If you have a bleeding disorder, you should avoid using Fildena 150 mg tablet (sildenafil citrate) or any other medications in the same class (PDE5 inhibitors) without consulting your healthcare provider. Fildena 150 mg and other PDE5 inhibitors can have potential interactions with bleeding disorders or medications used to manage these conditions. Here's why you should be cautious:
Increased Bleeding Risk: Fildena 150 mg can lower blood pressure and enhance the effects of anticoagulant medications, such as warfarin or heparin. This may increase the risk of bleeding in individuals with bleeding disorders, leading to potentially severe or life-threatening complications.
Platelet Function: Some bleeding disorders are characterized by impaired platelet function, leading to difficulties in blood clotting. PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil may affect platelet function, further compromising the blood's ability to clot.
Other Medication Interactions: Individuals with bleeding disorders may be on specific medications to manage their condition. PDE5 inhibitors can interact with these medications, affecting their effectiveness or potentiating bleeding risks.
Priapism: Priapism, a rare but serious side effect of PDE5 inhibitors, is a prolonged and painful erection lasting more than four hours. Priapism can lead to penile tissue damage and requires immediate medical attention. Individuals with bleeding disorders may be at increased risk of priapism, and using Fildena 150 mg could exacerbate this risk.
