Sildenafil Citrate 200 mg

Sildenafil Citrate 200 mg is a prescription medication that helps men with erectile dysfunction (ED) get or maintain an erection. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, causing an erection that lasts longer than usual.

It is part of a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, or PDE5 inhibitors. Depending on the condition being treated, sildenafil can be used in different ways. For example, Viagra is a drug that's prescribed to treat ED, but it can also be used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

How Do I Take Sildenafil?

To get the most out of this drug, you should follow your doctor's instructions. Start with a low dose and increase it as needed. Doing so can reduce your risk of side effects and increase your effectiveness.

You should take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually as needed. The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and any other medications you may be taking.

This medication can cause serious side effects if taken with certain other medicines, or if you have heart problems. These include a fast or uneven heart rate, low blood pressure, and chest pain. If you have a history of heart disease, talk to your doctor before taking this medication.
