Maxgun Sublingual Spray

Introduction

Maxgun Sublingual Spray is a prescription‑only medication formulated for the rapid treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men living in the United Kingdom. The spray delivers the active compound sildenafil as an oral spray that is absorbed through the mucous membrane under the tongue. As a member of the erectile‑dysfunction therapeutic group, it is designed to improve the ability to achieve and maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. In addition to its primary indication, sildenafil has recognised secondary uses in pulmonary arterial hypertension, although the sublingual spray formulation is licensed principally for ED.

What is Maxgun Sublingual Spray?

Maxgun Sublingual Spray is a single‑dose, metered‑spray device containing sildenafil oral spray. The product belongs to the phosphodiesterase‑type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class and is manufactured for the UK market to meet the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) standards for safety, efficacy and quality. The spray formulation is intended for sublingual administration, allowing the drug to dissolve on the ventral surface of the tongue and enter the systemic circulation without first‑pass metabolism.

The medication is supplied in a sealed, counter‑balanced canister that delivers a pre‑measured amount of spray (typically 2.5 mg, 5 mg or 10 mg per actuation). The Works

Sildenafil blocks the enzyme phosphodiesterase‑type 5, which normally degrades cyclic guanosine monophosphate (c MP) in the smooth muscle cells of the corpus cavernosum. During sexual stimulation, nitric oxide released from nerve endings stimulates the production of cG MP, leading to smooth‑muscle relaxation, increased arterial inflow erection. By inhibiting PDE5, sildenafil sustains higher levels of cG MP, prolonging vasodilation and facilitating erectile response.

The sublingual route bypasses hepatic first‑pass metabolism, resulting in a faster onset of action—usually 5 to 15 minutes after administration—compared with oral tablets that typically require 30 to 60 minutes. Peak plasma concentrations are reached within 30 minutes, and therapeutic effects can last up to 4 hours, though individual response varies with age, comorbidities and concomitant medications.

Conditions Treated with Maxgun Sublingual Spray

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED) – The primary approved indication. In the UK, ED affects an estimated 20 % of men aged 40–70, with prevalence increasing with age and comorbid cardiovascular disease. Sildenafil improves erectile function by enhancing the physiological pathway that leads to erection, offering a reliable pharmacologic option when lifestyle modifications or psychological interventions are insufficient.

• Off‑label use in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) – While the sublingual spray is not licensed for PAH, the same active compound, sildenafil, is approved in tablet form for this condition. Clinicians occasionally consider the spray in specialist settings where rapid systemic absorption is advantageous, but such use must follow strict regulatory guidance.

Who is Maxgun Sublingual Spray For?

Maxgun Subling Spray is suitable for adult men who:

• Have a confirmed diagnosis of erectile dysfunction that persists for at three months.
• Are able to achieve sexual stimulation, as sildenafil only facilitates the physiological response to arousal.
• Do not have contraindications such as concurrent nitrate therapy, severe hypotension (systolic < 90 mmHg), recent myocardial infarction, or a history of non‑arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuritis.

The medication is also appropriate for patients who require a rapid onset of action—e.g., those who prefer spontaneous sexual activity without the timing constraints of oral tablets.

Conversely, the spray is not recommended for:

Men taking nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin) or nitric‑oxide donors, because the combination can cause profound hypotension.

• Individuals with severe hepatic or renal impairment (Child‑Pugh C, estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min) without specialist supervision.
• Patients with known hypersensitivity to sildenafil or any excipients in the spray)
• Transient visual disturbances (e.g., blurring, colour tinge)

These events are usually mild, self‑limiting, and resolve without medical intervention.

Rare

• Priapism (erection lasting > 4 hours) – requires emergency care to prevent permanent tissue damage.
• Auditory loss or sudden decrease in hearing – uncommon but reported; urgent evaluation is advised.
• Cardiovascular events such as angina or arrhythmia in patients with underlying heart disease.

Serious

• Severe hypotension, especially when combined with nitrates or potent alpha‑blockers.
• Myocardial infarction stroke in patients with uncontrolled cardiovascular risk factors.
• Anactic reaction to any component of the spray (very rare).

Drug–Drug Interactions

• Nitrates (e.g., glyceryl trinitrate, isosorbide dinitrate): synergistic vasodilation → contraindicated.
• Alpha‑blockers (e.g., tamsulosin, doxazosin): may cause additive blood‑pressure lowering; start with the lowest sildenafil dose and monitor.
• CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir): increase sildenafil plasma levels → dose reduction recommended.
• CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine): reduce efficacy → consider alternative therapy.

