Viagra (sildenafil) is the original erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment. Since its introduction in 1998, the little blue pill has helped restore the sexual confidence of millions of men. Erectile dysfunction can affect men of all ages. Learn more about ED in this medically-reviewed article.

Viagra may also be prescribed to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition that may lead to potential heart failure if left untreated. Consult your healthcare provider to find out if Viagra is suitable for you.

How does Viagra work?

Viagra works by increasing blood flow to the penis for firmer and more reliable erections. It blocks the PDE5 enzyme, which normally tightens blood vessels and limits circulation. When these blood vessels relax, more blood can enter the penis, resulting in stronger erections. Sexual stimulation is required for Viagra to take effect.
