  1. Take sildenafil about 30 minutes to one hour before sexual activity for ED.
  2. For PAH, follow your doctor’s dosing instructions, usually taken three times a day with or without food.
  3. Do not take sildenafil more than once a day.

Possible Side Effects

While non prescription sildenafil is generally safe when used as prescribed, it can cause side effects. Common side effects may include:

  • Headache
  • Facial flushing
  • Upset stomach
  • Nasal congestion
  • Back pain

If you experience severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Internship Benefits

Our Internships provide the university-enrolled students or the fresh graduates with a meaningful experience in the medical industry. Students gain valuable learning experiences through projects determined by each department. The projects vary for each intern depending on the departmental needs. 

These internship programs serve as stepping stones for each intern for achieving bigger milestones in their career by improving their knowledge and hands-on experience. Many students will continue their education to become doctors, physician assistants, and nurses.

At the successful completion of the internship, a letter of recommendation is awarded and their work is posted on our website to be shared with universities and prospective employers.
