Filitra (Vardenafil) Buyer and Patient Handbook in Singapore

What is Filitra?

Filitra is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor tablet used to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED). It belongs to the class of oral agents that improve blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. Filitra is approved by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) in Singapore and is available as 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg tablets.

Who Should Use Filitra?

• Men aged 18 years and older experiencing consistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection.
• Individuals whose ED is not caused by hormonal deficiency (e.g., low testosterone) or severe psychological disorders.
• Patients whose cardiovascular status permits sexual activity (see precautions).

How Does It Work?

Filitra contains vardenafil, which blocks the enzyme PDE-5 that normally degrades cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). When sexual arousal occurs, nitric oxide released in the penis stimulates cGMP production; higher cGMP levels relax smooth muscle, allowing blood to fill the corpora cavernosa and produce an erection. Think of it like unblocking a traffic jam so blood can flow freely.

Why Choose Filitra?

• Rapid onset: effects can be felt within 30 minutes, allowing more spontaneity.
• Flexible dosing: 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg options let you tailor the strength to your response.
• Brand consistency: manufactured to strict HSA standards, with proven bioequivalence to generic vardenafil.

Off-label uses (e.g., Pulmonary Hypertension) should only be considered under professional guidance.

Dosage, Administration, Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations

Recommended Dosage

• Start with 10 mg taken as needed, about 30 minutes before sexual activity.
• If the response is inadequate and tolerated, the dose may be increased to 20 mg.
• The maximum recommended dose is 40 mg; do not exceed one tablet per day.

How to Take

1. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
2. Take it with or without food; a high-fat meal may delay onset by up to 2 hours.

Missed Dose

Filitra is taken only when needed. If you forget a dose and still plan sexual activity within the next 24 hours, take it now; otherwise, skip it.

Overdose

If more than one tablet is taken, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms may include headache, flushing, low blood pressure, or prolonged erection.

Special Populations

• Elderly (≥ 65 years): start with 10 mg; monitor blood pressure.
• Renal or hepatic impairment: dose adjustment may be required; consult a clinician.
• Children and adolescents: not indicated.

Lifestyle & Diet

• Avoid grapefruit juice within 24 hours, as it can increase vardenafil levels.
• Limit alcohol to moderate amounts; excessive drinking may reduce effectiveness and increase side-effects.

Precautions and Warnings

• Do not use if you are taking nitrates (e.g., for chest Pain) or nitric-oxide donors.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Filitra stay effective?

Filitra’s effects typically last 4-5 hours, allowing flexibility for sexual activity within that window.

Can I take Filitra with alcohol?

Moderate alcohol (≤ 1-2 drinks) is generally safe, but heavy drinking can lower the drug’s effectiveness and increase side-effects.

What should I do if I experience a headache?

Headaches are common and usually mild. Hydration and over-the-counter analgesics (e.g., paracetamol) can help; if persistent, discuss dose adjustment with a clinician.

Is it safe to use Filitra if I have high blood pressure?

Controlled hypertension is not a contraindication, but you should be on stable medication and monitor any dizziness or chest discomfort.

Can I use Filitra more than once a day?

No. The maximum frequency is once per 24 hours to avoid accumulation and increased risk of adverse effects.

Does food affect Filitra’s action?

A high-fat meal may delay the onset of action by up to 2 hours; otherwise, food has minimal impact.

Will Filitra improve my libido?

Filitra enhances the physiological response to sexual stimulation but does not increase sexual desire itself.

What if the tablet does not work for me?

If you experience no improvement after trying the recommended dose, consult a clinician to evaluate dosage, timing, or alternative therapies.

Are there any herbal products that interact with Filitra?

Yes. St. John’s Wort induces CYP3A4 and may reduce Filitra’s effectiveness; avoid concurrent use.

Is Filitra safe for men with diabetes?

Men with Diabetes can use Filitra, but they should ensure good glycemic control and be aware of possible lower response rates.
