Sildenafil Citrate 25mg

Sildenafil Citrate 25mg are drugs that are used for treating erectile dysfunction in men. These are categorized under phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, which increase the flow of blood to the penile and make it easier to get erections. These drugs are of mild dose that helps in improving the minor intensity of erectile dysfunction problems. The medicine treats erection difficulties by causing vasodilation in the penile. It relaxes the blood vessels and increases the flow of blood inside the penile. An erection happens when the penile engorges with blood. The blood gets trapped within the blood vessels of the penile under high pressure, which keeps the penile erect. They come in the form of pills and must be taken with some water 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual interaction. Sildenafil Citrate itself is an active component that forms an active ingredient in many ED drugs. Viagra is a popular drug that contains Sildenafil Citrate as its key ingredient.  

Uses

  • Sildenafil Citrate 25mg drugs treat erectile dysfunction. These drugs are pure vasodilators that work by triggering the release of nitric oxide in the endothelium walls of the penile arteries. Nitric oxide is a chemical that relaxes the penile arteries and expands them so that more blood enters the penile, which triggers stronger erections.  
  • Men experiencing feeble penile, despite complete sexual arousal can make use of these drugs, which boost the blood circulation in their penile blood vessels and produces harder erections. The pill will produce its effects in the presence of sexual arousal.   
  • The pill has to be swallowed with water. It must not be taken within an hour or two after the meals. Take the pill as it is with water, changing its form by crushing, and breaking will reduce its efficacy. The effects of the pill can last for around 3 to 4 hours.   
  • Besides, Sildenafil Citrate 25mg can also be prescribed for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which is a condition that causes high blood pressure in the lungs. These drugs reduce blood pressure by relaxing the strained muscles of the lung arteries and allowing more blood to flow inside them. The effects of this medicine relieve breathing difficulties and chest pressure and restore activeness.
