Filitra (which contains vardenafil) is a medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). While it can be effective, there are specific circumstances where you should avoid taking it to prevent potential health risks. Here are the situations where Filitra should not be taken:
Allergic Reactions: If you are allergic to vardenafil or any other components in Filitra, you should not use it.
Use with Nitrates: Filitra should never be taken with nitrate medications (such as nitroglycerin), commonly used to treat chest pain (angina). The combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Severe Heart or Liver Conditions: If you have severe heart problems, such as unstable angina (chest pain), recent heart attack or stroke, or severe low blood pressure, it is important to avoid taking Filitra, as it can worsen these conditions.
Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension): People with low blood pressure should not take Filitra, as it can lower blood pressure further, leading to dizziness or fainting.
High Blood Pressure: If your blood pressure is poorly controlled or very high, Filitra could increase risks for cardiovascular problems.
Severe Kidney Disorders: If you have severe kidney disease, you should consult your doctor before using Filitra, as adjustments in dosing might be required.
Retinitis Pigmentosa (Eye Disorder): If you have a history of retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited eye disease, Filitra may cause further vision issues.
Penile Conditions: If you have conditions like priapism (painful, prolonged erection) or any anatomical deformation of the penis (e.g., Peyronie's disease), Filitra should not be used unless prescribed by a doctor.
Concurrent Use of Other ED Medications: Avoid taking Filitra with other medications for erectile dysfunction, as this could lead to serious side effects, such as an unsafe drop in blood pressure.
Age Considerations: Older adults may require careful dosage adjustments, so Filitra should be used cautiously and only under medical advice.
Always consult a healthcare provider before taking Filitra, especially if you have any pre-existing health conditions or are on other medications, to avoid dangerous interactions or side effects.
