Common use

Apcalis SX Oral Jelly is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult males. It is suitable for individuals who experience difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. It may also be used in cases where patients have swallowing difficulties or prefer a non-tablet option. Clinical use is supported by diagnostic confirmation of ED, and it is often prescribed when lifestyle modifications alone are insufficient.

Dosage and direction

The recommended dose is one 20mg sachet taken approximately 15–30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. Do not exceed one dose per 24-hour period. Tear open the sachet and squeeze the contents directly into the mouth. The jelly may be swallowed immediately or held in the mouth for faster absorption. It may be taken with or without food, though high-fat meals may delay onset. Do not combine with alcohol.

Drug interaction

Missed dose

Apcalis SX Oral Jelly is taken on an as-needed basis. There is no scheduled dosing regimen, so a “missed dose” does not apply. Do not take extra doses to compensate.

Overdose

Symptoms may include severe headache, profound hypotension, syncope, tachycardia, or prolonged erection. Management is supportive: maintain supine position, ensure adequate hydration, and provide symptomatic treatment. Hemodynamic support may be required in severe cases. Priapism warrants urgent urological intervention.

Storage

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep sachets in original packaging until use. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
