Malegra 150 contains 150mg of Sildenafil Citrate, the active ingredient also found in Viagra. This higher dosage may be suitable for individuals who haven’t experienced satisfactory results with lower dosages or those needing stronger erectile support. Always consult a doctor before using Malegra 150 or any medication for erectile dysfunction.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended starting dose is typically 50mg, taken as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. Your doctor might adjust this based on your individual response and overall health. Never exceed the maximum recommended dose without medical supervision.
Important Considerations:
- Alcohol interaction: Combining Malegra 150 with alcohol can increase the risk of side effects. Limit alcohol consumption while taking this medication.
- Grapefruit juice: Avoid grapefruit juice as it can interfere with the metabolism of Sildenafil Citrate.
- Pre-existing conditions: Inform your doctor about any heart conditions, liver or kidney problems, or blood pressure issues before using Malegra 150.

Interactions with Other Medications and Substances
Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and recreational drugs, before starting Malegra 150. This includes nitrates, commonly used to treat angina (chest pain). Combining Malegra 150 with nitrates can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Alpha-blockers, often prescribed for high blood pressure or enlarged prostate, may also interact negatively with Malegra 150, potentially leading to significantly low blood pressure. Discuss this interaction with your physician before concurrent use.
Certain antifungal medications, such as ketoconazole and itraconazole, can increase Malegra 150’s concentration in your bloodstream, potentially resulting in intensified side effects. Your doctor should monitor you carefully if you need to use both.
Grapefruit juice inhibits the enzymes that metabolize Malegra 150, leading to higher blood levels of the medication. Avoid grapefruit juice while taking Malegra 150.
Alcohol consumption can exacerbate Malegra 150’s side effects, especially dizziness and lightheadedness. Limit or avoid alcohol while using this medication.
