🇮🇳 penetal 100mg/60mg tablet के बारे में (Hindi Summary)

उपयोग: यह दवा सिल्डेनाफिल 100 मिलीग्राम और डैपोक्सेटीन 60 मिलीग्राम का संयोजन है, जिसका उपयोग वयस्क पुरुषों में स्तंभन दोष (इरेक्टाइल डिसफंक्शन) और शीघ्रपतन (प्रीमैच्योर इजैकुलेशन) के इलाज के लिए किया जाता है। सिल्डेनाफिल लिंग में रक्त के प्रवाह को बढ़ाकर स्तंभन प्राप्त करने और बनाए रखने में मदद करता है, जबकि डैपोक्सेटीन मस्तिष्क में सेरोटोनिन के स्तर को बढ़ाकर स्खलन में देरी करता है। यह दवा यौन उत्तेजना के बिना काम नहीं करती और इसे केवल डॉक्टर की सलाह पर ही लेना चाहिए। इसे यौन गतिविधि से लगभग 1 से 3 घंटे पहले लिया जाता है और 24 घंटे में एक बार से अधिक नहीं लेना चाहिए। शराब, नाइट्रेट्स और कुछ अन्य दवाओं के साथ इसका सेवन खतरनाक हो सकता है।

साइड इफेक्ट्स: इस दवा के सामान्य दुष्प्रभावों में सिरदर्द, चक्कर आना, चेहरे पर लालिमा, नाक बंद होना, जी मिचलाना, मुँह सूखना और अपच शामिल हैं। गंभीर दुष्प्रभावों में दृष्टि का अचानक चले जाना, सुनने में कमी, लंबे समय तक बने रहने वाला दर्दनाक स्तंभन (प्रियापिज्म), बेहोशी और सेरोटोनिन सिंड्रोम शामिल हैं। यदि आपको 4 घंटे से अधिक समय तक स्तंभन बना रहता है, अचानक दृष्टि या सुनने में बदलाव होता है, या सीने में दर्द होता है, तो तुरंत डॉक्टर से संपर्क करें।

सुरक्षा सलाह: इस दवा को डॉक्टर के निर्देशानुसार ही लें। यौन गतिविधि से 1 से 3 घंटे पहले एक गोली पूरे पानी के साथ निगलें। 24 घंटे में एक से अधिक गोली न लें। शराब का सेवन बिल्कुल न करें क्योंकि इससे चक्कर आना, निम्न रक्तचाप और स्तंभन दोष बढ़ सकता है। नाइट्रेट्स या नाइट्रिक ऑक्साइड डोनर के साथ इसका सेवन न करें। अपने डॉक्टर को अपनी सभी दवाओं के बारे में बताएं। जब तक आपको पता न चले कि यह दवा आप पर कैसे असर करती है, तब तक वाहन न चलाएं। यदि आपको 4 घंटे से अधिक समय तक स्तंभन बना रहता है, बेहोशी आती है, या सीने में दर्द होता है, तो तुरंत चिकित्सा सहायता लें।

🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionSildenafil is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, with absolute bioavailability of approximately 40%. Dapoxetine is also rapidly absorbed, with absolute bioavailability of approximately 42%. Food may delay the absorption of both components, but does not significantly affect the extent of absorption.

DistributionSildenafil and dapoxetine are widely distributed in body tissues. Sildenafil has a volume of distribution of approximately 105 L at steady state. Dapoxetine has a volume of distribution of approximately 162 L. Both are highly protein-bound.

Protein BindingSildenafil is approximately 96% bound to plasma proteins. Dapoxetine is approximately 99% bound to plasma proteins.

MetabolismSildenafil is primarily metabolised by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C9, producing an active metabolite (N-desmethyl sildenafil) with about 50% of the potency of sildenafil. Dapoxetine is extensively metabolised by multiple CYP enzymes, including CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and CYP2B6, into inactive metabolites.

Half-LifeThe terminal half-life of sildenafil is approximately 4 hours. The initial half-life of dapoxetine is approximately 1.5 hours, and its terminal half-life is approximately 19 hours.

ExcretionSildenafil is excreted mainly in faeces (approximately 80%) and urine (approximately 13%) as metabolites. Dapoxetine is excreted mainly in urine (approximately 84%) and faeces (approximately 6%) as metabolites.

BioavailabilitySildenafil absolute bioavailability is approximately 40%. Dapoxetine absolute bioavailability is approximately 42%.

Onset of ActionSildenafil typically begins to work within 30 to 60 minutes after oral administration, but onset can be delayed by a heavy meal. Dapoxetine onset for delaying ejaculation is usually within 1 to 2 hours. The combination tablet is usually taken 1 to 3 hours before anticipated sexual activity.

Peak Plasma TimeSildenafil reaches peak plasma concentration in about 30 to 120 minutes (median 60 minutes) in the fasted state. Dapoxetine reaches peak plasma concentration in about 1 to 2 hours.

Duration of ActionSildenafil's effect on erection generally lasts for about 4 to 6 hours, but the ability to achieve an erection depends on sexual stimulation. Dapoxetine's effect on delaying ejaculation lasts for several hours, corresponding to its plasma levels.

How It Works

This medicine combines two active ingredients with distinct mechanisms. Sildenafil is a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). During sexual stimulation, nitric oxide is released in the corpus cavernosum, which increases cGMP and causes smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow into the penis. Sildenafil prevents the breakdown of cGMP, thereby enhancing and prolonging erection. Dapoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that increases serotonin levels in the synaptic cleft, which modulates the ejaculatory reflex and delays ejaculation. Together, these actions address erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation respectively.

Mechanism Steps

1

Sexual stimulation releases nitric oxide: During sexual arousal, nitric oxide is released from nerve endings and endothelial cells in the penis.

2

Nitric oxide increases cGMP: Nitric oxide activates guanylate cyclase, which increases cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels in the corpus cavernosum.

3

Sildenafil inhibits PDE5: Sildenafil blocks PDE5, the enzyme that breaks down cGMP, leading to higher cGMP levels and prolonged smooth muscle relaxation.

4

Increased penile blood flow: Relaxation of smooth muscle increases blood flow into the penis, producing an erection when sexual stimulation is present.

5

Dapoxetine inhibits serotonin reuptake: Dapoxetine blocks the serotonin transporter, increasing serotonin in the synaptic cleft.

6

Delayed ejaculation: Increased serotonin activity modulates the ejaculatory reflex, delaying ejaculation and improving control.
