Who qualifies for Sildenafil

When you complete your medical questionnaire, our EU-licensed doctors assess your eligibility for Sildenafil. They look for specific criteria to ensure your safety and the medication's effectiveness. Generally, Sildenafil is prescribed for adult men experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED).

Key factors the doctor considers include your overall health, existing medical conditions (especially heart problems, high or low blood pressure, liver or kidney disease), and any medications you currently take. Sildenafil is not suitable for everyone, particularly those taking nitrate medications for chest pain, as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Your accurate medical history helps the doctor determine if Sildenafil is a safe and appropriate treatment for you.

What Sildenafil actually does (and doesn't do)

Sildenafil, widely known as Viagra, treats erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow to the penis. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called PDE5. This allows a natural chemical (cGMP) to build up, relaxing blood vessels in the penis. The result? Easier blood flow, helping you achieve and maintain an erection when you are sexually stimulated.

It's crucial to understand that Sildenafil does not automatically cause an erection. Sexual stimulation is still required. Sildenafil simply enhances your body's natural response to arousal. Its effects typically begin within 30 to 60 minutes and can last for about 4 to 6 hours. This means you will be able to achieve an erection more easily during this window, not that you will have a continuous erection.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Sildenafil can cause side effects. Most are mild and temporary. Common side effects include:

• Headache
• Flushing (redness of the face)
• Nasal congestion
• Visual disturbances (e.g., blurred vision, sensitivity to light, or a temporary blue tint to vision)

If you experience any severe side effects, such as chest pain, sudden vision or hearing loss, or an erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism), seek immediate medical attention. These are rare but serious. Always follow your doctor's instructions and stop taking Sildenafil if you experience concerning symptoms.
