Abstract
Sexual medicine has evolved greatly in the past several years, to a large extent because of the introduction of the phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor, Viagra (sildenafil citrate), as a highly effective oral therapy for erectile dysfunction. Recent literature pertaining to the development and clinical applications of sildenafil citrate was reviewed. The emergence of PDE5 inhibitor therapy for erectile dysfunction represents a major scientific and clinical breakthrough, and it has impacted on the field in such prominent areas as scientific discovery, clinical management, and public health awareness of sexual health disorders. The development of sildenafil citrate has had a major role in advancing the field of sexual medicine.
