Description of Sildenafil
Sildenafil for Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) also known as impotence is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection for a duration long enough required for sexual activity. There are various causes, the most common being due to the narrowing of arteries that carry blood to the penis. It is a very common condition (affects around 1 in 10 men), however, it is easily treatable.
There are several factors that may be responsible for ED, or impotence, in men. It is more prevalent in men over 40, however, can affect men of any age. The other factors or conditions that may cause ED are conditions such as diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure, obesity, stress, depression, altered hormone levels as well as difficulties in relationships. The underlying causes can be either psychological, physical or certain medications.

Sildenafil is one of the most popular ED medications, that contains the active ingredient Sildenafil which belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors (PDE5) inhibitors.

Sildenafil can help to achieve an erection in the presence of sexual stimuli, it is not an aphrodisiac.

How does Sildenafil work?
Sildenafil works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing more blood to flow into the organ. This increased blood flow causes the penis to become engorged, resulting in an erection.
What happens when you take Sildenafil?
Sildenafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis, which helps to achieve and maintain an erection. The drug does not cause an erection on its own – sexual stimulation is required for the medication to work. When sexually aroused, the blood vessels in the penis relax and widen, allowing more blood to flow into the penis.
Can you take other medications with Sildenafil?
Sildenafil should not be taken with certain other medications due to the risk of drug interactions. Be sure to tell your doctor about all the medications you take before taking Sildenafil.
