Sildenafil

Sildenafil is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction. Commonly sold under the brand name Viagra, it helps many men worldwide achieve stronger erections. With its fast onset of action and straightforward dosing, millions in Europe trust Sildenafil to improve their sex lives.

Sildenafil works by increasing blood flow to the genitals when you’re sexually aroused. It does this by widening blood vessels and relaxing muscle tissues in the penis, which makes it easier to get and maintain an erection.

Contrary to popular belief, Sildenafil doesn’t automatically trigger an erection. It only works in response to sexual stimulation. This means you should only feel the effects when you need to.

Clinical trials have found Sildenafil to help up to 82% of men with erectile dysfunction achieve an erection within 45 minutes.

Here are the full results of this study:

• 71% of patients achieved an erection within 30 minutes.
• 82% of patients achieved an erection within 45 minutes.
• The average time erections lasted was around 20 minutes.

Usually, you should feel the effects of Sildenafil within 30-60 minutes of taking your tablet, with effects peaking at 1-2 hours.

This is the average effect. However, a few things can make it work faster or slower:

• Food: Taking Sildenafil on an empty stomach can help it work more quickly, while taking it after eating a heavy meal can make it take longer.
• Alcohol: Large amounts of alcohol can delay the effects of Sildenafil, reduce blood flow, and make it less effective.
• Age: It may take longer for older men to feel the effects due to slower metabolism and reduced blood flow.

Sildenafil should last for around 4 hours. You can have sex multiple times during this period, and it will be just as effective as the first time.

If the effects last longer than 4 hours, or you experience an erection that doesn’t go down, seek immediate medical help.

To be prescribed Sildenafil, you must be over 18 years old and suffer from erectile dysfunction.

Do not take Sildenafil if you have:

• An allergy to sildenafil citrate
• A severe heart or liver problem
• Low blood pressure
• Recently had a stroke or heart attack

Sildenafil does not typically raise blood pressure. In fact, studies show it will likely lower blood pressure, since it relaxes and widens blood vessels.

For this reason, a doctor may not prescribe Sildenafil to men currently taking nitrates or other medications that can lower blood pressure. Remember to tell your doctor about any other medicines you take in your consultation to ensure safety.
