## What is Silvitra 120 mg

Silvitra 120 mg is a prescription oral medication that treats Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in men. It contains FDA-approved Sildenafil Citrate 100 mg and Vardenafil 20 mg, both Phosphodiesterase Type 5 (PDE5) Inhibitors. The medicine is manufactured by Dharam Distributors, India, in GMP-compliant facilities.

Both Sildenafil and Vardenafil work by blocking the PDE5 enzyme that breaks down cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP) in penile tissue. With PDE5 inhibited, cGMP levels remain elevated during sexual stimulation. This relaxes the smooth muscles of the penile blood vessels, enhancing blood flow and leading to a firmer erection.

The combination of two PDE5 inhibitors provides a stronger and more sustained effect compared to either agent alone. However, because it is a combination of PDE5 inhibitors, it is only prescribed in severe cases.

For the best results, take 1 tablet orally with water, 30-60 minutes before intercourse. Do not take more than a single tablet in 24 hours. While generally well-tolerated, common side effects of Silvitra include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and dizziness.

Seek immediate medical attention if a prolonged painful erection lasting over 4 hours (Priapism) or severe chest pain occurs, as these require emergency care. Do not use Silvitra alongside nitrates, other PDE5 inhibitors, or antihypertensive medications, as serious drops in blood pressure can occur.

Men with severe heart disease, recent Stroke or Heart Attack, uncontrolled blood pressure, or severe liver impairment should not take this medication. Inform the doctor about all medicines before starting treatment. Store Silvitra 120 mg tablet at room temperature below 25°C, away from sunlight.

## What are the benefits of taking Silvitra 120 mg

Silvitra 120 combines two PDE5 inhibitors that work through the same pathway. Together, they deliver a stronger PDE5 inhibition, maintaining elevated cGMP levels in penile tissue during sexual stimulation. It enables a firm and sustained erection for intercourse.

This makes Silvitra 120 mg effective in treating Erectile Dysfunction in men, including those who have not responded adequately to single-agent PDE5 inhibitor therapy. Sildenafil has an onset of action within 30-60 minutes and a duration of 4-6 hours, while Vardenafil has an onset of action within 25-60 minutes and a duration of 5-7 hours.

## How to take Silvitra 120 mg

## Safety Advice

Liver Disease

Both Sildenafil and Vardenafil are metabolized in the liver. So, people with moderate to severe liver disease can experience significantly higher levels of both active ingredients in the bloodstream. This increases the risk of side effects. People with severe liver impairment should not use Silvitra 120 mg. Inform the doctor about any liver condition before starting treatment.

Kidney Impairment

Patients with significant kidney impairment can have reduced clearance of Sildenafil and Vardenafil, leading to higher plasma concentrations. Use Silvitra 120 mg with caution in patients with kidney disease. Inform the doctor about any kidney condition so that the appropriateness of this combination tablet can be assessed before starting treatment.

Pregnant and Breastfeeding women

Silvitra 120 mg is intended exclusively for adult men with Erectile Dysfunction. It is not applicable for use in women, including those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Avoid

Do not take Silvitra 120 mg with nitrate-based medications for chest pain, as combining them can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Avoid taking alongside other PDE5 inhibitors or alpha-blockers without medical guidance. Do not use if there is a history of severe cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled High or Low Blood Pressure, recent Stroke or Heart Attack, or known hypersensitivity to Sildenafil or Vardenafil. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, as it amplifies the blood pressure-lowering effect and increases the risk of dizziness. Do not consume grapefruit or its juice, as they can increase the levels of the medicine in the blood.

## FAQs

## Is Silvitra 120 mg a tablet or a capsule?

Silvitra 120 mg is an oral tablet. It contains a fixed combination of Sildenafil Citrate 100 mg and Vardenafil 20 mg in a single tablet formulation. It should be swallowed whole with water and not crushed, broken, or chewed before administration.

## How long does Silvitra 120 mg take to work?

Silvitra typically begins working within 30-60 minutes of taking the tablet. The onset depends on individual metabolism, age, and whether it was taken with food. Taking it on an empty stomach or after a light meal produces faster results. Sexual stimulation is required for the medication to produce its effect.

## Can Silvitra 120 mg be taken daily?

No, Silvitra is not designed for daily use. It is an on-demand medication taken before sexual activity, with no more than one tablet in any 24-hour period. The high combined dose of two PDE5 inhibitors makes daily use unsuitable. Consult a doctor if more frequent treatment is needed.

## Who should avoid taking Silvitra 120 mg?

Men with severe heart disease, recent Stroke or Heart Attack, uncontrolled blood pressure, or severe liver impairment should avoid Silvitra. It is also unsuitable for anyone with a known allergy to Sildenafil or Vardenafil or those taking nitrates. Always provide a full medical and medication history to the doctor before treatment.

## Can Silvitra 120 mg be taken with alcohol?

No, Silvitra should not be used with alcohol, especially excessive amounts. Alcohol amplifies the blood pressure-lowering effects of both Sildenafil and Vardenafil, increasing the risk of dizziness, low blood pressure, and fainting. Limiting or avoiding alcohol on the day of use is strongly recommended.

## What makes Silvitra 120 mg different from other ED tablets?

Silvitra 120 is different from other ED tablets as it combines two PDE5 inhibitors in one tablet. It provides stronger and more sustained PDE5 inhibition than either Sildenafil or Vardenafil alone. This makes it a consideration for men who have not achieved satisfactory results with single-agent treatment.

## How long do the effects of Silvitra 120 mg last?

The effects of Silvitra typically last between 4 and 7 hours, reflecting the combined duration of Sildenafil and Vardenafil. The medication remains in the system beyond this window, so only 1 tablet should be taken in 24 hours. Individual response times can vary based on metabolism, age, and health status.
