Description of Eropid

Eropid (Sildenafil) for Erectile Dysfunction

Eropid is an erectile dysfunction (ED) medication. ED, also known as impotence, is the condition that affects a man's ability to achieve or maintain a suitable erection for sexual activity. While ED can affect men in different ways, it will usually present as a difficulty in becoming suitably erect due to the vasoconstriction of the blood vessels in the penis.  

ED affects many men of different ages, however, it is most common in men over 40. It can also be associated with specific medical conditions such as obesity, heart problems, diabetes and stress.

 

What is Eropid and how does it work?

Eropid contains the same active ingredient as Viagra, known as Sildenafil. Eropid, however, is not a prescription medication and can be purchased over the counter.

The active ingredient sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor medicine that temporarily increases the blood flow to the penis when you get sexually excited. This medicine will only work if the male is properly stimulated and aroused.
