Udenafil Information

Introduction

Udenafil is a phosphodiesterase‑type‑5 (PDE5) inhibitor used primarily for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It belongs to the men’s health medication group and is approved for use in Hong Kong under the generic name Udenafil. The active compound, also called Udenafil, exerts its therapeutic effect by enhancing the nitric‑oxide–cGMP pathway in penile tissue, leading to improved erectile response when sexual stimulation occurs. While its main indication is ED, the drug has also been investigated for pulmonary arterial hypertension and for off‑label use in certain vascular conditions, though such applications are not currently approved in Hong Kong.

What is Udenafil?

Udenafil is the generic version of the original brand Udenafil produced by Dong‑A Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The generic formulation contains the same active compound, Udenafil, and meets the same quality standards as the brand‑name product. Our online pharmacy provides this generic alternative as a cost‑effective treatment option for men seeking reliable relief from erectile dysfunction.

• Classification: PDE5 inhibitor, oral tablet.
• Development: First synthesized in the early 200s in South Korea as a next‑generation sildenafil analogue.
• Manufacturer (original brand): Dong‑A Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

How Udenafil Works

Udenafil inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase‑type‑5, which normally degrades cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the smooth muscle of the corpus cavernosum. By blocking PDE5, Udenafil allows cGMP to accumulate, leading to smooth‑muscle relaxation, increased arterial inflow, and engorgement of penile tissue. The drug does not directly cause an erection; sexual arousal is required to trigger nitric‑oxide release, which initiates the cascade.

• Onset of action: Typically 30–60 minutes after oral ingestion.
• Duration of effect: Up to 12 hours in many patients, providing a longer therapeutic window than some older PDE5 inhibitors.
• Metabolism and clearance: Primarily metabolized by hepatic cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and excreted as inactive metabolites in urine and feces. The elimination half‑life is approximately 12 hours, supporting its extended duration.

Conditions Treated with Udenafil

Udenafil improves erectile function by restoring the nitric‑oxide–cGMP pathway, which is often compromised in diabetes, hypertension, or atherosclerotic disease—conditions common among Hong Kong’s aging male population.

Suitable Candidates for Udenafil Treatment

• Adult men (≥18 years) with a clinical diagnosis of erectile dysfunction who have not responded adequately to lifestyle modifications.
• Patients who prefer a longer duration of action (up to 12 hours) compared with sildenafil (≈4–6 hours) and who are comfortable with on‑demand dosing rather than daily regimens.
• Individuals without contraindications such as concurrent nitrate therapy, severe hepatic impairment, or a history of non‑arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).

Udenafil is not appropriate for:

• Women, children, or adolescents.
• Men with uncontrolled blood pressure (>180/110 mmHg) or severe heart failure (NYHA Class IV).
• Patients taking potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin) without dosage adjustment.

Risks, Side Effects, and Interactions

Common

• Headache
• Flushing
• Nasal congestion
• Dyspepsia (indigestion)
• Mild visual disturbances (tinted vision)

Rare

• Priapism (prolonged erection lasting >4 hours) – requires urgent medical attention.
• Hearing loss or sudden decrease in hearing.
• Skin rash or mild allergic reactions.

Serious

• Cardiovascular events (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke) in patients with pre‑existing coronary artery disease.
• Severe hypotension when combined with nitrates or alpha‑blockers.
• Non‑arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).

Drug–drug interactions

• Nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate) – concurrent use can cause dangerous hypotension; contraindicated.
• Alpha‑blockers (e.g., tamsulosin, doxazosin) – may potentiate blood‑pressure lowering; dose titration required.
• CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, erythromycin, ritonavir) – increase plasma Udenafil concentrations; dose reduction advisable.
• CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampin, carbamazepine) – may reduce efficacy; consider alternative therapy.

Patients should disclose all current medications, including over‑the‑counter products and herbal supplements, to their healthcare provider before initiating Udenafil.

Practical Use: Dosing, Missed Dose, Overdose

• Standard dosing for on‑demand use: 50 mg taken about 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. If tolerated and insufficient, the dose may be increased to 100 mg. The maximum recommended daily dose is 200 mg.
• Daily low‑dose regimen (off‑label): 25 mg once daily for patients who desire spontaneous sexual activity without planning. This regimen is not formally approved in Hong Kong but is used in some clinical practice under physician supervision.
• Missed dose: If a dose is forgotten, it should be taken as soon as remembered unless more than 4 hours have passed before the next anticipated sexual activity; in that case, skip the missed dose and resume the regular schedule.
• Overdose: Symptoms may include severe headache, hypotension, prolonged erection, or fainting. Seek immediate medical attention; supportive care and monitoring are the mainstays of treatment.
• Food and alcohol: A high‑fat meal can delay absorption, extending onset by up to 45 minutes. Moderate alcohol intake is permissible, but excessive drinking may impair erection and increase the risk of hypotension.
• Comorbidities: Patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment should start with a reduced dose (25 mg) and be monitored closely.

FAQ

• Is Udenafil available in both brand‑name and generic forms in Hong Kong?
  Yes. The original brand‑name product, marketed by Dong‑A Pharmaceutical, is available in Hong Kong, and a generic version containing the same active compound can be purchased from our online pharmacy at a lower price.

• Does Udenafil require cold storage?
  No. Udenafil tablets should be stored at room temperature (15–30 °C), away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture. Refrigeration is not necessary and may affect tablet integrity.

• What does the packaging of Udenafil look like when ordered online?
  Tablets are typically supplied in blister packs of 10 or 20 units, each pack sealed in a tamper‑evident, child‑resistant envelope. The outer box includes the generic name, strength (50 mg or 100 mg), and batch information for traceability.

• Can Udenafil be safely imported into Hong Kong for personal use?
  Personal import of a three‑month supply of a prescription medication for personal use is permitted under Hong Kong customs regulations, provided the product is sourced from a licensed overseas pharmacy and the importer holds a valid medical prescription.

• Are there manufacturer warnings specific to Asian populations?
  Clinical studies in East Asian subjects have shown similar efficacy and safety profiles to Western populations. However, some manufacturers advise caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment, which can be more prevalent in certain Asian cohorts.

• Does the formulation of Udenafil differ between regions (e.g., US vs EU vs Asia)?
  The active ingredient is identical worldwide, but excipients such as fillers or binders may vary slightly to meet regional regulatory requirements. These differences do not affect clinical efficacy.

• How long does it take for Udenafil to reach peak plasma concentration?
  Peak plasma levels are typically observed 1–2 hours after oral administration under fasting conditions; food can delay this peak by up to 45 minutes.

• Is it safe to travel with Udenafil in carry‑on luggage?
  Yes, provided the medication is in its original packaging, labeled clearly, and the quantity does not exceed personal use limits. Passengers should keep the medication in a hand‑held bag to avoid temperature extremes in checked luggage.

• What is the recommended shelf life of Udenafil tablets?
  Unopened tablets retain full potency for up to 24 months when stored correctly. Once opened, tablets should be used within 12 months, after which potency may decline.

• Can Udenafil be taken with antihypertensive medications other than nitrates?
  Most antihypertensive agents (e.g., ACE inhibitors, ARBs, calcium‑channel blockers) are compatible with Udenafil. Nonetheless, patients should monitor blood pressure after the first dose and report any unexpected drops to their physician.
