PDE5 inhibitors are clinically indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Sildenafil citrate, one of the PDE5 inhibitors, is also indicated for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension, and the chemically related drugs tadalafil and vardenafil have been studied as other possible treatments for this disease.

Recent studies are exploring its potential for increasing neurogenesis after stroke.
