Nidsex 50mg Tablet (SILDENAFIL)

What is Nidsex tablet?

Nidsex tablet is commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It works by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which helps relax blood vessels and improve blood flow to specific areas, such as the penis or lungs. This improved blood flow allows for better erectile function or reduced pulmonary blood pressure, depending on the condition being treated.

What is the usual dose of Nidsex tablet?

For Erectile Dysfunction (ED):

• The recommended starting dose is 50 mg, taken 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity, as needed.
• Depending on effectiveness and tolerance, the dose may be increased to 100 mg or decreased to 25 mg.

How does one know if Nidsex tablet is working?

The benefits of Nidsex tablet are evaluated through:

Patient-reported outcomes: For erectile dysfunction (ED), patient questionnaires like the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) assess improvements in erectile function, satisfaction, and quality of life.

Objective clinical measurements: In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), the effectiveness is measured by improvements in exercise capacity (e.g., 6-minute walk test), reduced pulmonary arterial pressure, and hemodynamic parameters.

Trial data: Clinical studies compare Nidsex tablet's performance with placebos or other treatments to track improvements in both ED and PAH symptoms.

How does Nidsex tablet work?

Nidsex tablet works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), an enzyme that breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). By blocking PDE5, Nidsex tablet increases cGMP levels, leading to relaxation of smooth muscle cells and enhanced blood flow.

• In erectile dysfunction, it improves blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal, facilitating erection.
• In pulmonary arterial hypertension, it relaxes pulmonary blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and improving oxygen delivery.
