What is Sildenafil Citrate?

Sildenafil Citrate is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction in men and pulmonary arterial hypertension in both sexes. It increases blood flow by relaxing blood vessels, particularly in the penile region during sexual stimulation, and in the lungs to reduce hypertension.
