What is Sildenafil?
Sildenafil Citrate is the medication suggested for men with Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or impotence.
Men with ED find it difficult to achieve or sustain an erection that is stable enough for sexual intercourse.
Viagra, the first prescription drug for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction, contains Sildenafil as an active component. Viagra was given FDA approval by Pfizer in 1998.
When Pfizer’s patent on this treatment for Erectile Dysfunction ran out in 2013, other pharmaceutical firms started manufacturing Sildenafil in a generic form that is less expensive but equally effective.
Other medications, including Fildena, Kamagra, and Cenforce, contain Sildenafil as an active component.
Sildenafil and Dapoxetine combined in Super P-Force 100 mg and Cenforce D 100+60 mg to treat both ED and Premature Ejaculation.
Sildenafil is also known as the “blue pills.”
What does Sildenafil do for a man?
Men use the Sildenafil Citrate pill also known as the blue pills, to treat impotence or Erectile Dysfunction (ED).
Additionally, US Food and Drug Administration has approved it to treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).
It helps increase the body’s cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP) level. This aids in relaxing the muscles surrounding the penis’s blood vessels.
Furthermore, a smooth blood flow during sexual activity aids in achieving and maintaining a firm erection.
How long does Sildenafil stay in your system?
Sildenafil Citrate stays in one’s body for almost 24 hours.
However, the desired impact can be felt for up to six hours. Thus, it is suggested to take this pill 30 to 60 minutes before planning sexual intercourse to have a fulfilling experience in bed.
How much Sildenafil is too much?
Sildenafil Citrate is a prescription-based medicine and should be taken only when the doctor recommends it.
The doctor usually recommends the correct dosage and strength in which the medicine has to be consumed by looking at the severity of the sexual dysfunction.
Doctors mostly suggest taking one pill of Sildenafil in 24 hours. Taking more than the recommended blue pills might result in an overdose. Do not double the dose of the medicine.
Is Sildenafil as good as Viagra?
The first oral ED medication authorized by the US Food and Drug Administration was Sildenafil.
Pfizer first offered it in 1998 under the name Viagra, and sales of Sildenafil Generic began in 2003.
Generic Sildenafil contains the same active component as Viagra.
The salt Sildenafil is a component of pharmaceutical drugs, including Phallus Power and Cenforce.
Does Sildenafil have long-term side effects?
The majority of Sildenafil’s adverse effects are minor and disappear soon when the pill takes effect. However, some negative effects can, in rare circumstances, cause long-term issues.
For instance, Viagra may prolong an erection. If left untreated, Erectile Dysfunction may become chronic.
Sildenafil Citrate has some common to rare side effects, which are as follows:
- Flushing
- Headache
- Nausea/ Dizziness
- Congested nose
These unusual side effects only affect less than 1 in 1000 people. Immediately seek medical attention if you experience symptoms such as
- Seizures
- Protracted or unpleasant erection
What should you avoid when taking Sildenafil?
You should not take Sildenafil Citrate pills alongside Nitrates, Diuretics, antifungal medicines, and medicines for treating AIDS as they might interact and cause undesired impact.
Similarly, blue pills should not be consumed if you suffer from Renal Dysfunction, Cardiovascular disease, Seizure disorders, Retinitis Pigmentosa, Liver disorders, etc.
Do not forget to inform your healthcare expert about your medical history before taking this medicine.
Avoid consuming food and beverage items like pomelo juice, tobacco, grapefruit, grapefruit juice, alcohol, etc., when taking this medicine.
How long does Sildenafil make you last?
Sildenafil, like Tadalafil, does not help with Premature Ejaculation; instead, it treats Erectile Dysfunction.
It aids men in obtaining and maintaining an erection firm enough for sex. It cannot make you stay in bed longer or treat PE.
You can try medicines like Super P-Force 100 mg and Cenforce D 100+60 mg to stay in bed longer.
Combination drugs like Super Vidalista are also available with a prescription for people who have ED and PE.
