Viafil 200 mg Tablet

Viafil 200 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 200 mg of sildenafil citrate in each tablet. It belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors and is used for erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. This higher-strength Viafil 200 mg Tablet is meant for patients whose doctor has specifically assessed that a stronger sildenafil dose is appropriate. It is taken as an oral tablet, so it is swallowed with water rather than chewed or dissolved.

How it works: Sildenafil citrate in Viafil 200 mg Tablet helps relax blood vessels in the penis so more blood can flow in during sexual stimulation. Because it is a tablet, the medicine is absorbed through the digestive system after you swallow it.

Viafil 200 mg Tablet is a much higher strength than Viafil 25 mg Tablet, Viafil 50 mg Tablet, Viafil 100 mg Tablet, and Viafil 150 mg Tablet, so it is not a routine starting dose. A doctor may choose this strength only after considering prior response to lower strengths, overall health, and side effect risk. Because it contains more sildenafil per tablet, the effects and side effects may be more noticeable than with lower-strength Viafil tablets.

• Erectile dysfunction (ED)
• Helps achieve and maintain an erection with sexual stimulation

• Swallow Viafil 200 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity, or exactly as your doctor advises.

Each Viafil 200 mg Tablet provides 200 mg of sildenafil citrate, which is a high-strength dose. It should not be taken more than once in 24 hours, and the exact dose and frequency must be decided by a doctor based on your response and safety. Do not increase the dose on your own, especially because this strength is higher than commonly used starting doses.

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

• Headache
