Common use
The main component of Viagra is Sildenafil Citrate.
Sildenafil Citrate affects the response to sexual stimulation.

This smooth muscle relaxation allows increased blood flow into certain areas of the penis, which leads to an erection.
Sildenafil Citrate is applied for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
