Sildebafil is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men aged 18 and older. It belongs to a class called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, which improve blood flow to the penis during sexual activity. It only helps when you are sexually stimulated and will not increase libido on its own.
During sexual stimulation, the body releases nitric oxide which then relaxes blood vessels in the penis. Sildenafil blocks PDE5, allowing it to persist longer and result in improved blood flow and erection maintenance.
For most men, the erection improvements appear in 30-60 minutes after taking the tablet. In some cases, effects may begin as little as 20 minutes. A high-fat meal may result in a delayed onset.
The effects of the tablet last up to 4 hours. It does not cause prolonged erections but improves the ability to achieve one during that window.
Studies show 70-80% of men experience significantly improved erections. Many men achieve reliable results after 1-2 attempts of use, and it is recommended to attempt repeated use to see full benefits.
Avoid using the pill or use caution if you suffer from any of the following conditions:
Heart disease or blood pressure issues
Liver or kidney disease
Retinitis pigmentosa
Have had a heart attack or stroke within the last six months
Hemophilia
Sickle cell anaemia or leukaemia
Have a physical deformity of the penis
Taking a nitrate drug as dangerously drop blood pressure
Taking riociguat
Take ritonavir or other HIV protease inhibitors
Allergic to Sildenafil or other inactive ingredients
Taking alpha-blockers
History of vision loss conditions
Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice as they can increase drug levels. Limit alcohol intake before sexual activity.
Recommended Dose:
Take one pill at least one hour before sexual intercourse. Some men will achieve results within 20 minutes of using the pill, while others may take one hour.
Maximum Frequency:
One dose per 24 hours. It is against recommended directives to take more than one Sildenafil within 24 hours.
Administration:
Swallow whole with water, and can be taken with or without food. However, fatty meals may slow absorption.
For it to be most effective, take Sildenafil on an empty stomach. Limit alcohol intake for best results.
Sildenafil tablet comes in strengths of 25mg, 50mg, or 100mg.
