Viagra is a popular medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Viagra which is also referred to generically as sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase (PDE) 5A inhibitor (PDE5A), and works by inhibiting the breakdown of the enzymes that lead to ED. Initially, Viagra was developed as a treatment for high blood pressure and to alleviate angina, which is characterized as chest pain associated with coronary heart disease.

However, during testing it was discovered that Viagra slowed the release of the enzyme PDE5, resulting in an increase in cGMP levels, resulting in increased erections in men suffering from erectile dysfunction.

Viagra, which is manufactured by Pfizer Inc., received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 1998, and quickly became a billion dollar medication used by thousands of men across the country.
