Talk to your pharmacist about SILVASTA®, an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction

Silvasta® is an effective treatment for erection problems also known as erectile dysfunction. Its active ingredient sildenafil is the same as in Viagra® and Avigra®. Silvasta® belongs to the class of oral erectile dysfunction treatments called PDE5 inhibitors.

Silvasta® is manufactured in Europe to the highest quality standards.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is when a man cannot get, or keep, a hard erect penis suitable for sexual activity. Silvasta® works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, helping blood flow into the penis and allowing you to get an erection in the natural way. Silvasta® will only work if you are sexually excited. Silvasta® will not increase your sex drive.

You MUST NOT take Silvasta® if you are taking nitrate medicines often prescribed for angina (chest pain) or heart problems, or guanylate cyclase stimulators like adempas (Riociguat) for pulmonary hypertension. It may cause a severe drop in your blood pressure which may be difficult to treat. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are currently being, or have been, treated for angina or other heart conditions.
