Viagra

Erectile dysfunction treatment

Viagra is a brand name for sildenafil, a medication that treats erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow to the penis.

The drug became widely available in the late 1990s and transformed both urology and cultural conversations about male sexual performance.

Viagra is sometimes used figuratively for anything that revitalizes or reinvigorates: The tax cuts were supposed to be Viagra for the economy.
