Sildenafil

About this treatment

Sildenafil is one of the most widely prescribed treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED). ED is common and becomes more likely with age, stress, poor sleep and conditions that affect blood flow, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

Sildenafil is a PDE5 inhibitor. It relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessel walls, so more blood can flow to the penis in response to sexual stimulation. It does not cause an erection on its own. Sildenafil may:

Help you get and keep an erection firm enough for sex

Improve confidence and reduce performance-related anxiety

Work within about 30–60 minutes, with effects lasting around 4–5 hours

Who it’s for

Adult men with erectile dysfunction who want a proven, on-demand option.

How it works

You take one tablet about an hour before sexual activity, no more than once a day. A heavy, high-fat meal can delay how quickly it works. A licensed provider sets your dose after reviewing your health history and current medications during your consultation.

What’s included

A 30-day prescription dispensed by a licensed pharmacy, a provider consultation, and priority shipping at a $15 flat fee.

Important safety information

Individual results vary. Sildenafil must not be taken with nitrates (such as nitroglycerin) or riociguat, as the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. It may not be right for you if you have heart disease, very low or uncontrolled blood pressure, or a recent stroke or heart attack. Seek care right away for an erection lasting more than 4 hours. A provider will determine whether it’s right for you.
