What is Nipatra?

Nipatra is a treatment for men with erectile dysfunction, sometimes known as impotence. Nipatra is different from other erectile dysfunction medication as it designed to be chewable, which is ideal for patients who dislike swallowing tablets. Nipatra contains sildenafil, the same active ingredient as Viagra.

What is Sildenafil?

Sildenafil belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by helping to relax the blood vessels in your penis, allowing blood to flow into your penis when you get sexually excited. Sildenafil will only help you to get an erection if you are sexually stimulated. You should not take sildenafil if you do not have erectile dysfunction. You should not take sildenafil if you are a woman.

Choosing the Correct Dosage

The recommended starting dose for sildenafil is one 50mg tablet taken 1 hour before sexual activity. If you achieve the desired effect but are suffering from side effects, try lowering the dose to 25mg. If after trying 50mg tablets four times without the desired effect, and you are not experiencing side effects, increase the dose to 100mg. If after trying 100mg 8 separate times without effect you should cease treatment and consult your doctor. You should not take sildenafil more than once a day as this will not increase the effectiveness and may increase the likelihood of experiencing side effects.

Alternatives to Nipatra

Counselling

For many men suffering from erectile dysfunction the primary cause may be related to psychological issues and not physical ones.

In these cases, counselling can prove to be a very effective form of treatment. Talking with a mental health professional will help to address issues of stress, anxiety or depression, which can all contribute to erectile dysfunction. For further information contact your GP.
