What Are Sildenafil Tablets?
Sildenafil Tablets are a prescription treatment for erectile dysfunction in adult men. Each film-coated tablet contains sildenafil, a medicine that helps improve blood flow to the penis. It only works when you are sexually aroused.
What Are Sildenafil Tablets Used For?
Sildenafil is prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence. It helps you:
— Get and maintain a firm erection during sexual activity
— Boost sexual confidence in men with performance issues
How Do Sildenafil Tablets Work?
Sildenafil blocks a chemical that restricts blood flow in the penis. By relaxing blood vessels, it improves circulation and makes it easier to get an erection when sexually stimulated.
How Should Sildenafil Be Taken?
For the best results, follow your doctor’s advice carefully.
— Take 1 tablet around one hour before sexual activity
— Swallow whole with water—food is optional
— Avoid high-fat meals as they may delay its effects
— Do not take more than one tablet per day
— If you take too much, call your doctor
— If it doesn’t work, speak to your GP before increasing the dose
