Sildenafil helps improve erections by increasing blood flow to the penis.
- It does this by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5). PDE5 normally breaks down cGMP, a chemical that relaxes the muscles in the penis, allowing blood to flow in. By blocking PDE5, Sildenafil allows cGMP levels to remain high, promoting relaxation and improved blood flow.
This increased blood flow results in a firmer, longer-lasting erection during sexual stimulation.
Take Sildenafil as directed by your doctor. The usual dose is 50mg, taken about 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Dosage may be adjusted based on individual needs and response.
Remember, Sildenafil only works with sexual stimulation. It doesn’t cause an erection on its own.
- Consult your doctor before taking Sildenafil, especially if you have heart problems, low blood pressure, or take other medications. Side effects are possible, and you should report any concerns to your physician.
