Eriacta (Sildenafil) Detailed Information

The active ingredient in Eriacta is **Sildenafil Citrate**. It works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, which helps maintain higher levels of cGMP in the penis, leading to prolonged and improved erectile function. Inactive ingredients may include lactose, magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, and microcrystalline cellulose.

Common side effects of Eriacta include:

• Headache
• Flushing (warmth, redness, or tingling sensation)
• Indigestion or upset stomach
• Nasal congestion
• Dizziness or lightheadedness

Less common but serious side effects include:

• Severe drop in blood pressure
• Chest pain or tightness
• Vision disturbances, such as blurred vision or color changes
• Hearing loss or ringing in the ears
• Irregular heartbeat or palpitations
• Severe allergic reactions, including swelling of the face, lips, or throat

If you experience prolonged or painful erections lasting more than 4 hours (priapism), seek immediate medical attention, as this can cause permanent damage.

Eriacta is typically taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but high-fat meals may delay its effectiveness. The recommended starting dose is **50 mg**, but it may be adjusted based on individual response and tolerance, with a maximum recommended dose of **100 mg per day**. Avoid taking more than one dose in 24 hours.

Eriacta can interact with other medications, potentially leading to adverse effects. Avoid combining it with:

• Nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin): May cause a severe drop in blood pressure.
• Alpha-blockers (e.g., doxazosin): Can lead to excessive blood pressure reduction.
• Antifungal medications (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole): May increase Eriacta’s effects, leading to higher risks of side effects.
• Other ED medications (e.g., Tadalafil, Vardenafil): Should not be combined with Eriacta.
• Alcohol and grapefruit juice: Can enhance side effects and reduce efficacy.

Consult your healthcare provider before taking Eriacta with any other medications or supplements.

Eriacta typically starts working within **30-60 minutes** and remains effective for **4-6 hours**. However, individual response times may vary. Sexual stimulation is required for the medication to work effectively.

If you experience severe side effects, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms requiring urgent care include:

• Severe dizziness or fainting
• Chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or difficulty breathing
• Sudden vision or hearing loss
• Severe allergic reactions, including swelling of the face, lips, or throat
• Priapism (prolonged and painful erection lasting more than 4 hours)

Ignoring these symptoms may lead to severe complications, so do not delay seeking help.
