Description
Viagra Connect 50mg Tablets
Viagra Connect 50mg Tablets are a pharmacy only version of the prescription only medicine Viagra 50mg tablets that you can purchase without the need for a prescription from your doctor. They treat erectile dysfunction (also known as impotence) in adult men aged 18 years and over.
Erectile dysfunction is when a man cannot get or keep an erection hard enough for satisfactory sexual activity. Erections depend on many things, including proper blood flow to the penis. If blood cannot flow adequately to the penis, it can cause erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is a common problem and can affect men differently. Some men cannot get an erection, other men can get an erection but it may not be hard enough for sex, or they may lose their erection before or during sex.
Viagra Connect 50mg Tablets contain the active ingredient sildenafil, which belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors and works by relaxing the blood vessels in your penis, allowing blood to flow into your penis when you get sexually excited and causing an erection. They will only help you to get an erection if you are sexually excited (stimulated).
