About Eriacta 50

Eriacta 50 is a prescription medicine that comes in tablet form.

It is used in men to treat sexual problems like Impotence and Erectile Dysfunction.

Sildenafil is the main ingredient of Eriacta 50.

It increases blood flow to the male organ, making it easier to get and keep an erection.

Eriacta 50 mg uses

The most common use of Eriacta 50 mg tablets is to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED).

Sildenafil in Eriacta 50 enhances blood flow to the penis, which makes the penis firmer during sexual activity.

This makes it easier for men to get or hold an erection.

It can also treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH).

How does Eriacta 50 work

The main component of Eriacta 50 is Sildenafil, a Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor.

It works by stopping the effects of PDE-5 enzymes that limit blood flow to the penis. 

So, it relaxes the blood vessels that direct blood to the penis, which makes the penis work better and keeps it erect during sexual intercourse.

It makes your erection last longer to have an improved sexual experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sildenafil Citrate used for?

Sildenafil is used for men who have trouble getting and keeping an erection.

It is a Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor that slows down the enzyme PDE-5 to increase the blood flow to the penis.

How long will Sildenafil last?

It depends on a person's age, weight, and other health factors on how long Sildenafil works, but the pill usually lasts 4 to 6 hours. Remember that your erection shouldn't last more than four hours.

Does Eriacta 50 make you bigger?

No. It does not make your penis bigger.

However, Eriacta is an effective medicine for treating Impotence.

Does Sildenafil keep you hard after coming?

Sildenafil doesn't stop your erection from weakening after ejaculation, so you'll probably lose it. If you have the trouble of having an orgasm too early, you may need to see a doctor about Premature Ejaculation.
