WHAT SILDENAFIL RATIOPHARM IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT SILDENAFIL RATIOPHARM IS
Sildenafil ratiopharm contains the active substance sildenafil which
belongs to a group of medicines
called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. This medicine
allows an erection to last long
enough for you to satisfactorily complete sexual activity. It reduces
the action of the natural chemical
in your body, which makes erections go away. Sildenafil ratiopharm
will only work when you are
sexually stimulated.
WHAT SILDENAFIL RATIOPHARM IS USED FOR
Sildenafil ratiopharm 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.
