Eropid contains 50mg of sildenafil that treats erectile dysfunction, sometimes known as impotence, in men aged 18 years and over.
Sildenafil is a well-established drug that is tolerated well and helps to get and maintain an erection. This helps patients to fully engage in sexual intercourse, whilst also providing emotional benefits, including helping patients to regain their self-esteem, self-confidence and relationship satisfaction. It was also shown to improve depressive symptoms in patients with erectile dysfunction.

- If you are allergic to sildenafil or any of the other ingredients of this medicine.
- If you are taking medicines called nitrates, as the combination may cause a potentially dangerous decrease in your blood pressure. Tell your doctor if you are taking any of these medicines, which are often given for relief of angina pectoris (or “chest pain’). If you are not certain, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- If you are using any of the drugs known as nitric oxide donors such as amyl nitrite (‘poppers”), as the combination may also lead to a potentially dangerous decrease in your blood pressure.
