Generic Sildenafil Citrate -- Facts and Information
What is Generic Sildenafil Citrate?
Generic Sildenafil Citrate is a tablet used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited. One does not get an erection just by taking this medicine. Generic Sildenafil Citrate helps a man with erectile dysfunction get an erection only when he is sexually excited.
How does Generic Sildenafil Citrate work?
Generic Sildenafil Citrate enables many men with ED to respond to sexual stimulation.
When a man is sexually aroused, the arteries in the penis relax and widen, allowing
more blood to flow into the penis. As the arteries in the penis expand and harden, the
veins that normally carry blood away from the penis become compressed, restricting the
blood flow out of the penis. With more blood flowing in and less flowing out, the penis
enlarges, resulting in an erection.
Please understand that Generic Sildenafil Citrate is not a hormone or aphrodisiac, it
works only when a man is sexually stimulated.

pain due to heart disease) such as: nitroglycerine (sprays, ointments, skin patches or
pastes, and tablets that are swallowed or dissolved in the mouth) isosorbide
mononitrate and isosorbide dinitrate (tablets that are swallowed, chewed, or dissolved
in the mouth) Nitrates are also found in recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or
