What is Sildenafil?
Sildenafil, also known as viagra, is a drug used to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Erectile Dysfunction, also known as impotence, is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex. Sildenafil can be used to treat erectile dysfunction by helping to relax muscles and arteries inside the penis - this allows more blood to reach the penis which better enables erection.
What causes erectile dysfunction?
There can be physical causes such as heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or even obesity. Conversely, there can also be mental causes such as depression, anxiety and stress.
How do I know I have erectile dysfunction?
You may be keen to use sildenafil or other drugs as an instant fix. We encourage you
to consult a doctor first as this allows the doctor to do a detailed history of your
medical and sexual history. This allows him or her to decide if the symptoms are
indeed that of erectile dysfunction, and allows for better shared discussion
of a safe and targeted treatment plan for you.
Following, your doctor may discuss these (but not limited to):
- Your needs
- Your expectations
- Treatment safety & options
What alternatives are there to Sildenafil / Viagra?
If you have specific needs or are not a suitable candidate for sildenafil, your doctor may also advise the following (but not limited to):

All of the above have their various trade-offs and should be considered in relation
to your own medical history and condition. It is important to treat a medical
condition at the root cause(s) where possible.
