Sildenafil Citrate Overview
Sildenafil is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). As the active ingredient in Viagra, it has helped millions of men worldwide regain confidence and improve their sexual health discreetly and effectively.
What Is Sildenafil Used For?
Sildenafil works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. It does not cause spontaneous erections — sexual arousal is still required for the medication to work.
