Condition Sildenafil Treats
Sildenafil is basically used to treat erectile dysfunction or impotence. This is the inability to get or keep an erection in men. Apart from this, Sildenafil is also known for other uses. It is also used to improve the ability to exercise in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, in which there is high blood pressure in the vessels carrying blood to the lungs, causing shortness of breath, dizziness, and tiredness). Sildenafil comes in a class of medications called phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors. Sildenafil is responsible for the treatment of erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. This increased blood flow is responsible for causing an erection. Sildenafil treats the other medical condition, PAH by relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs to allow blood to flow easily. In case you are taking sildenafil for the purpose of treating erectile dysfunction, then it is important to know it does not cure erectile dysfunction or increase sexual desire. Sildenafil also does not prevent pregnancy or the spread of sexually transmitted diseases or STDs such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). You must talk to your health care provider before starting on a dose of Sildenafil. |
