Fildena Extra Power contains sildenafil as its active component. It is marketed as a pill with a strength of 150 mg and is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). In Hong Kong, erectile dysfunction medications are prescription-only products regulated by the Department of Health under the Pharmacy and Poisons Ordinance.
Sildenafil belongs to the class of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. By blocking the PDE5 enzyme in the penile tissue, it prevents the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Elevated cGMP levels lead to smooth-muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum, allowing increased blood flow when sexual stimulation triggers nitric oxide release. The result is improved ability to achieve and sustain an erection.
Key pharmacologic points:
Sildenafil is absorbed rapidly from the gastrointestinal tract, with an oral bioavailability of about 40 %. It is metabolized primarily by the hepatic CYP3A4 enzyme and eliminated through renal excretion.
Fildena Extra Power is approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult males. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to obtain or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. The medication is intended for use in men who have a physiological cause for ED and who respond to sexual stimulation.
Typical patient profiles include:
These effects are generally self-limiting and may be lessened by taking the pill with food, though high-fat meals can delay onset.
If any of these occur, seek immediate medical attention.
Patients should disclose all prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal products to their healthcare provider before starting Fildena Extra Power.
Routine monitoring for patients on sildenafil includes:
If adverse effects are severe or persist, dose adjustment or alternative therapy should be considered.

Alcohol may enhance the blood-pressure-lowering effects of sildenafil and increase the likelihood of dizziness or flushing. Moderate consumption is generally tolerated, but excessive intake can impair the medication’s effectiveness and safety.
The 150 mg strength exceeds the usual maximum recommended dose of 100 mg. It may be appropriate for certain individuals under close medical supervision, but it is not universally safe. Patients with cardiovascular risk factors should be especially cautious.
Fildena Extra Power should be taken 30-60 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. Taking it earlier may delay onset, while taking it later may reduce efficacy.
The tablet is formulated for oral swallowing whole. Crushing may alter absorption rate and increase the risk of side effects. Do not crush or chew unless directed by a pharmacist.
In many markets, the 150 mg sildenafil tablet bears the imprint “FILDENA 150”. Imprint designs can vary by manufacturer; verify with a pharmacist if uncertain.
Sildenafil is approved for pulmonary arterial hypertension at different dosing regimens. However, Fildena Extra Power is labeled for erectile dysfunction, and off-label use for pulmonary hypertension should only occur under specialist oversight.
In most healthy individuals, a single dose of sildenafil causes only modest, transient reductions in blood pressure. Patients on antihypertensive therapy should monitor their readings and discuss any significant changes with their provider.
Standard workplace drug tests do not screen for sildenafil. However, specialized testing for performance-enhancing substances in certain sports may include PDE5 inhibitors.
A erection lasting longer than 4 hours (priapism) requires urgent medical attention to prevent permanent tissue damage. Seek emergency care promptly.
Sildenafil is available in various generic formulations, typically in 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg tablets. A 150 mg generic version may exist in some regions, but availability varies by country and pharmacy.
