Description:

Vega 100 mg is a medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains Sildenafil, which is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. Sildenafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, which helps a man achieve and maintain an erection. It is also used in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition where there is high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs.

Indications:

1. Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Vega 100 mg is most commonly prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men. It helps to increase the ability to get and maintain an erection when combined with sexual stimulation.

2. Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): Sildenafil may be prescribed for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, improving exercise ability and decreasing symptoms related to the condition.

Dosage and Administration:

• For Erectile Dysfunction:

  • The typical starting dose is 50 mg, but 100 mg can be prescribed if the doctor deems it appropriate.

  • Take one tablet about 1 hour before sexual activity. It can be taken with or without food.

  • Do not take more than one tablet in 24 hours.

  • The dosage may be adjusted by your doctor based on effectiveness and tolerance.

• For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension:

  • The dosage for PAH is typically lower and varies depending on the patient’s condition. It is usually taken three times a day.

    Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Headache.

• Flushing.

• Upset stomach or indigestion.

• Nasal congestion.

• Dizziness or light-headedness.

• Blurred vision.

Serious side effects are rare but can include:

• Priapism (prolonged and painful erection).

• Sudden loss of vision or hearing.

• Chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or other heart-related symptoms.

If any serious side effects occur, seek medical attention immediately.

Precautions:

• Do not use Vega 100 mg if you are taking nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin for chest pain) as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

• Consult your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, low blood pressure, stroke, or other cardiovascular conditions.

• Avoid alcohol and grapefruit while using this medication, as they can increase the risk of side effects or interfere with the medication’s effectiveness.

• Not for use in women or children.

• Sildenafil is only effective with sexual stimulation.

Drug Interactions:

• Nitrates (often used for chest pain): Taking Vega 100 mg with nitrates can cause a severe drop in blood pressure.

• Alpha-blockers: Used for high blood pressure or prostate issues, these may interact with Sildenafil and cause low blood pressure.

• Other medications for ED: Do not take other PDE5 inhibitors while on Vega 100 mg.

• Antifungals and HIV medications: These may increase Sildenafil levels in the blood, enhancing side effects.

  Storage Instructions:

• Store Vega 100 mg tablets at room temperature (between 20°C to 25°C).

• Keep the bottle tightly closed and away from light and moisture.

• Keep the medication out of reach of children.
