Estradiol + Sildenafil is used to manage erectile dysfunction in men and menopausal symptoms such as vaginal dryness, burning, and irritation in women.
This combination is commonly used for:
• Erectile dysfunction: Helps achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity in men.
• Vaginal dryness: Relieves dryness of the vaginal tissue associated with menopause.
• Vaginal irritation and burning: Eases discomfort caused by thinning and reduced lubrication of the vaginal lining during menopause.
This combination contains two components intended for different uses and is prescribed according to individual patient needs, as directed by a doctor.
Headaches
Flushing of the skin
Nosebleeds
Upset stomach or indigestion
Dizziness
Estradiol + Sildenafil combines two separate actions to address erectile dysfunction and menopausal symptoms.
Estradiol is a form of oestrogen, a female sex hormone. When applied to vaginal tissue, it binds to oestrogen receptors, promoting maturation of the vaginal lining and increasing natural lubrication.
Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It blocks the PDE5 enzyme, which normally breaks down a substance called cGMP. This allows cGMP levels to rise, relaxing blood vessels in the penis and improving the blood flow needed for an erection.
Together, these two components work through independent mechanisms to manage erectile dysfunction in men and menopausal symptoms in women.
