Teva Sildenafil Citrate works by increasing blood flow to the penis. This occurs through inhibition of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5), an enzyme that breaks down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).
Higher cGMP levels relax the smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis, allowing for increased blood flow and facilitating an erection. This mechanism requires sexual stimulation to initiate the process; Teva Sildenafil Citrate does not cause erections independently.
The medication is absorbed into the bloodstream following oral administration, reaching peak plasma concentrations in approximately one hour. Its effects typically last for four to five hours. Dosage varies depending on individual needs and should always be determined in consultation with a healthcare professional.
Potential side effects include headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. Serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. Discuss any concerns with your doctor before starting treatment.
Remember, Teva Sildenafil Citrate is a prescription medication. Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and obtain the drug only through legitimate channels.
