What is Sildenafil used for?
Sildenafil is the generic equivalent of Viagra. It is prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction or ED in men. It helps to achieve and maintain erections when combined with sexual stimulation. It cannot prevent sexually transmitted infections. It is still recommended that you practice safe sex including using condoms.
Sildenafil Information
Sildenafil dosage
Sildenafil is taken orally with water at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. It does not need to be taken with food but low fat meals will help the medicine work more quickly.
The ideal time to take it is 1 hour before the effect is needed. If you wait too long (4 hours or more) you may miss the window of opportunity to see the best results. Taking more than one dose a day is not recommended.
Your dose is based on your history of treatment and the severity of treatment. Do not take extra doses or a stronger dose expecting better results. If you do not notice an improvement with your ED after using this medication properly, call your doctor so they can access your condition and modify your treatment plan.
How Sildenafil works
Sildenafil helps to treat ED by increasing blood flow to the penis by widening the blood vessels. This effect helps to produce erections and keep it erect during coitus. This can help prevent and treat hypertension (high blood pressure).
