How Does Viagra Treat Erectile Dysfunction?

What is Viagra?

Viagra is a generic prescription drug that is FDA approved to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).

Viagra contains an active ingredient sildenafil citrate which belongs to a group of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. Viagra works by increasing blood flow to your penis, which helps you get and maintain an erection that lasts for longer.

Viagra comes as tablets that are to be taken orally. In most cases, it should be taken about an hour before sexual activity, but it can be taken 30 minutes to 4 hours to show its effects. Viagra is available in three strengths of 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg.

Viagra doesn’t treat ED permanently but offers erection when indulged in sexual activity. Several clinical studies have proven that Viagra is effective in treating ED. In these studies, men who took the drug showed improved ability to get and maintain erections longer for successful sexual activity.

Although Viagra is not 100 percent effective, it is still one of the safest ED drugs on the market. The effectiveness of the drug also depends on the cause of ED and the dosage of Viagra is used.
