The use of sildenafil has proven to be an effective and safe way not only to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), but also to temporarily support men with psycho-emotional problems that prevent them from achieving a satisfactory erection. After Viagra, the first original drug with sildenafil, expired its patent prohibiting other drug manufacturers from repeating its composition, the situation with the wide availability of cheap and high-quality analogues became much better. Now the pharmaceutical market is replete with sildenophil from different manufacturers, which differ not only in price, but also in the form of release.
How does sildenafil work and is it safe?
In tablet form, the effect of sildenafil begins no later than 30-60 minutes after administration, and depending on the amount (25, 50 or 100 mg), it can last from 4 to 12 hours.
The wide range of available dosages allows you to choose the least effective one, while reducing the likelihood of side effects such as facial flushing or headache - such manifestations are characteristic of sildenafil in approximately 10% of cases. With the exception of these unpleasant, but reversible and harmless effects, long-term experience with use and clinical studies of sildenafil in large populations of men of different ages have demonstrated its high safety profile.
Sildenafil is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for ED regardless of the age of the adult patient, including men under 75 years of age (source).
If the patient does not have severe vascular disorders, heart failure and some other serious diseases (see the full list of restrictions in the instructions), then the use of sildenafil is allowed even in old age.

Special instructions for the use of Sildenafil
Before taking Sildenafil, as a drug that normalizes erectile dysfunction, it is important for the patient to undergo a heart examination, as well as conduct an examination of the vascular system.

Sildenafil should not be taken by men for whom sexual activity is contraindicated for one reason or another.
People should be especially careful when taking the drug:
- prone to frequent bleeding;
- with duodenal disease in the process of exacerbation of the disease;
- with peptic ulcer;
- with retinitis pigmentosa.
Sildenafil citrate should not be taken even in the smallest dose by persons under 18 years of age.

Precautions when taking Sildenafil
Before you start taking Sildenafil, it is important to consult a doctor.
When a specialist prescribes a drug, he examines the patient’s tests, identifies the reasons that affected the sexual function of the male body, and only then prescribes treatment.
Before prescribing the medicine, a man must undergo a general clinical and urological examination.
The drug may be contraindicated for those who, for a number of clinical (physiological) reasons, have unwanted sexual activity. These can be people with different forms of heart disease, as well as patients with kidney failure, cirrhosis of the liver, men over 70 years old, etc.
When prescribing, the doctor takes into account not only physiological contraindications, but also contraindications for taking Sildenafil with other medications. So, as already noted, the use of this drug with nitrates is not recommended.
Sildenafil is not indicated for use by women, as well as children and adolescents under the age of 18.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Pharmacodynamics
The drug restores the lost response to sexual arousal. Normal erection is impossible without the release of nitric oxide in the corpus cavernosum of the penis, which activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase . Activation of this enzyme leads to an increase in the level of a specific nucleotide - cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This nucleotide is necessary to relax the muscles of the corpus cavernosum, resulting in increased blood flow in the penis. Sildenafil is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 5, which causes the breakdown of cGMP. Thus, Sildenafil citrate increases blood flow in the penis. In studies, 72% of patients had complete sexual intercourse. The effect of this medicine begins after 1 hour and lasts 3-4 hours.
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption: rapidly absorbed, bioavailability is 41%. Maximum plasma concentrations are observed on average 1 hour after administration on an empty stomach. Intake of alcohol and fatty foods slows down absorption.
Distribution: binds to plasma proteins, penetrates evenly into tissues.
Metabolism: metabolized by liver enzymes. The main metabolites are further metabolized, and their half-life is 4 hours.
Excretion: metabolites are mainly excreted in feces (80%) and urine (13%).
