Sildenafil citrate 150mg is a higher-dose version of the medication commonly known as Viagra. It’s a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor.
This medication works by increasing blood flow to the penis. Specifically, it inhibits the enzyme PDE5, which normally breaks down cyclic GMP. Higher levels of cyclic GMP relax the muscles in the blood vessels of the penis, allowing more blood to flow in, resulting in an erection.
Remember, Sildenafil citrate only works with sexual stimulation. It doesn’t automatically cause an erection. The increased blood flow facilitates a response to sexual arousal.
This higher dosage may be prescribed for individuals who haven’t responded well to lower doses or for those with more severe erectile dysfunction. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and frequency of use. This medication can interact with other drugs, so disclose all medications you are currently taking to your doctor.
Side effects can include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, and upset stomach. More serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. Consult your physician immediately if you experience chest pain, sudden vision loss, or prolonged erection (priapism).
Sildenafil citrate 150mg is a prescription medication. Only obtain it from a legitimate source and follow your doctor’s guidance for safe and effective use.
