Sildenafil Citrate 100 mg Troche

Introduction to Sildenafil Citrate 100 mg Troche

Sildenafil Citrate 100 mg Troche is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men in Canada, the US, or other countries. It contains the active ingredient Sildenafil Citrate, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor.

This medication works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing more blood to flow into the area and helping men achieve and maintain an erection. Sildenafil Citrate 100 mg Troche is taken orally, typically 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity.

It is important to note that sexual stimulation is required for the medication to work and that it should not be taken by men who do not have ED. It is also important to consult a healthcare provider before taking this medication.
