Transitioning from Viagra (sildenafil) to Filitra 10 mg (vardenafil + dapoxetine) should always be guided by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a urologist or physician specializing in sexual health. These specialists can evaluate the patient’s medical history, cardiovascular health, and other medications, ensuring the switch is safe and effective.
Since both drugs act as PDE5 inhibitors, but Filitra 10 also contains dapoxetine to manage premature ejaculation, a careful assessment is needed to avoid drug interactions or side effects. A pharmacist can also provide valuable advice on dosing, timing, and monitoring for adverse reactions. Patients should never self-switch medications, as improper use can lead to serious complications, including low blood pressure, dizziness, or prolonged erections.
The clinician will usually recommend starting with the lowest effective dose, monitor response, and adjust based on tolerability and sexual performance goals. Close follow-up is essential, especially for patients with heart disease, liver or kidney problems, or those taking nitrates or antihypertensives. Proper guidance ensures a safe and optimized transition, balancing efficacy for erectile dysfunction and potential benefits for premature ejaculation.
