Contents of the pack and other information
Sildenafil contains the active substance sildenafil which belongs to
a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5)
inhibitors. It works by helping to relax the blood vessels in your
penis, allowing blood to flow into your penis when you get sexually
excited. Sildenafil will only help you to get an erection if you are
sexually stimulated.
Sildenafil is a treatment for adult men with erectile dysfunction,
sometimes known as impotence. This is when a man cannot get, or
keep a hard, erect penis suitable for sexual activity.
