What is sildenafil?

Sildenafil is a prescription medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping to achieve and maintain an erection.

Originally developed to treat high blood pressure and angina, Sildenafil belongs to a class of drugs known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It is also available under the brand name Viagra.

What is sildenafil used for?

Sildenafil is primarily used to treat:

  • Erectile dysfunction (ED)
  • Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) (under brand name Revatio)
  • Off-label: Raynaud’s phenomenon, altitude sickness

Common side effects of Sildenafil:

  • Headache
  • Flushing (warmth or redness in face)

  • Vision changes (blurred vision, sensitivity to light)

Dosage forms and strengths

Tablets: 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg.

The typical starting dose for ED is 50 mg, taken as needed about 30–60 minutes before sexual activity.
