PDE5 Inhibitor
PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type-5) inhibitors like sildenafil work by preventing the body from breaking down the chemicals needed for achieving an erection. This class of oral medications are the American Urological Association’s recommended first-line treatment for ED.
Sildenafil should be taken 30 to 60 minutes prior to sexual activity and requires sexual stimulation to achieve an erection.

Sildenafil works by preventing the body from breaking down the chemicals needed for an erection. These chemicals are then able to help dilate the corpora cavernosa of the penis, facilitating blood flow which allows for an erection with stimulation.
Absorption of sildenafil is improved when taken on an empty stomach. In contrast, tadalafil is less affected by meals.
Sildenafil is recommended for men who suffer from erectile dysfunction. Sildenafil may also be prescribed for men who have just had a radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer to help in the recovery process.
DO NOT take sildenafil or other PDE5 inhibitors if you take nitrate medications for cardiac conditions. Talk with your physician before taking sildenafil or other PDE5 inhibitors if you take alpha blocker medications for high blood pressure or if you have any of the following conditions:
• Low blood pressure
• Uncontrolled hypertension
• Cardiac failure
• Angina
Sildenafil is effective for the treatment of ED. In 16 trials that evaluated sildenafil in men with various comorbidities, the mean per-patient percentage of successful sexual intercourse was 69% with treatment (range, 52%–85%) compared with 35.5% for placebo (range, 19%–68%). 1
