Filagra 100mg is a prescription-only, short-term treatment for erectile dysfunction or impotence in men that has sildenafil 100mg as its active ingredient. The medication is available in tablet and convenient oral jelly forms, making it a different offering than conventional ED pills. The jelly form is simple to administer for those with difficulty swallowing the whole tablet. It improves the blood flow, a lack of which is the primary cause for not getting an erection, in the male reproductive organ to get a robust and long-lasting, sustainable erection for those who cannot attain or maintain an erection during sexual activity. Filagra 100mg is a fast-acting medication as its quicker onset gets a fast erection, and its long-lasting effect helps maintain the erection. It has a delicious flavor, which makes its administration discrete, excitingly easy, and enjoyable. Doctors may find this medication for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition of high arterial blood pressure in the lungs. The medication also improves exercise abilities in men.
Filagra 100mg contains sildenafil citrate as its active salt. It is a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors class of medications that slows down the effect of PDE 5 enzymes and restricts its functions. When sexually aroused, our body cells release nitric oxide (NO) to foster an erection. NO activates a substance called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This substance relaxes the smooth muscles of the inner walls of the blood vessels. Because of the muscle relaxation, the blood vessels dilate and open up so that an increased blood can pass through. This increased blood flow fills the erectile tissues (corpus cavernosum) and blood vessels surrounding the male organ and the shaft. Increased blood flow in the penile region, male genital, and reproductive organs brings in the hardness and erection that is quick and long duration. A lack of blood flow is the primary reason for not getting an erection. PDE 5 degrades cGMP and hydrolyzes them. As a result, cGMP concentration cannot flourish in the penile area. Filagra 100mg prevents PDE5 from its action on cGMP. As a result, cGMP level rises in the erectile tissues and relaxes the blood vessels surrounding the male shaft. Now the blood vessels can pump more blood into the penis, causing it to harden and get erect, making it suitable for penetration and intercourse.

Hypersensitive to ED medication ingredients
If you are allergic to sildenafil, vardenafil, avanafil, or tadalafil, avoid this medication, as it may cause severe allergic reactions.
Medicine Interactions
Avoid the medications when taking nitrates to treat angina (chest pain), hypertension, or heart disorders because combining it with Filagra 100mg will plummet the blood pressure to a dangerously low level. Avoid taking it with recreational drugs called “Poppers” because of the same reason.
Avoid taking alpha-blockers used for lowering blood pressure, protease inhibitors to treat HIV and AIDS, antifungals, antidepressants, certain antibiotics, and opioid painkillers, as they may increase the potential side effects.
If you take nitrates, such as isosorbide dinitrate or Nitroglycerin (Nitrostat), to treat heart problems, avoid Filagra 100mg. Combining the two medications can cause severe hypotension that can cause death.
Guanylate Cyclase stimulators such as riociguat (Adempas) can interact with this medication. This combination can cause your blood pressure to drop to a severely low level.
Alpha-blockers, such as Doxazosin, can cause hypotension. Avoid this medication or avoid Filagra 100mg.
Ritonavir, which blocks the breakdown of this medication and increases its concentration in the bloodstream, taking ritonavir may trigger severe side effects dangerous to the health. COVID-19 medications and specific Hepatitis C and HIV treatments have ritonavir used in them.
Heart problems and Hypotension/Hypertension
Patients with heart problems, irregular heartbeat, heart blockage, heart surgery, a stroke, heart attack, heart failure, or life-threatening arrhythmia (heart rhythmic disorder) in the past six months must avoid the ED medication. Avoid it if you have prolonged chest pain, a heart obstruction, an unregulated blood pressure level, or low blood pressure (hypotension).
If you have hypertension and are on blood pressure-lowering medications, then avoid taking them when taking Filagra 100mg. If you have hypotension, talk to your doctor before the ED treatment.
Degenerative, rare eye, retina conditions
Patients with eye disease, non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, sudden blurriness or vision loss in one or both eyes or high pressure on eyeballs can avoid the medication.
Liver& kidney
Patients with liver or kidney problems can start with a lower Filagra dose after consulting a doctor. If you have a compromised liver and kidney, they cannot break the medication, and it stays in the body for a longer duration, causing side effects.
Bleeding problems
If you have bleeding disorders, hemophilia, sickle cell anemia, stomach ulcers, blood cancer, leukemia (blood cell cancer), or multiple myeloma (Bone marrow cancer), avoid Filagra 100mg.
Psychiatric illness

It worked between meals. But other medicines made me feel like cotton heads and foggy brains. This one despite the high dose gave me a mild headache. It gives me a hardness and erection when I feel aroused. If anyone has any other experience, please share.
