Sildenafil

Sildenafil belongs to a class of medications called phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors and is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. Sildenafil treats erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation and this increased blood flow results in a firm erection. Take sildenafil exactly as directed by your doctor. Before taking sildenafil it is necessary to read the prescription label carefully and ask your doctor to explain any part you do not understand. Rememeber start using sildenafil on an average dose and increase or decrease your dose depending on your response to the medication. If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. While using sildenafil dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, flushing, heartburn, nosebleeds, trouble sleeping, or swollen hands/ankles/feet (edema) may occur. In that case consult your doctor. Individuals having heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, certain other eye problems ("crowded disk"), or high blood pressure should be a bit cautious while using sildenafil as sexual activity may put extra strain on your heart, especially if you have heart problems. Serious allergic reaction to sildenafil is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing. This is a not a complete list of side effects that may occur while using sildenafil so if you notice any other side effects besides the one which are mentioned above contact your doctor or pharmacist. Store Sildenafil at room temperature away from light and moisture and keep all medications away from children and pets.
