Malegra FXT (Sildenafil Citrate/Fluoxetine)

Introduction

Malegra FXT is a prescription medication that combines Sildenafil Citrate and Fluoxetine in a single tablet. It is marketed for men who experience both erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE). Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, 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.

The use of Fluoxetine for premature ejaculation is considered off-label in many countries. Because this medicine combines two active ingredients that affect different body systems, it should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.

Product Overview

*Fluoxetine is not specifically approved for premature ejaculation in many countries.

How Malegra FXT Works

Malegra FXT contains two active ingredients that work in different ways:

Sildenafil Citrate

Sildenafil blocks the PDE5 enzyme, increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. This can help improve erectile function and support the ability to achieve and maintain an erection.

Fluoxetine

Fluoxetine increases serotonin levels in the brain by inhibiting serotonin reuptake. Although it is mainly prescribed for mental health conditions, some healthcare professionals may use SSRIs off-label to help delay ejaculation in selected patients.

The combination may be considered for men who have both erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, depending on individual circumstances.
