How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Sildenafil 1% Topical Cream is a specially compounded prescription medication designed to treat conditions such as erectile dysfunction (ED) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The active ingredient in this formulation is sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. This class of medications works by preventing the breakdown of a chemical known as cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which aids in relaxing the muscles in the penis and lungs, thereby improving blood flow.

This topical cream is designed for direct application to the penis or lungs, depending on the condition being treated. It is dispensed in a pump mechanism for convenient and controlled application. The cream should be applied once daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist when using this medication. Always remember to wash your hands before and after applying the cream, and avoid applying it to broken or irritated skin.

While Sildenafil 1% Topical Cream is generally well tolerated, some users may experience side effects such as skin irritation, redness, itching, or burning. If you experience any of these or other side effects, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately.
