Fildena contains sildenafil, which is metabolized mainly in the liver and partly excreted by the kidneys. In people with normal or mildly reduced kidney function, dose adjustment is usually not needed. However, how your kidneys are functioning matters. When It Should Be Avoided or Used Very Carefully Severe Renal Impairment If your creatinine clearance is <30?mL/min (severe kidney disease), sildenafil stays in your body longer, increasing drug levels and risk of side effects. In these cases, doctors often recommend a much FILDENA starting dose (e.g., 25?mg) or avoiding high doses like standard Fildena doses unless you’re closely monitored. End?Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) / Dialysis People on dialysis or with end?stage kidney disease should be cautious. Some specialists suggest avoiding sildenafil around dialysis sessions due to its blood?pressure effects, and starting at a lower dose rather than typical amounts. Concurrent Medications or Conditions If you take certain blood pressure?lowering drugs (e.g., nitrates) or have conditions that make sudden blood pressure drops dangerous, these together with kidney disease increase risk further. Fildena should be avoided in those situations altogether. What Doctors Usually Do For mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30–80?mL/min): – Often no change in dose is required, but sometimes a lower starting dose is chosen to be safe. For severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30?mL/min) or ESRD: – Lower dose (e.g., 25?mg) and careful monitoring are recommended, or the drug should be avoided until a doctor confirms safety. People with mild/moderate kidney disease may often take Fildena with medical guidance. People with severe kidney disease (very low creatinine clearance), on dialysis, or with related heart?pressure issues should avoid regular doses or use it only under strict doctor supervision.
