What Is Malegra FXT Plus?
Malegra FXT Plus is a combination tablet containing sildenafil citrate 100 mg and fluoxetine 60 mg. Sildenafil is a PDE5 inhibitor used for erectile dysfunction (ED), while fluoxetine is an SSRI that has been used off-label in the management of premature ejaculation (PE). By bringing these two active ingredients together, the product is intended for men whose sexual-health concerns involve both erection difficulties and ejaculation control.
Because sildenafil and fluoxetine have different mechanisms and pharmacological profiles, they should not be viewed as two medicines that produce the same effect. Sildenafil supports the physical process involved in achieving an erection during sexual stimulation, whereas fluoxetine affects serotonin signalling and may influence ejaculation timing. The appropriate use of this combination depends on individual health needs, existing medicines and professional medical advice.
How Does Malegra FXT Plus Work?
Malegra FXT Plus contains two active ingredients with different actions.
Sildenafil
Sildenafil helps relax the blood vessels involved in penile erection by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme. This supports increased blood flow to the penis when a man is sexually stimulated. Sildenafil does not produce an automatic erection, so sexual stimulation is still required.
Fluoxetine
Fluoxetine changes the activity of serotonin, a chemical messenger in the nervous system. SSRIs such as fluoxetine can delay ejaculation and have been studied as an off-label option for premature ejaculation.
This means the combination addresses two separate aspects of sexual function rather than one ingredient performing both roles.
What Is Malegra FXT Plus Used For?
Malegra FXT Plus is associated to manage erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.
Erectile dysfunction refers to difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection suitable for sexual activity. Premature ejaculation involves ejaculation sooner than desired, often with limited control and associated personal or relationship distress.
Having both concerns does not automatically mean that a combination product is appropriate. A healthcare professional can determine whether the formulation, strength and individual medical history are suitable.
Benefits of Malegra FXT Plus
The main reason for combining these ingredients is their different effects:
- Sildenafil 100 mg supports the erectile response by improving blood flow during sexual stimulation.
- Fluoxetine 60 mg may help delay ejaculation through its effects on serotonin signalling.
- A single formulation contains both active ingredients for men whose treatment plan addresses these two concerns.
The expected response can differ between individuals, and fluoxetine’s role in ejaculation control should not be confused with the immediate action expected from an ED medicine.
Malegra FXT Plus Dosage
Malegra FXT Plus contains a relatively high-strength sildenafil component together with fluoxetine. The appropriate dose and frequency should therefore be determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on your medical history, current ED pills and treatment needs.
Do not take more tablets than prescribed or use another sildenafil-containing medicine at the same time.
How to Take Malegra FXT Plus
Follow the prescribed schedule consistently rather than adjusting the dose on your own.
- Swallow the tablet whole with water, following the dose and timing advised by your prescriber or pharmacist.
- Sildenafil is usually taken before anticipated sexual activity and works only when sexual stimulation is present.
- Avoid heavy or high-fat meals around the time of taking the tablet, as they may delay sildenafil absorption.
- Do not take an extra tablet if the effect is not noticed immediately, as this can increase the risk of unwanted effects.
Missed Dose
If Malegra FXT Plus has been prescribed on a regular schedule and you miss a dose, follow your prescriber’s instructions. Do not double the next dose to make up for the missed tablet.
Overdose
Taking more than the recommended amount can increase the risk of serious adverse reactions. If you have taken too much Malegra FXT Plus, seek prompt medical advice rather than waiting for symptoms to appear.
Side Effects of Malegra FXT Plus
Like other erectile dysfunction medicines, Malegra FXT Plus can cause unwanted effects. They may vary depending on individual health and response to the ingredients.

Drug Interactions
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines, vitamins, supplements and herbal products you use before taking Malegra FXT Plus.
| Medicine or Product | Why It Matters |
| Nitrates | Sildenafil can cause a significant drop in blood pressure when combined with nitrate medicines. |
| Riociguat | Combining it with sildenafil may produce an unsafe reduction in blood pressure. |
| Other ED medicines or PDE5 inhibitors | Using more than one ED medicine may increase the risk of unwanted effects and should only be considered with medical advice. |
| MAO inhibitors | Fluoxetine can interact seriously with MAO inhibitors; appropriate separation between treatments is required. |
| Other serotonergic medicines | Combining fluoxetine with medicines that increase serotonin may raise the risk of serotonin-related adverse effects. |
| Medicines affecting sildenafil metabolism | Some medicines can change sildenafil levels in the body, which may alter its effects or side-effect risk. |
Always provide your prescriber or pharmacist with a complete list of your current medicines before starting treatment.

FAQs
How Long Does Malegra FXT Plus Take to Work?
Sildenafil may begin to support an erection relatively soon after a dose when sexual stimulation is present. The timing can vary based on factors such as food intake and individual response. Fluoxetine works differently and its effect on ejaculation is associated with continued treatment rather than a rapid single-dose response.
How Long Does Malegra FXT Plus Last?
There is no single duration that applies to both ingredients. Sildenafil has a shorter active period, during which sexual stimulation is still required for an erectile response. Fluoxetine remains in the body much longer, so its effects should not be described as having the same fixed duration as sildenafil.
Can Malegra FXT Plus be taken every day?
Do not establish a daily schedule yourself. The appropriate frequency depends on why it has been prescribed, your health and the medicines you take.
Can Malegra FXT Plus be taken with Viagra?
No. Viagra also contains sildenafil. Combining the two can unnecessarily increase sildenafil exposure and the risk of adverse effects unless a healthcare professional specifically instructs you otherwise.
What is the difference between Malegra FXT and Malegra FXT Plus?
The listed difference is the fluoxetine strength. Malegra FXT Plus contains 60 mg of fluoxetine, while Malegra FXT contains 40 mg, with both listed as containing 100 mg sildenafil.
