Here’s a detailed overview of Udenafil Tablets:

1. What it is:
Udenafil is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It belongs to the class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, which help increase blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation.

2. Common uses:

• Treatment of erectile dysfunction

• Sometimes prescribed for men with pulmonary arterial hypertension (less common use)

3. How it works:

• During sexual arousal, nitric oxide is released in the penis, which increases a chemical called cGMP.

• Udenafil inhibits the enzyme PDE5, which breaks down cGMP, allowing blood vessels to relax and the penis to fill with blood, resulting in an erection.

• Sexual stimulation is required for the medication to work.

4. How it is taken:

• Taken orally, usually once daily or as prescribed.

• Can be taken with or without food, but high-fat meals may delay its effect.

• Usually taken 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity.

5. Precautions:

• Not recommended for men taking nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin) due to risk of severe low blood pressure.

• Consult a doctor if you have heart problems, kidney or liver issues, or a history of stroke.

• Avoid excessive alcohol as it may reduce effectiveness or increase side effects.

6. Possible side effects:

• Headache, flushing, or dizziness

• Nasal congestion

• Stomach upset or indigestion

• Rare: vision changes, prolonged erections (priapism), or sudden hearing loss

7. Important advice:

• Do not take more than the prescribed dose.

• Seek immediate medical attention for prolonged or painful erections.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
