Product details

Sildenafil is the most studied erectile dysfunction treatment there is, with a track record that stretches back to the medicine that started it all. It belongs to a group of treatments that ease the muscle in blood vessel walls, allowing the rush of blood that produces and sustains an erection once arousal is present.

What men tend to value most is its predictability. Take it ahead of time, let arousal do its part, and the body responds the way it is meant to. There is no need for spontaneity to suffer; it simply restores a response that has become unreliable.

  • The best studied erectile dysfunction medicine available
  • Works with arousal, not instead of it
  • A confident, well understood first choice

It is available on prescription and must be kept well away from nitrate heart medicines, which it can interact with dangerously.

Take one tablet about thirty to sixty minutes before sex, with or without food. Do not exceed one dose in a day. The medicine supports a natural response rather than replacing the need for arousal.

Sildenafil citrate, the active ingredient.

Headache, warmth in the face, a blocked nose and mild indigestion are typical and brief. Prolonged erection and sudden vision or hearing changes are rare.

Must not be taken with nitrates, which risks a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Use caution with blood pressure medicines. An erection lasting over four hours or sudden sensory loss needs urgent care.
