What is this medicine?
Sildenafil Soft tablets are equivalent to regular Sildenafil Citrate. This medicine is also used to treat erection problems in men. Soft tabs are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, as such, they require a much smaller dosage to achieve the same result.

How should I take this medicine?
Sildenafil Citrate soft tabs enter into the bloodstream within approximately within 15-20 minutes. The dose is usually taken 30-45 minutes before sexual activity. For some men, a half tab is adequate to receive the desired results.
You should never take more than one tab at any one time and not more than once a day.
