Viagra 100 mg. 12 tablets

What VIAGRA is and what it is used for

VIAGRA contains the active substance sildenafil, which belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. The action of VIAGRA is to assist the enlargement of the penis's blood vessels, which facilitates its blood filling in sexual arousal. VIAGRA will only help you get an erection if you are sexually stimulated.

VIAGRA is a treatment for older men with erectile dysfunction, sometimes called impotence. This means that the man cannot obtain or maintain the stable erection of the penis required for sexual intercourse.
