Malegra FXT Plus is a combination medication that contains Sildenafil (for erectile dysfunction) and Fluoxetine (for premature ejaculation and also used in treating depression and anxiety). Heart medications can interact with this combination, especially because Sildenafil (a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor) affects the cardiovascular system, while Fluoxetine (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, or SSRI) can influence heart rate and rhythm. Here’s when and how Malegra FXT Plus may interact with heart medications: 1. Sildenafil and Heart Medications Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Malegra FXT Plus, works by relaxing the blood vessels and improving blood flow, primarily to the penis. It also causes a temporary drop in blood pressure. This can interact with heart medications in the following ways: Nitrates Malegra FXT Plus should never be taken with nitrates (medications used to treat angina or chest pain), such as nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, or any other form of nitrate medication. Why: Combining sildenafil with nitrates can cause a severe and dangerous drop in blood pressure, which can lead to fainting, heart attack, or even death. This is because both medications relax blood vessels, but in a way that results in dangerously low blood pressure.
