Sildenafil is indicated in adult men with erectile dysfunction (sometimes called impotence), which is the inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. Sildenafil 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). In order for Sildenafil to be effective, sexual stimulation is required. Sildenafil Teva is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that Sildenafil Teva is similar to a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the European Union (EU) called Viagra. __FAQ:__ 1. __Is this an over-the-counter medication?__ NO, this is a prescription-only medication (POM), but medino pharmacy offers a private erectile dysfunction service, called PGD, where a trained pharmacist can dispense some medications for erectile dysfunction, after carrying out a clinical assessment. 2. __What will happen once I have answered the questions in the form?__ A pharmacist trained to provide the Erectile Dysfunction private service will assess the form and call you to discuss the answers you provided with you. 3. __Why do I need to provide my phone number?__ In order to dispense this medication without a prescription, the consultation must be carried out via phone or video call.
