Viagra, or sildenafil, primarily treats erectile dysfunction (ED). It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, facilitating an erection.
Men experiencing ED find Viagra helpful in achieving and maintaining an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. Dosage varies, so consult your doctor for personalized guidance.
While primarily used for ED, Viagra also treats pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition causing high blood pressure in the arteries leading to the lungs. In this context, it improves blood flow to the lungs.
Important Note: Viagra isn’t suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain heart conditions, low blood pressure, or allergies to sildenafil should avoid it. Always discuss potential side effects and interactions with your physician before using Viagra.
Potential Side Effects: Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. Rarely, more serious side effects can occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, prolonged erection (priapism), or sudden vision loss.
This information provides a basic understanding. Always seek professional medical advice for diagnosis and treatment of ED or PAH. A doctor can assess your individual needs and determine the appropriate course of action.
