When taking Vigora 100 mg, which contains Sildenafil (the same active ingredient as Viagra), there are several things you should avoid to ensure the medication works effectively and safely: 1. Avoid Nitrate Medications: Sildenafil (Vigora) can interact dangerously with nitrate medications, commonly prescribed for chest pain (angina) or heart conditions. Combining these medications can cause a severe drop in blood pressure (hypotension), which can be life-threatening. Examples of nitrate medications include: Nitroglycerin Isosorbide dinitrate Isosorbide mononitrate Some recreational drugs like poppers (amyl nitrate). If you're using nitrate medications, do not take Vigora 100 mg. 2. Avoid Grapefruit and Grapefruit Juice: Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can interfere with the metabolism of Sildenafil. They inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme in the liver, which is responsible for breaking down the medication. This can increase the concentration of Sildenafil in your bloodstream, potentially leading to increased side effects, such as headaches, dizziness, or a significant drop in blood pressure. It's best to avoid grapefruit while using Vigora 100 mg. 3. Avoid Heavy Meals: Taking Vigora after a large or fatty meal can delay its absorption and reduce its effectiveness. A heavy meal can slow down how quickly the body processes the medication, meaning you may not feel its effects as soon as you would with a lighter meal. To ensure the best results, take Vigora 100 Mg on an empty stomach or after a light meal. 4. Avoid Alcohol in Excess: While moderate alcohol consumption generally does not interfere with Sildenafil’s ability to treat erectile dysfunction, drinking large amounts of alcohol can have negative effects. Excessive alcohol can impair sexual performance, cause dizziness, or lead to a drop in blood pressure, especially when combined with Vigora. For the best results, limit alcohol intake when taking Vigora 100 mg. 5. Avoid Taking More than the Recommended Dose: Taking more than one dose of Vigora 100 mg in a 24-hour period can increase the risk of serious side effects, such as erections lasting longer than 4 hours (priapism), which can damage the penis. Always follow the doctor’s instructions and take only one tablet per day. 6. Avoid Using Vigora 100 Mg if You Have Certain Health Conditions: Severe heart conditions: If you have had a recent heart attack or stroke, or suffer from certain heart problems (e.g., low blood pressure, heart failure), Vigora may not be suitable for you. Severe liver or kidney disease: Sildenafil is processed in the liver and kidneys. If you have liver or kidney disease, your doctor may need to adjust the dose or choose a different treatment. Eye conditions: People with certain eye conditions, such as retinitis pigmentosa (a rare inherited eye disease), should avoid taking Vigora. 7. Avoid Driving or Operating Machinery if You Experience Dizziness or Blurred Vision: Some men may experience side effects such as dizziness or blurred vision after taking Sildigra 100 mg. If you experience these symptoms, it's advisable to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you. 8. Avoid Taking Vigora 100 Mg If You Are Allergic to Sildenafil: If you are allergic to Sildenafil or any other components of Vigora, you should avoid taking it. Signs of an allergic reaction include rash, itching, swelling, or trouble breathing. To use Vigora 100 mg safely and effectively: Avoid nitrates, grapefruit, heavy meals, excessive alcohol, and more than one dose per day. Be cautious about certain health conditions like heart disease or liver issues. Always follow your healthcare provider’s guidance to ensure the medication is appropriate for you. If you experience any unusual side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
