Sildenafil tablets are known to treat a number of different conditions, and most commonly is known as a form of Viagra which helps to treat erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, in men. Here at Post My Meds, we offer sildenafil tablets as a cost-effective alternative to the common erectile dysfunction treatment Viagra.

Another form of the tablet is known as Revatio, and it is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension in both men and women. It is important not to mix the two forms of the tablet unless advised to do so by a doctor, and it is also important not to take it as a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems. There are a number of other drugs that can have some side effects if mixed with Sildenafil, so it is important to only take it if recommended to do so by the doctor.
