Viagra 100 mg (Medication Information)

Viagra 100 mg is a prescription medication containing sildenafil citrate 100 mg. It belongs to a class of medicines known as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors and is prescribed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It should be used only under the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider following an appropriate medical evaluation.

Active Ingredient
