SILDENAFIL treats pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition that causes high blood pressure in the lungs. It works by relaxing your blood vessels and lowering the blood pressure in your lungs, which makes it easier for your heart to pump blood to the rest of your body.
Sildenafil is commonly used for the following conditions.
- Erectile dysfunction, a condition where you have trouble getting or keeping an erection
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension, a condition where you have high blood pressure in the blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to your lungs
Sildenafil may also be used for other conditions as determined by your healthcare provider.
