Careforce 50 mg

Careforce 50 mg is used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men. It can help men who experience:

• Difficulty getting an erection

• Difficulty keeping an erection

• Erections that are not firm enough for sex

• Loss of firmness before sexual activity is complete

• Reduced erectile response despite sexual stimulation

Careforce does not increase sperm count, prevent pregnancy or protect either partner from sexually transmitted infections.

• Helps achieve a firm erection

• Supports maintaining an erection during sex

• Improves the natural response to sexual stimulation

• Provides a commonly used sildenafil strength

• Can be taken only when sexual activity is planned

• May improve confidence affected by erection problems

• Offers a convenient oral treatment option

• Usually begins working within approximately one hour

Careforce works differently for each person. Its effect can be influenced by meal size, alcohol consumption, timing, sexual stimulation, medical conditions and other medicines.

An erection begins when sexual stimulation causes the body to release nitric oxide. This raises the level of cyclic guanosine monophosphate, commonly called cGMP, inside the penis.

cGMP relaxes the smooth muscles surrounding the penile blood vessels. This allows more blood to enter the penis and supports an erection.

The PDE5 enzyme breaks down cGMP and reduces this effect. Sildenafil temporarily blocks PDE5, allowing cGMP to remain active for longer. This supports a firmer erection during sexual stimulation without producing an automatic or continuous erection.

For most adult men beginning sildenafil treatment, 50 mg is a commonly used starting dose. When Careforce 50 mg is prescribed, take one tablet approximately 30 to 60 minutes before planned sexual activity.

Swallow the tablet whole with water. It can be taken with or without food, although a heavy or high-fat meal may delay absorption and make the medicine take longer to work.

Do not take more than one dose within 24 hours. Never take another tablet because the first dose did not work immediately, and do not combine Careforce with another sildenafil or erectile dysfunction medicine.

Sexual stimulation is required for the tablet to work. Limit alcohol because excessive drinking can reduce erectile response and increase dizziness or low blood pressure.

Kidney or liver problems, older age and certain interacting medicines can change how the body processes sildenafil. In these situations, a different dose or a longer interval between doses may be needed.

Common Side Effects: Headache, facial flushing, indigestion, nausea, dizziness and a blocked or runny nose can occur. Some men experience temporary visual changes, including blurred vision, sensitivity to light or a blue tint around objects. Do not drive or operate machinery until dizziness or visual symptoms have fully passed.

Serious Side Effects: Seek urgent medical attention for chest pain, fainting, breathing difficulty, severe dizziness or swelling of the face, lips or throat. An erection that is painful or lasts longer than four hours requires immediate treatment. Sudden vision loss or a sudden reduction in hearing, sometimes accompanied by ringing in the ears or dizziness, must also be treated as an emergency.

Careforce 50 mg should be avoided by:

• People allergic to sildenafil

• People taking nitrate medicines

• People using recreational nitrate “poppers”

• People taking riociguat

• People advised not to have sexual activity

• People with unstable angina

• People with severe heart failure

• People with dangerously low blood pressure

• People with uncontrolled high blood pressure

• People who recently had a heart attack or stroke

• People with previous sudden vision loss caused by NAION

• Women using it for erectile dysfunction

• Children and adolescents younger than 18 years

People with kidney or liver disease, bleeding problems, stomach ulcers, retinal disease, sickle cell anaemia, leukaemia, multiple myeloma or a physical deformity of the penis require individual medical guidance.

Tell your doctor about every medicine and supplement you use and any recreational drugs. Pay special attention to

• Nitrates and riociguat must never be combined with sildenafil

• Alpha blockers and blood pressure medicines can raise the risk of low blood pressure

• Ritonavir and other HIV medicines can raise sildenafil levels a lot. With ritonavir the maximum is 25 mg in 48 hours so a 50 mg dose is not suitable

• Ketoconazole itraconazole and some antibiotics may mean you need a lower dose

• Other ED medicines such as tadalafil or vardenafil should not be combined with sildenafil unless a specialist tells you to

Keep alcohol low because it can make erection problems worse. Ask your pharmacist about grapefruit and grapefruit juice.

• Keep tablets in the original pack

• Keep away from heat and moisture

• Follow the storage temperature on the pack

• Keep out of the reach of children

• Do not use expired tablets or tablets from damaged packs

• Ask a pharmacist how to dispose of unused medicine
