Malegra FXT Plus (Sildenafil Citrate/Fluoxetine)

Introduction

Malegra FXT Plus is a prescription medication that combines Sildenafil Citrate and Fluoxetine in a single tablet. It is intended for adult men who have been diagnosed with erectile dysfunction (ED) and may also experience premature ejaculation (PE). Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor that improves blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, while Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) primarily approved for treating depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and certain other mental health conditions.

Although Fluoxetine may be prescribed off-label to help delay ejaculation in some patients, it is not specifically approved for the treatment of premature ejaculation in many countries. Because this medicine combines two prescription drugs with different mechanisms of action, it should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.

Product Overview

How Malegra FXT Plus Works

Malegra FXT Plus combines two active ingredients that target different aspects of male sexual health.

Sildenafil Citrate

Sildenafil inhibits the PDE5 enzyme, helping relax blood vessels in the penis and increasing blood flow during sexual stimulation. This supports the ability to achieve and maintain an erection.

Fluoxetine

Fluoxetine works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. While it is primarily prescribed for depression and certain anxiety-related disorders, increased serotonin activity may delay ejaculation in some individuals. This use is considered off-label in many regions.

The medication does not increase sexual desire and requires sexual stimulation for Sildenafil to be effective.

Who May Be Prescribed Malegra FXT Plus?

A healthcare professional may consider this medication for adult men who:

• Have erectile dysfunction.
• Also experience premature ejaculation.
• Have undergone an appropriate medical evaluation.
• Have no contraindications to either Sildenafil or Fluoxetine.

This medication is not intended for women or individuals under 18 years of age.

How to Take Malegra FXT Plus

Always use this medication exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.

General recommendations include:

• Swallow the tablet whole with water.
• It is commonly taken 30 to 60 minutes before planned sexual activity, if prescribed.
• It may be taken with or without food.
• Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, as it may increase side effects.
• Do not exceed one dose within a 24-hour period unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider.

Do not stop taking the medication abruptly without medical advice, particularly because Fluoxetine affects neurotransmitter levels.
