About Skiigra 100mg Tablet

SILDENAFIL belongs to the group of medicines called as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5) inhibitors which are primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in adult men. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to keep a hard and erect penis suitable for sexual activity. Sometimes, SILDENAFIL is also used to treat pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). SILDENAFIL is not for new-borns, children, or women.

SILDENAFIL works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, thereby allows the blood flow into the penis when the person is sexually excited. However, SILDENAFIL helps the person to get an erection only if he is sexually stimulated. SILDENAFIL is not an aphrodisiac or hormone. It does not cure erectile dysfunction in male but treats erectile dysfunction. SILDENAFIL does not protect you or your partner from getting sexually transmitted diseases including AIDS.
