This makes the heart work harder to pump blood through the lungs. This can lead to heart damage and cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and lightheadedness. Pulmonary hypertension affects about 1% of the population. Pulmonary hypertension has many potential causes, including heart disease, lung disease, medications, and other health conditions.

In clinical trials, sildenafil showed significant effects on erectile response 60 minutes after the dose was taken, though the effects may be evident within 30 minutes. For pulmonary hypertension, sildenafil lowers blood pressure about one to two hours after a dose is taken. With a half-life of four hours, sildenafil and its active metabolite are completely cleared from the system in about 20 hours, though the effects fade before then. For erectile dysfunction, sildenafil produces its maximum effects for about two hours and can still produce an erectile response four hours after a dose is taken.

Safety and Tolerability
For erectile dysfunction, men take a pill when needed, but no more than one dose per day. No one who has had an allergic reaction to sildenafil will be prescribed this medicine. Popularly known as brand-name Viagra, sildenafil is widely used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Defined as an inability to achieve or maintain an erection, clinical erectile dysfunction affects more than thirty million men in the United States. This enzyme cGMP is needed because it causes smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow to the penis. If it’s almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose as scheduled. If too much sildenafil is taken, get immediate medical attention. Side effects of sildenafil, such as headache, flushing, stomach upset, nasal congestion, back pain, low blood pressure, or painful erections (priapism), are more likely and could be worse than normal.
