Sildenafil

Uses

Sildenafil is used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

How it Works

How Sildenafil works Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor. It functions by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, which increases blood flow during sexual stimulation. This process helps you achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Sildenafil include headache, nosebleeds, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), erythema (skin redness), nasal congestion (stuffy nose), dizziness, nausea, dyspepsia, hot flushes, shortness of breath, and visual disturbances.

Expert Advice

  • You have been prescribed Sildenafil for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
  • It is best to take it an hour before sexual intercourse.
  • However, you can take it anytime between 30 minutes and 4 hours before sexual activity.
  • Do not take it more than once a day.
  • Seek medical attention if the erection persists for more than 4 hours after sexual intercourse.
  • Do not use Sildenafil if you have recently taken nitrates (medications used for angina or chest pain).
  • Do not take it if you have had a heart attack in the past 3 months, or a stroke or heart failure in the past 6 months.
