Silagro syrup contains sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It increases blood flow in certain parts of the body. The syrup suits people who cannot swallow tablets. In this article, you will learn how it works, its uses, side effects, and precautions.
Ingredients
Each ml contains 10 mg of sildenafil.
Dosage
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribes. Use the measuring syringe or cup.
How Does Silagro Syrup Work?
Sildenafil blocks the enzyme PDE5, which breaks down a chemical called cGMP. With more cGMP, the smooth muscle in blood vessel walls relaxes and the vessels widen. This increases blood flow to the penis and to the lungs.
Uses of Silagro Syrup
- Erectile dysfunction (ED), which means trouble getting or keeping an erection
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), by relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs
- Raynaud’s phenomenon, as an off-label use
Side Effects of Silagro Syrup
- Headache

Precautions
- Never take it with nitrates (such as nitroglycerin), because this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
- Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, low blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, or an eye condition such as retinitis pigmentosa.
- Seek emergency help if you have an erection that lasts more than four hours, sudden vision loss, or sudden hearing loss.
- Tell your doctor about all medicines you take, including riociguat and alpha-blockers.
- Ask a doctor before giving it to a child.
Overdose and Missed Dose
If you take more than the prescribed dose, call your doctor or go to the nearest hospital, because an overdose can cause serious problems.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Never take a double dose to make up for it.
