Contents of the pack and additional information

SildenafiloMacleodscontains the active ingredient sildenafilo, which belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by helping to relax the blood vessels in the penis, allowing blood to flow into the penis when you become sexually aroused. SildenafiloMacleodswill only help you get an erection if you feel sexually stimulated.
