Used For:

Silo M Tablets typically contain a combination of two active ingredients: sildenafil (50mg) and metformin (1000mg). This combination is unusual, as sildenafil is primarily used for erectile dysfunction (ED) and metformin is used for type 2 diabetes. However, some studies and clinical practices have explored combining these drugs for potential benefits in specific patient populations, such as men with both ED and type 2 diabetes.

1. Sildenafil

   • Treats erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping to achieve and maintain an erection.

2. Metformin 

   • Treats type 2 diabetes by improving blood sugar control. It works by decreasing glucose production in the liver and increasing insulin sensitivity.

Side Effects:

Sildenafil:

• Common: Headache, flushing, upset stomach, nasal congestion, dizziness, vision changes (e.g., increased sensitivity to light, blurred vision), back pain, muscle pain.
• Serious (seek medical attention): Sudden vision loss, sudden hearing loss or ringing in the ears, chest pain, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness or fainting, painful or prolonged erection lasting more than 4 hours, allergic reactions.

Metformin:

• Common: Nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea, weakness, metallic taste.
• Serious (seek medical attention): Lactic acidosis (symptoms include muscle pain, weakness, trouble breathing, stomach pain, dizziness, feeling cold, or slow/irregular heartbeat), allergic reactions.

Precautions:

• Allergies: Inform your doctor if you have any known allergies to sildenafil, metformin, or any other components of Silo M Tablets.
• Medical History: Provide a complete medical history, especially if you have heart problems, high or low blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, dehydration, penis conditions (for sildenafil), or metabolic acidosis (for metformin).
• Medications: Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, and herbal supplements. Sildenafil can interact with nitrates and alpha-blockers, while metformin can interact with various medications affecting kidney function.
• Alcohol: Limit alcohol consumption, as it can increase the risk of side effects such as lactic acidosis with metformin and dizziness with sildenafil.
• Driving and Operating Machinery: Both medications can cause dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how the combination affects you.
• Diet and Lifestyle: Maintain a proper diet and exercise regimen as recommended by your healthcare provider. Metformin should be taken with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects.
• Regular Monitoring: Regular blood sugar monitoring and periodic liver and kidney function tests are essential while taking this combination.
