100% Online — No Office Visit Required
Sildenafil is the generic form of Viagra and one of the most prescribed medications for erectile dysfunction worldwide. It works within 30–60 minutes and lasts 4–6 hours.
What Is Sildenafil?
Sildenafil is a PDE5 inhibitor that relaxes smooth muscle in the penile vasculature, increasing blood flow during sexual stimulation. It does not cause erections without arousal.
What It May Help With
Sildenafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction — difficulty achieving or maintaining erections sufficient for sexual activity.
Who May Be a Candidate
Sildenafil is appropriate for most men with ED who don't have contraindications (notably, men on nitrates cannot use PDE5 inhibitors). Provider review confirms safety.
