Vigoarv 25mg Tablet

Introduction

Vigoarv is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient sildenafil. It is commonly known by its brand name, Vigoarv. This medication is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, which means it helps to relax the blood vessels in the penis, allowing for increased blood flow and facilitating an erection.

Uses

Vigoarv is prescribed to men who have difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction caused by various factors, including physical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular disease, as well as psychological factors. Vigoarv can help improve sexual performance and enhance the quality of sexual experiences.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Vigoarv is typically 50 milligrams (mg) taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. However, the dosage may vary depending on individual needs and tolerability. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, and it can be taken with or without food. Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking this medication, as it may interact with sildenafil and affect its effectiveness.

Mechanism of Action

Vigoarv works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is responsible for the degradation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the penis. By inhibiting PDE5, sildenafil helps to increase the levels of cGMP, leading to relaxation of the smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis. This relaxation allows for increased blood flow to the penis, which in turn helps to produce and maintain an erection.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include headache, flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion, and dizziness. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional.

Serious side effects are rare but can occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following: sudden vision loss, chest pain, shortness of breath, prolonged or painful erection lasting more than four hours (priapism), or allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling.

Drug Interactions

Vigoarv may interact with certain medications, potentially affecting their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. Common drug interactions may occur with nitrates, alpha-blockers, certain antifungal medications, and some antibiotics. Your healthcare professional will be able to advise you on any potential interactions and adjust your medication regimen accordingly.

Precautions

Before starting treatment with Vigoarv, inform your healthcare professional about any underlying medical conditions or allergies you may have. This medication may not be suitable for individuals with certain heart or liver conditions, as well as those who have experienced a recent stroke or heart attack. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Vigoarv, as it may increase the risk of side effects.

Additionally, Vigoarv should not be used by individuals who are taking nitrates or alpha-blockers, as the combination can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Your healthcare professional will carefully evaluate your medical history and current medications to determine if Vigoarv is safe and appropriate for you.

Vigoarv should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets. Do not use Vigoarv if the packaging is damaged or if the tablets have expired. If you have any unused or expired medication, properly dispose of it in accordance with local regulations.
