What should I do if I experience side effects with Filitra 40 Mg ?

 
If you're experiencing side effects with Filitra 40 mg (which contains the active ingredient Vardenafil, a medication used for treating erectile dysfunction), it's important to take the following steps:

1. Identify the Side Effects: Make a note of the specific symptoms you're experiencing, such as:
   
   • Headaches
   • Dizziness
   • Flushing
   • Stomach discomfort
   • Nasal congestion
   • Vision changes
   • Priapism (painful, prolonged erection)
2. Stop Taking Filitra: If the Filitra 40 mg side effects are severe or if you experience a rare but serious reaction (such as priapism or a sudden loss of vision/hearing), stop using the medication immediately.
   
3. Seek Medical Attention:
   
   • If you experience symptoms like chest pain, severe dizziness, vision problems, or priapism, seek emergency medical help immediately.
   • For less serious but bothersome side effects, contact your doctor to discuss alternatives or adjustments to your treatment.
4. Consult with Your Doctor or Healthcare Provider:
   
   • Contact your prescribing healthcare provider to report the side effects. They may adjust your dosage or recommend a different medication depending on the severity of the side effects.
   • If the side effects are mild, your doctor may suggest managing them until they subside or might switch you to a different medication.
5. Do Not Combine Filitra with Certain Medications:
   
   • Filitra should not be taken with certain medications, such as nitrates (often used for chest pain) or alpha-blockers (for high blood pressure). These combinations can cause dangerous drops in blood pressure. Always check with your doctor about other medications you're taking.
6. Check for Underlying Health Conditions: Sometimes, side effects can be exacerbated by other health conditions (e.g., heart disease, kidney/liver issues). Ensure your doctor is aware of your full medical history.
   

Remember, any unusual or severe symptoms should not be ignored. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