Patients should disclose all prescribed, over‑the‑counter and herbal medicines to their prescriber before initiating therapy.

Practical Use: Dosing, Missed Dose, Overdose

-Standard dosing**: The usual starting dose for sildenafil oral spray is 2.5 mg to 5 mg administered sublingually 30 minutes before anticipated sexual activity. The dose may be increased to a maximum of 10 mg per occasion, not exceeding 20 mg within a 24‑hour period.

• Administration: Instruct the patient to tilt the head back slightly, keep the mouth closed, and avoid swallowing for at 30 seconds to allow complete muc absorption. Do not eat or drink (especially alcohol or fatty meals) within 30 minutes before or after dosing, as this can delay onset.

• Missed dose: Because the drug is taken only as needed, there is no “missed dose” schedule. If an erection occurs spontaneously, the spray should not be used.

• Overdose: Symptoms may include severe hypotension, prolonged erection, dizziness, and visual disturbances. If overdose is suspected, seek emergency medical care. Supportive measures such as fluid resuscitation and blood‑pressure monitoring are standard.

• Special precautions: Patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child‑Pugh B) should begin with 2.5 mg and may require dose adjustments. Elderly patients (≥ 65 Spray can be obtained safely through our online pharmacy in the UK.

FAQ

• Is Maxgun Sublingual Spray available in both brand‑name and generic forms in the UK?
  Yes. The spray is sold under the brand name Maxgun and also as generic sildenafil oral spray produced by several licensed manufacturers. All versions contain the same active ingredient and are required to meet identical MHRA standards.

• What is the optimal storage condition for the sublingual spray?
  Store the canister at a controlled room temperature between 15 °C and 30 °C, protected from direct sunlight, excessive heat and humidity. Do not refrigerate, as low temperatures may affect the spray mechanism.

• Can Maxgun Sublingual Spray be taken with alcohol?
  Moderate alcohol consumption (up to two standard drinks) does not usually interfere with efficacy, but excessive intake can impair judgement, increase the risk of hypotension and lessen the drug’s benefit. Patients are advised to limit alcohol before sexual activity.

• How does the sublingual spray differ from the traditional tablet formulation?
  The spray bypasses first‑pass hepatic metabolism, leading to a faster (5–15 minutes) and slightly lower variability in plasma levels. Tablets generally require 30–60 minutes before an erection can be achieved.

• Are there any dietary restrictions when using Maxgun Sublingual Spray?
  High‑fat meals can delay absorption of oral sildenafil tablets, but the sublingual spray is less affected. Nevertheless, it is prudent to avoid very large or greasy meals immediately before dosing to minimise any potential delay.

• Is the spray suitable for men with diabetes?
  Men with diabetes often experience ED, and sildenafil is effective in this population. However, those with uncontrolled blood glucose or concomitant cardiovascular disease should discuss dose adjustments with their clinician.

• What are the legal considerations for importing Maxgun Sublingual Spray for personal use?
  Under UK law, individuals may import a three‑month supply of prescription‑only medicines for personal use, provided they hold a valid prescription from a UK‑registered prescriber. Our online service facilitates compliant importation through licensed pharmacies.

• Does Maxgun Sublingual Spray affect drug testing for employment or sport?
  Sildenafil is not a prohibited substance on standard workplace drug screens. It is also not listed by the World Anti‑Doping Agency (WADA); however, athletes should verify specific sport‑related regulations.

• Can the spray be used by men with a penile prosthesis?
  Sildenafil is not required for erections in men with a functional penile prosthesis, and use is generally unnecessary. If a man retains some natural erectile function and desires occasional pharmacologic assistance, he should consult his urologist.

• What inactive ingredients are present in the spray formulation?
  The vehicle typically contains ethanol, propylene glycol, flavoring agents, and purified water. These excipients aid in solubilising sildenafil and ensuring a pleasant mouthfeel. Patients known sensitivities to any of these components should notify their prescriber.

• Is there a risk of tolerance developing with regular use?
  Clinical evidence does not support the development of pharmacologic tolerance to sildenafil with regular intermittent use. Nonetheless, patients should avoid daily dosing without medical supervision, as safety data for continuous daily administration of the sublingual spray are limited.

First‑pass metabolism

The rapid uptake and biotransformation of a drug by the liver after oral ingestion, which can reduce the amount of active compound reaching systemic circulation.

Priapism

A prolonged, often painful erection lasting more than four hours, unrelated to sexual stimulation and considered a medical emergency.

CYP3A4

A liver enzyme responsible for metabolising many medications, including sildenafil; inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 can markedly alter drug levels.
