Product Description

Sildenafil Tablets IP 100 mg belong to a class of medicines called phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. They are primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in adult men. Additionally, Sildenafil may be prescribed to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) in adults, helping to improve exercise capacity and slow disease progression.

Sildenafil works by relaxing blood vessels, which increases blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal and improves blood flow to the lungs, thereby reducing the heart’s workload in pulmonary hypertension.

Uses

• Treatment of erectile dysfunction (impotence) in adult men.

How it works

This causes dilation of blood vessels in the penis, allowing increased blood flow during sexual arousal, which helps achieve and maintain an erection. In pulmonary hypertension, it relaxes blood vessels in the lungs, improving blood flow and reducing the heart’s workload.
