Sildenafil, commonly known by its brand name Viagra, is a widely used medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). It belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Sildenafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping men achieve and maintain an erection when sexually aroused.
Take ONE tablet 30-60 minutes prior to any sexual activity. Do not exceed ONE dose daily.
Sildenafil works by preventing the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which increases levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), leading to relaxed blood vessels and increased blood flow in the penis. This enhanced blood flow helps achieve and maintain an erection during sexual arousal.

Sildenafil is highly effective for treating erectile dysfunction, with a success rate of about 70-80% in men. It usually starts working within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion and its effectiveness can last for up to four hours. The effectiveness can vary based on individual factors such as underlying health conditions, age, and overall health.
Sildenafil should be taken orally, about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. It can be taken with or without food, although a high-fat meal might delay its effectiveness. The typical starting dose is 50 mg, but your doctor may adjust the dose between 25 mg and 100 mg based on your response and tolerance. Do not take more than one dose in a 24-hour period. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions and not to exceed the prescribed dose.
Common side effects of sildenafil include headaches, flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion, dizziness, and visual disturbances such as a blue tinge to vision, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. If you experience severe side effects such as chest pain, sudden vision loss, or an erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism), seek medical attention immediately.
Sildenafil is not suitable for everyone. Do not take sildenafil if you:
Are taking nitrates for chest pain or heart problems, as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
– Have severe heart or liver problems.
– Have recently had a stroke or heart attack.
– Have certain rare inherited eye diseases (e.g., retinitis pigmentosa).
– Are allergic to sildenafil or any of its ingredients.
Moderate alcohol consumption is generally considered safe while taking sildenafil. However, excessive drinking can impair your ability to get an erection and may increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness or low blood pressure. To achieve the best results from sildenafil, it is advisable to limit your alcohol intake.
If sildenafil does not work for erectile dysfunction (ED), it could indicate underlying health issues, improper use, the need for dosage adjustment, psychological factors, or the potential need to try alternative treatments like other medications. Consulting our pharmacist is crucial to evaluate your health, adjust treatment if necessary, and explore other potential causes or solutions for ED.
