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