Perrigo Sildenafil 50mg Film-Coated Tablets

Perrigo Sildenafil 50mg Coated Tablets are used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men. They contain sildenafil, a medicine that helps increase blood flow to the penis, making it easier to get and keep an erection when sexually aroused. This medicine works only with sexual stimulation and does not increase sexual desire on its own.

Sildenafil 50mg film-coated tablets usually start to work within 30 to 60 minutes. They can be taken up to 4 hours before sexual activity, although many men take them around 1 hour beforehand. Taking the tablet after a high-fat meal can delay how quickly it starts to work.

This listing is for the 4-tablet pack, which is sold in the UK as a pharmacy medicine presentation under the Perrigo brand.

Take 1 tablet approximately 1 hour before sexual activity and swallow it whole with water. The usual dose is 50mg. Do not take more than 1 tablet in 24 hours.

This medicine may be taken with or without food. If taken after a high-fat meal, it may take longer to start working. Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice, as this can affect how sildenafil works. Drinking large amounts of alcohol can make it harder to get an erection.
