Revatio 10 mg

Revatio 10 mg medication is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This medicine is used for the treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) and rarely for Erectile Dysfunction or impotence. However, the FDA has approved this medication only for treating PAH which is also referred to as high blood pressure in the lungs. This medicine is also beneficial for improving exercises in both men and women.

The active ingredient or we can say the salt composition of Revatio 10 mg medication is Sildenafil Citrate. This drug belongs to the class of medicines known by the name Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors. This medication helps by relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs and allows blood to flow in a manner that can lower the blood pressure in the lungs. As a result, the heart can pump better and the body gets an adequate amount of oxygen which is enough for breathing and exercising easily. Individuals suffering from PAH can experience relief from this particular health condition.

Furthermore, it is thought that Revatio 20 mg could be utilized as an additional Erectile Dysfunction treatment. This drug may have some minor characteristics that allow it to be used to treat impotence or erectile dysfunction because it is highly concentrated in the salt Sildenafil. As Sildenafil also increases the blood flow throughout the body including the male sex organ (penis) so sometimes this medication is also prescribed for ED by healthcare professionals. But it is important to note that, FDA has not approved this medicine for treating ED.
