WHAT VIZARSIN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Vizarsin contains the active substance sildenafil which belongs to a
group of medicines called
phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by helping to
relax the blood vessels in your
penis, allowing blood to flow into your penis when you get sexually
excited. Vizarsin will only help
you to get an erection if you are sexually stimulated.
Vizarsin is a treatment for adult men with erectile dysfunction,
sometimes known as impotence. This
is when a man cannot get, or keep a hard, erect penis suitable for
sexual activity.
