What is Viagra?
A drug used to treat male erectile dysfunction (impotence) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Viagra belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, which work by allowing the smooth muscle of the penis to relax and yield to the rush of increased blood flow to the shaft, allowing it to become engorged and hard. This drug effectively produces an erection that may last up to four (4) hours when coupled with sexual stimulation.
