicated as it may potentiate hypotensive effects.
- Hypersensitivity: Known hypersensitivity to Sildenafil Citrate or any of the excipients in the Sildigra Softgel formulation.
- Severe Cardiovascular Disorders: Its use is generally considered contraindicated in men for whom sexual activity is not advised due to underlying cardiovascular disease (e.g., unstable angina, severe heart failure, recent myocardial infarction, life-threatening arrhythmias).
Possible side effect
Sildigra Softgel is generally well-tolerated, with side effects typically being mild to moderate and transient. Common adverse reactions are largely related to its vasodilatory properties and PDE5 inhibition.
- Very Common (≥1/10): Headache, flushing.
- Common (≥1/100 to <1/10): Dyspepsia, nasal congestion, dizziness, visual disturbances (including blurred vision, cyanopsia [blue tinge to vision], and increased light perception).
- Uncommon (≥1/1,000 to <1/100): Hypotension, tachycardia, palpitations, syncope, vomiting, rash, hematuria, back pain, myalgia.
- Rare (≥1/10,000 to <1/1,000): Priapism, NAION, sudden hearing loss, hypersensitivity reactions.
Drug interaction
- Nitrates: Absolute contraindication. Concomitant use can cause severe hypotension, syncope, myocardial infarction, or stroke.
- Potent CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Drugs such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, atazanavir, clarithromycin, and grapefruit juice can significantly increase Sildenafil plasma concentrations. A maximum dose of 25 mg within a 48-hour period is recommended.
- Alpha-adrenergic Blocking Agents: Concomitant use with alpha-blockers (e.g., doxazosin, tamsulosin) can potentiate the blood-pressure-lowering effects. Dose adjustment and careful titration of both medications may be required. Sildenafil should not be taken within 4 hours of an alpha-blocker.
- Other Antihypertensives: Additive hypotensive effects may occur when taken with other antihypertensive medications.
- Alcohol: Excessive alcohol consumption (≥5 units) in combination with Sildigra may increase the potential for orthostatic signs and symptoms, including increased heart rate, decreased standing blood pressure, dizziness, and headache.
Missed dose
Sildigra Softgel is not intended for chronic daily dosing and is taken on an as-needed basis. Therefore, the concept of a “missed dose” does not apply. Do not take an extra dose to make up for a missed opportunity for sexual activity. Adhere to the maximum dosing frequency of once per 24 hours.
Overdose
In cases of overdose, the expected clinical manifestations would be an extension of the drug’s known vasodilatory effects.
- Symptoms: Severe hypotension, syncope, prolonged and potentially dangerous erection, vertigo, palpitations.
- Management: Standard supportive measures should be adopted. This includes placing the patient in the supine position with the legs elevated to manage hypotension. Hemodialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance as Sildenafil is highly protein-bound and extensively metabolized. Management of priapism should involve immediate urological consultation; intervention may include corporal aspiration and irrigation.
Storage
- Store below 30°C (86°F).
- Keep the blister strips in the original package to protect from light and moisture.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Do not use after the expiration date printed on the packaging.
