If you’ve been prescribed Sildigra, the biggest question is probably "how much should I take?" The answer depends on a few simple factors: your age, kidney function, and whether you’re taking other medicines. Below is a straightforward rundown that lets you start the medication confidently, without guessing.
For most healthy adults, the usual starting dose is 5 mg taken once a day with food. Doctors often keep the dose at 5 mg for the first week to see how you tolerate it. If you don’t experience any side effects, the dose may be increased to 10 mg once daily after the first week. Some patients who need stronger pain relief stay on 10 mg, but the dose rarely goes above that unless a specialist says otherwise.
Take the tablet at the same time each day. This helps keep blood levels steady and reduces the chance of missing a dose. If you forget, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for the next dose – then just skip the missed one. Don’t double‑up.
Kidney problems: If you have reduced kidney function, the doctor will lower the dose, often to 2.5 mg once daily. The drug clears more slowly, so a smaller dose prevents buildup and side‑effects.
Elderly patients: Seniors sometimes start at 2.5 mg as well, because they can be more sensitive to the medication.
Other meds: Sildigra interacts with certain blood thinners and some antibiotics. Always tell your pharmacist about every prescription and supplement you use. A quick check can stop dangerous interactions before they happen.
Side‑effects to watch: Common ones include mild nausea, headache, or dizziness. If you notice swelling, rash, or trouble breathing, seek medical help right away—those could signal a serious reaction.
Never stop taking Sildigra abruptly without talking to your doctor. Stopping suddenly can cause a rebound of the condition it was treating. If you need to quit, your doctor will guide you on tapering the dose safely.
Finally, store Sildigra at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
By following these simple rules—starting low, taking it with food, checking for interactions, and monitoring side‑effects—you’ll get the most benefit from Sildigra while keeping risks low. If anything feels off, call your healthcare provider. They can adjust the dose or suggest alternatives that fit your lifestyle better.
