Jozogra (Sildenafil 100 mg Tablets) – Drug Information

What it is

Jozogra is a brand of sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis to help achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated.

What it's used for

Jozogra is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men.

How it's taken

Jozogra is taken as needed, typically about 1 hour before sexual activity, but can be taken between 30 minutes and 4 hours before. The usual starting dose is 50 mg, but your doctor may adjust it between 25 mg and 100 mg depending on how well it works and how you tolerate it. Do not take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period. Follow your doctor's instructions exactly.

Common side effects

Common side effects are not listed in the available information; however, serious side effects include prolonged erection (priapism – seek emergency care if erection lasts more than 4 hours), sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes, sudden hearing loss, and low blood pressure when used with nitrates or with certain heart medicines. The prescribing information also mentions possible cardiovascular events, effects on the eye, and hearing loss. Always consult your doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms.

Important cautions

Do not use Jozogra if you are taking any form of nitrates (often used for chest pain) or guanylate cyclase stimulators such as riociguat. It is also not for patients with known hypersensitivity to sildenafil or any tablet ingredient. If sexual activity is not advisable due to your heart condition, do not take this medicine. Caution is needed when Jozogra is used with alpha-blockers or blood pressure medicines because it may cause a drop in blood pressure. Stop taking Jozogra and seek immediate medical help if you experience sudden vision loss or a prolonged erection.
