Who qualifies for Sildenafil

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review every case to ensure Sildenafil is safe and appropriate for you. They look for certain health conditions and consider your medical history. Generally, Sildenafil is prescribed to adult men experiencing erectile dysfunction. However, certain conditions like severe heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent stroke or heart attack, or specific eye conditions (e.g., non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy) may contraindicate its use. The doctor will also assess any other medications you are taking, especially nitrates, which are dangerous when combined with Sildenafil. Your health and safety are our priority.

What Sildenafil actually does (and doesn't do)

Sildenafil, commonly known by its brand name Viagra, belongs to a class of medications called PDE5 inhibitors. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis when you are sexually stimulated, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection. It doesn't magically create an erection; sexual arousal is still necessary. Sildenafil typically takes effect within 30 to 60 minutes and its effects last for about 4 to 6 hours. It's important to understand that Sildenafil treats the symptoms of ED, but it doesn't cure the underlying cause. It also does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Sildenafil can cause side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and visual disturbances (e.g., blurred vision, a blue tinge to vision). These are usually mild and temporary. More serious, though rare, side effects can occur, such as sudden vision loss, sudden hearing loss, or priapism (a prolonged and painful erection lasting more than 4 hours). If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, stop taking Sildenafil immediately and seek urgent medical attention. Always discuss your full medical history with your doctor to understand potential risks.
