Oral Viagra, containing sildenafil citrate, primarily treats erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. This means it helps men achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse. The medication works by increasing blood flow to the penis.
Beyond Erectile Dysfunction
While ED is the most common use, sildenafil also finds application in treating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). PAH is a condition where blood pressure in the arteries leading to the lungs is abnormally high. Sildenafil helps lower this pressure, improving blood flow and easing symptoms.
Importantly, use of Viagra should always be under a doctor’s supervision. A healthcare professional will assess your individual health status and determine the appropriate dosage and suitability of the medication. They’ll discuss potential side effects and interactions with other medications you may be taking.
