Morphology
The phrase is compositional: 'sildenafil' names the active drug and 'citrate' denotes the citrate salt/formulation, so a learner who knows both words can infer this refers to the citrate form of the medication. Chemical naming patterns like X + citrate are cross-linguistically common, making the overall meaning (a specific form of the drug) directly derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Sildenafil citrate is the chemical, scientific name for the drug sold as Viagra, so you can think of it as the long, medical name for the familiar blue pill. That's why sildenafil citrate means the medicine used 'to treat erectile dysfunction'.
