Medicines like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are popular treatments for erectile dysfunction.

Drugs like Viagra contain sildenafil citrate, the chemical that increases blood flow. Hence, these drugs are useful when one wants to achieve an erection during sexual excitement but hasn’t been able to due to inadequate flow of blood to the penis.
