Fildena Super Active (Sildenafil Citrate) Softgel Capsules

Fildena Super Active is the softgel in the Fildena range. The carton lists 100 mg of sildenafil per capsule. Sildenafil is used in ED treatment to help support an erection during sexual stimulation.

What the softgel name means

A softgel is a capsule with a soft shell. The form differs from the standard Fildena 100 mg tablet. Check the exact directions supplied with the capsule before using it. If the shell is damaged or you have trouble swallowing capsules, ask a pharmacist before opening it.

Super Active and Super Fildena have different ingredients

Super Active lists sildenafil alone. Super Fildena lists sildenafil plus dapoxetine in a tablet. Check the active ingredient line when the names look similar. That difference matters for both side effects and interactions.

Side effects and interactions

Sildenafil can cause headache, flushing, dizziness and indigestion. Avoid using it with nitrates, nitrite poppers or riociguat. Seek urgent care for chest pain, sudden vision or hearing loss, or an erection lasting four hours.

Advantages

• Capsule format for people comparing oral dosage forms.
• Single labeled active ingredient makes it easier to distinguish from the combination tablet.

Disadvantages

• The capsule form alone cannot predict onset or duration.
• The shell and other inactive ingredients may matter if you have an allergy.
