What is
Sildenafil
?

Sildenafil is a treatment for erectile dysfunction in male adults. This is when a man cannot achieve or maintain a hard, erected penis for satisfactory sexual activity.

It is important to note that sildenafil works only with sexual stimulation. Sildenafil alone does not increase your sex drive.

For more resources, including a full list of the risks and benefits of sildenafil, please review the product monograph.

How does
Sildenafil
work?

Sildenafil belongs to a class of medicine called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.

Following sexual stimulation, sildenafil works by helping to relax the blood vessels in your penis by allowing blood to flow into your penis. This results in improved erectile function.

It’s important to note that sexual stimulation is still needed for Sildenafil to function.

What is
Sildenafil
used to treat?

Sildenafil is primarily used as a treatment for men with erectile dysfunction, who are having trouble getting or maintaining an erection that lasts long enough to perform sexual activities.

How do you take
Sildenafil
?

Sildenafil should be taken 30-60 minutes before planning to start sexual activities. However, it can be taken 30 minutes to 4 hours prior to sexual activity.

Dosage will depend on what your healthcare practitioner believes is the best choice for you. The most common dosages are 50mg or 100mg, but in some cases, 25mg doses are used.

Never take more than the recommended dosage of sildenafil, and don’t take more than one dose within a 24-hour period. I

f you have questions about how to use sildenafil safely and effectively, talk to your healthcare practitioner at Felix. They’ll be able to give you any guidance you need.

Once approved, your prescription will be sent to the pharmacy and we will process the payment and fill the prescription within one to two days.
