Sildenafil citrate is a medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Itās best known by the brand name Viagra.
Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which increases blood flow to certain areas of the body ā notably, the penis, helping to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation. For PAH, it relaxes the blood vessels in the lungs to reduce blood pressure.

While primarily prescribed for men with erectile dysfunction, some studies have explored its use in women for sexual dysfunction or pulmonary hypertension. However, itās not FDA-approved for female sexual dysfunction, and efficacy is unclear.
A high-fat meal can delay the absorption of sildenafil, meaning it may take longer to work if taken after a heavy meal. Itās usually recommended to take it on an empty stomach for faster onset.
Though used to treat pulmonary hypertension, sildenafil might improve exercise endurance by enhancing blood flow, but in healthy individuals, this effect is minimal and not well supported.
