Sildenafil 100 mg Tablets

Sildenafil 100 mg Tablets are a prescription medicine that contain 100 mg of sildenafil citrate in each tablet. Sildenafil belongs to a class of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors, which are used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. This strength is taken by mouth as a tablet and is meant to help improve the ability to get and keep an erection when sexually aroused. It does not cause an erection without sexual stimulation.

How it works: Sildenafil Citrate works by relaxing blood vessels in the penis and increasing blood flow during sexual stimulation. In tablet form, Sildenafil 100 mg Tablets are swallowed and absorbed through the stomach and intestines before they can start working.

Sildenafil 100 mg Tablets are the highest common tablet strength and are usually chosen only when a doctor feels a lower dose is not enough or the patient has already tolerated sildenafil well. Because it is a 100 mg tablet, it may be more likely to cause side effects than lower strengths, so it should be used exactly as prescribed. Your doctor will decide whether this stronger tablet is the right fit based on your response, health history, and other medicines.

• Erectile dysfunction (ED)

Each Sildenafil 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of sildenafil citrate in one tablet.

Your prescriber decides the right dose and timing for you, and Sildenafil 100 mg Tablets should not be taken more often than prescribed.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
