Sildenafil 50mg–100mg Capsules
- An oral sildenafil treatment option for erectile dysfunction available through provider-guided sexual-health care.
- Treatment requires review by a licensed healthcare provider and a prescription when clinically appropriate.
Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping support an erection when sexual stimulation is present.
Use your sildenafil capsules exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider and follow the administration instructions supplied with your medication. Because the NowTelehealth product is a capsule formulation, follow the specific dispensing instructions rather than assuming instructions for another sildenafil dosage form apply.
Common sildenafil side effects include headache, flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion, nausea, and visual changes. Sildenafil also has important cardiovascular and medication-interaction warnings that should be reviewed before treatment.
Your healthcare provider determines whether sildenafil is appropriate for you after considering your health history, current medications, cardiovascular factors, and other individual circumstances.
