Sildenafil
Online intake — Additional evaluation may be required
Sildenafil is a PDE5 inhibitor prescribed for erectile dysfunction. Viagra is a brand name associated with sildenafil.
What Is Sildenafil?
Sildenafil is an oral prescription medication. The prescribed product label identifies its strength and instructions. High-fat meals can affect absorption; ask the prescriber about administration and food.
Who May Be a Candidate
A clinician reviews symptoms, cardiovascular history, blood pressure, kidney and liver conditions, and all medications before prescribing. An intake does not guarantee a prescription. In-person assessment or referral may be required. Do not take PDE5 inhibitors with nitrates or riociguat. Combining PDE5 inhibitors can cause dangerous blood-pressure drops; do not combine medications on your own. Alpha blockers and other blood-pressure medicines require interaction review. Tell the clinician about cardiovascular disease and whether you have been advised to avoid sexual activity.

Common Questions
What interactions must I disclose?

Alpha blockers and other blood-pressure medicines require interaction review. Tell the clinician about cardiovascular disease and whether you have been advised to avoid sexual activity.
What adverse effects require attention?
PDE5 inhibitors can cause headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, dizziness, and blood-pressure changes. Tadalafil can also cause back or muscle pain.
