Who qualifies for Sildenafil

Your EU-licensed doctor carefully assesses your medical history to ensure Sildenafil is safe and appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including a confirmed diagnosis of erectile dysfunction and no contraindications. Key factors considered include your overall health, existing medical conditions, and any other medications you are currently taking. This ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Sildenafil actually does (and doesn't do)

Sildenafil, widely known as Viagra, treats erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow to the penis. It is a PDE5 inhibitor, meaning it helps relax the blood vessels in the penis, allowing for a stronger erection when sexually stimulated. Sildenafil does not create sexual arousal; it only assists in maintaining an erection once arousal occurs. Effects typically begin within 30-60 minutes and last for about 4 hours.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally well-tolerated, Sildenafil can cause side effects. Common ones include headaches and facial flushing, as well as indigestion, nasal congestion, and dizziness. These are usually mild and temporary. However, certain symptoms are red flags: chest pain, sudden vision or hearing loss, or an erection lasting longer than 4 hours (priapism). If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, stop taking Sildenafil immediately and seek urgent medical attention. Always follow your doctor's advice.
