Hi,

Yes, this tablets are usually sold for sex, but it has another function, which is now used widely in medicine. It can lower the pressure in pulmonary artery. It is the vessel taking blood from the heart to the lungs.
High pressures in that vessel may develop in patients with heart defects, such as yours, so we prescribe this medication, to decrease the pressure there.
However, if the pressure went up in your pulmonary artery, I would recommend you to talk to your doctor about the possibility of the surgery.

Wishing you a good health.

In case of any further questions don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards,
Dr. Baghdasaryan
