Silandyl is a prescription treatment for erectile dysfunction in adult men. It contains sildenafil, which helps you get and maintain an erection when you are sexually aroused.
You still need to be sexually aroused for Silandyl to work.
Silandyl contains sildenafil, which increases blood flow to the penis when you are sexually aroused. This helps you get and maintain an erection.
Silandyl is a thin orodispersible film that is placed on the tongue and allowed to dissolve before swallowing. It can be taken without water.
This is the main formulation difference between Silandyl and conventional sildenafil tablets.
Take Silandyl exactly as prescribed, usually around one hour before sex. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours.
Open the sachet just before use and place the film directly on your tongue. Allow it to dissolve, then swallow normally. Do not chew the film or swallow it whole. Water is not required.
You still need to be sexually aroused for Silandyl to work.
Yes. However, taking Silandyl with food may make it take longer to work than taking it on an empty stomach.
The right dose depends on your health, other medicines you take, how well sildenafil works for you and whether you get any side effects.
Take the dose prescribed for you. Do not increase your dose without speaking to a doctor or pharmacist.
Silandyl is available from Chemist Click in 50mg, 75mg and 100mg strengths. The right strength depends on your clinical assessment, previous response to sildenafil, other medicines you take and whether you experience side effects.
Silandyl can cause the same side effects as other medicines containing sildenafil. Not everyone will get side effects.
The most common side effect is a headache. Other common side effects include:
Get urgent medical help if you have an erection that lasts for more than four hours. Stop taking Silandyl and seek medical advice straight away if you have a sudden change or loss of vision.
Silandyl is not suitable for everyone. We will check your medical history and current medicines as part of your consultation.
Do not take Silandyl with nitrate medicines or nitric oxide donors, such as glyceryl trinitrate (GTN). Taking them together can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. You should also not take Silandyl with riociguat.
Tell us if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, liver or kidney problems, certain eye conditions, a bleeding disorder, a stomach ulcer, or a condition that can cause prolonged erections.
You should also tell us if you have recently had a heart attack or stroke, or if you have been advised that sexual activity may not be safe for you.
Silandyl can interact with other medicines. Tell us about all prescription and over-the-counter medicines, supplements and recreational drugs you use.
