Fildena 120 mg (Sildenafil Citrate)

Fildena 120 mg is the conventional sildenafil tablet sold under the Fildena Strong 120 name. The label states 120 mg per tablet, 20 mg above the maximum recommended for FDA-approved sildenafil ED tablets.

Fildena Strong 120 versus 100 mg

Compare the amount on the carton with the strength on your prescription. Fildena 100 mg is a separate listing with a lower labeled amount. For ED, approved U.S. sildenafil tablets are labeled in 25, 50 and 100 mg strengths. Ask a U.S. pharmacist to verify the exact product before substituting one strength for another.

Safety with a higher-strength tablet

Higher sildenafil exposure can increase effects such as dizziness, headache and low blood pressure. Medicines such as ritonavir can further increase exposure. Keep sildenafil separate from other ED medicines and avoid it with nitrates, nitrite poppers or riociguat. Seek urgent help for chest pain, sudden vision or hearing loss, or an erection lasting four hours.

Advantages

• The Strong 120 name and printed strength help distinguish this listing.

Disadvantages

• 120 mg is above the U.S. labeled ED maximum.
• A higher amount can increase adverse effects.
