What is Regalis used to treat?
Regalis is approved for the treatment of
(erectyle dysfunction) in men who experience difficulty
having and maintaining an erection.
How does Regalis work?
Regalis works by helping the body allow an
increase of blood flow to the penis to create and
maintain an erection. After sexual activity is completed
the erection goes away.
How is Regalis different from the other
currently available FDA approved ED medications?
Regalis is different from other prescription ED
medications in that it stays in your system up to 36 hours,
versus 6 or 12. This might help in making sexual
experiences less planned and more spontaneous.
How do I take Regalis?
Regalis is taken orally. Regalis should not be
taken
more than once daily. Regalis may be taken with
or
without food. In some patients, the dose
strength
and maximum frequency of use may vary. It is
advisable
to consult with your health care
provider/physician
for details.
What should I talk to my doctor about when
considering
Regalis?
Patients with heart problems or who are taking
medications
for heart condtions should not take Regalis
without
the consent of their physician. Tell your health
care
provider about all medications you take and
conditions
you have, including (but not limited to)
diabetes
and high blood pressure.
Who should not take Regalis?
Regalis should not be used by patients taking
nitrates
(such as nitroglycerin tablets or patches) or
any
alpha blocker other than FLOMAX 0.4mg daily. The
combination
could lead to lowered blood pressure, resulting
in
fainting and even death.
Can Regalis be used in combination with other
ED
treatments or medications?
No. There have been no studies on the safety and
effectiveness
of combing Regalis with other ED treatments or
medications.
Combing treatments could lower blood pressure to
unsafe
and even fatal levels and is strongly not
recommended.
What if I am taking other drugs?
ALWAYS tell your health care provider about the
medications
you are taking (both prescription and over the
counter)
so that they may prevent serious interactions.
Patients
taking any form of nitroglycerin and most
alpha-blockers,
other than FLOMAX should NOT take Regalis. The
combination
may lower blood pressure to an unsafe level.
