WHAT SILDENAFIL ACTAVIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Sildenafil Actavis 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. Sildenafil Actavis
will only help you to get an erection if you are sexually stimulated.
Sildenafil Actavis 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.
