Why is Fildena Chewable 100 Mg not recommended for those with heart conditions?
Fildena Chewable 100 mg contains the active ingredient sildenafil citrate, which is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. While sildenafil is generally safe and effective for many individuals, it is not recommended for those with certain heart conditions due to the potential risks involved.
The main concern is related to the way sildenafil works and its effects on blood pressure. Sildenafil, as a PDE5 inhibitor, increases blood flow to the penis by relaxing the smooth muscles of the penile arteries. However, it also causes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) throughout the body, which can lead to a drop in blood pressure.
Coronary artery disease: Narrowing of the coronary arteries can limit blood flow to the heart muscle. Taking Fildena Chewable 100 can further lower blood pressure, potentially reducing blood flow to the heart and increasing the risk of angina (chest pain) or other heart-related issues.
Recent heart attack or stroke: If someone has had a heart attack or stroke within the past six months, using sildenafil may not be safe due to the potential strain on the cardiovascular system.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure: Sildenafil can lower blood pressure, and using it in individuals with uncontrolled hypertension may lead to a dangerously low blood pressure level.
Severe heart failure: Severe heart failure can impair the heart's ability to pump blood effectively, and sildenafil's effects on blood pressure may worsen this condition.
Arrhythmias: Certain irregular heart rhythms can be exacerbated by the effects of sildenafil on blood pressure and heart rate.
