Abstract
Erectile dysfunction is a common and multi-factorial disease that strongly impairs the quality of life in men. During the past decade, many new therapeutic strategies have become available. But the need for oral treatment was strongly felt. This need appears to have been fulfilled with the introduction of sildenafil. The drug acts by enhancing smooth muscle relaxant effect of nitric oxide. A number of clinical studies have now proved its safety and efficacy. The drug has shaken social life all over the world and to accept this "magic pill" or not remains the question of individual choice.
