    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.

    Does sildenafil work for everyone?

    Sildenafil is effective for approximately 70–80% of men with ED. Some men with severe vascular disease or other underlying causes may respond better to higher doses or different medications.
