What is Sildenafil
Sildenafil (generic Viagra) temporarily increases blood flow to your penis when you're sexually aroused. When you feel sexually excited, a chemical called cGMP is released, relaxing the smooth muscles in the penis. This relaxation lets more blood flow in, leading to an erection.
Remember, It doesn't boost your sexual desire. If you're dealing with low libido, talk to your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
It contains Sildenafil citrate, the active ingredient grouped under phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. These medicines prevent an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type-5 from working too quickly,
What should you remind before taking Sildenafil?
- DO NOT take Sildenafil with nitrates (medications for chest pain) as it can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
- ⚠️ See a doctor before taking Sildenafil, especially if you have any underlying health conditions, including heart problems, high blood pressure, or liver or kidney disease.
- ⚠️ Inform your doctor about all medications you take to avoid potential interactions.
Is sildenafil effective for delaying ejaculation, or is it only meant to improve erectile function?
While some studies suggest that sildenafil might have a slight impact on ejaculation duration, it's not specifically designed for that purpose. Its main effect is on erectile function. (sources).
If you're concerned about premature ejaculation, it's best to consult a healthcare professional.
is Sildenafil same as Viagra?
Yes, sildenafil is the active ingredient in Viagra. Viagra is a brand name for sildenafil citrate, a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing blood flow to the penis to help achieve and maintain an erection.
It is also marketed under other brand names, such as Revatio, for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
How quickly does Sildenafil work?
Sildenafil (Viagra, Revatio) typically take 30 to 60 minutes to work, although it can take up to 2 hours for some people. The highest amount of sildenafil citrate (active drug in this medicine) in your bloodstream happens around 60 minutes after you take it.
Still, you might begin feeling its effects in approximately 25-30 minutes.
But remember, it won't give you an auto erection on its own—you need to be sexually aroused for it to go into action. So, plan to take it about an hour before you want to have sex.
The effects can last for around 4 to 6 hours, but it varies from person to person.
How long do Sildenafil effects last?
Commonly, the power of Sildenafil last 2-6 hours. Very rarely, the effects may persist for up to 10 hours, giving you ample time to engage in sexual activity with improved erectile function.
It won't keep it up indefinitely after sex. The results of Sildenafil gradually fade over time and will be gone within a day.
What if Sildenafil 50mg doesn't work for me?
For some patient, it may take a few attempts to see the effects of Sildenafil tablets. If Sildenafil 100mg/50mg/25mg doesn't work for the first time, don't give up.
Alcohol consumption, meals, and mood can influence how well it works. So, consider trying Sildenafil in various situations to find what works best.
If you find that it's still not effective after attempting it eight times, it's advisable to consult with your doctor to consider adjusting your dosage strength or switching to alternative ed treatments.
Is Sildenafil safe?
Sildenafil is an FDA-approved and safe medication when used as directed. Still, it's important to note that it can interact with certain medicines.
Sometimes, these interactions can pose a risk and potentially harm health. However, there's no evidence of long-term side effects. However, if you have certain health conditions, please consult your doctor before taking it.
For more information please refer to the NHS online resource on Sildenafil (Viagra).
Tadalafil (Cialis) vs Sildenafil (Viagra)
Sildenafil and Tadalafil are both Erectile dysfunction medications intended to treat men who struggle with getting a firm enough erection for intercourse with their partner.
The choice between Sildenafil and Tadalafil depends largely on your personal needs and lifestyle.
You might be wondering which one is the best fit for you, which one works faster, and which one is more effective while also being safe and good for your health. The answer is:
✅ Which works faster: Sildenafil works faster, typically taking 30-60 minutes to take effect, making it more suitable for planned sex. It lasts for 4 to 6 hours, providing a shorter window of effectiveness compared to Tadalafil tablets.
✅ which last longer: It’s very clear that Tadalafil lasts significantly longer (up to 36 hours), allowing for extended flexibility in sexual activity. Sildenafil citrate lasts for 4 to 6 hours, providing a shorter window of effectiveness compared to Tadalafil tablets.
✅ potential side effects: While both drugs share common side effects, tadalafil tends to have fewer visual disturbances and is generally considered gentler on the body.
Which ED medication is best for daily sex life?
For daily sex life: Tadalafil is often prescribed for men who want more flexibility in their sexual life. It lasts up to 36 hrs. with a single dose, making it perfect for spontaneous sexual activity over a longer period.
For those who engage in sex more frequently, tadalafil can also be taken daily at a lower dose (Tadalafil Daily 2.5-5 mg), delivering continuous erections without needing to plan ahead.
On the other hand, sildenafil is typically taken as needed and may not be ideal for daily use due to its shorter duration of action (4-6 hours).

FAQ
Do I have erectile dysfunction because I am old?
Erectile dysfunction is more common in older men, particularly aged 40 or above. This is because older men usually have pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and obesity, which all contribute to erectile dysfunction. The older you get, the lower your testosterone levels become as well, which also contributes to erectile dysfunction.
Can being tired cause erectile dysfunction?
Yes. When you are tired you have a decreased sex drive (libido), so it is harder to gain and maintain an erection. This also happens when you are lacking in fitness.
Can masturbating cause erectile dysfunction?
If you are masturbating several times in a short period of time, then yes you may experience difficulties in getting and maintaining an erection.
Can cycling cause erectile dysfunction?
Excessive cycling can indeed cause erectile dysfunction, especially if your seat is applying pressure to your testicles. This applies pressure to the nerves in the bottom of your penis, which contributes to erectile dysfunction. The same thing can occur if you wear excessively tight clothing for long periods of time consistently.
How can I treat erectile dysfunction?
This is dependent on the cause of ED, so it is very important to consult your GP to identify the cause. Once the cause is known, it is easier to suggest a treatment plan. Treatment options include medicine and lifestyle changes.

Some causes are reversible such as excessive drinking and smoking, excessive cycling and excessive masturbation.
Can taking vitamins help my erectile dysfunction?
Vitamins should not be used as the main treatment for erectile dysfunction as there is not much evidence for it. However, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B complex are believed to assist in men suffering with ED. Vitamin C and vitamin B complex are thought to help with blood flow and vitamin E is thought to help with producing testosterone, which may lead to improvement of ED.
Which drug is best for erectile dysfunction?

Are there any herbal remedies that treat erectile dysfunction?

Does having ED mean that there is something wrong with my health?
In many cases of ED, the underlying cause is nothing to worry about. However, it is extremely important to identify the cause of your ED by speaking to your doctor in order to rule out serious health issues.
What dose of ED medication should I take?
It is advised that you start off at the lowest dose available and see how well that works. Take a stronger dose the next time if the starting dose was insufficient.
Can I split my tablet to save money?
This is not recommended by the manufacturer but it is commonly done. Bear in mind that splitting a pill will also half your dose.
Do ED tablets always work?
ED Pills do work in most men. However if the penile nerves are damaged or blood circulation is restricted, the tablets may not always work. Men with low testosterone levels may also be resistant to tablet treatment. If one tablet does not work it is worth trying a different drug. If your symptoms persist you should consult your GP.
