How to take
- Sildenafil is an as-needed ED treatment, which means you do not need to remember to take it daily. The most effective way to use sildenafil is to take it on an empty stomach approximately one hour before you plan to engage in sexual activity, although following your healthcare provider’s specific instructions will likely yield the best results for your individual needs.
Side effects
- Prescription products necessitate an online consultation with a physician who will evaluate if a prescription for sildenafil is appropriate for your circumstances.
- The potential risks associated with this medication can include flushing, headache, nausea, dizziness, chest or arm pain, and, in rare cases, changes in vision or loss of sight. If you experience an erection that lasts longer than four hours or becomes painful, you should seek emergency care immediately. It is also advisable to avoid excessive alcohol consumption (e.g., five drinks) while using sildenafil.

ED? NBD
Sildenafil is FDA approved to treat erectile dysfunction and can be taken as needed, ensuring that you are prepared for intimate moments whenever the opportunity arises, any time you desire.
Inhibits PDE5
Sildenafil functions as an oral ED medication that operates by inhibiting an enzyme in the body known as PDE5, which is responsible for regulating blood flow.
Increases blood flow
Upon the inhibition of PDE5, blood can circulate more freely throughout the body, including the penis, resulting in improved erectile function.
Gets you hard
Enhanced blood flow to the penis corresponds to firmer, more satisfying erections once sexual stimulation occurs, enhancing your overall experience.
What is generic Viagra®?
Generic Viagra® contains sildenafil, the same active ingredient found in the brand-name Viagra®, indicating that it offers similar efficacy for treating erectile dysfunction as the original version. Generic Viagra® operates as a PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) inhibitor, which works by obstructing the PDE5 enzyme, leading to the temporary relaxation of smooth muscle and an increase in blood flow to the penis during instances of sexual arousal. Other comparable PDE5 inhibitors include Cialis® (tadalafil), Levitra® (vardenafil), and Stendra® (avanafil).

What does generic Viagra® (sildenafil) look like?
While the brand Viagra® is well-known as the “little blue pill,” the generic version of Viagra® comes in a variety of colors and shapes. Legitimate pills may appear in shades of white or blue and can be either round or diamond-shaped among other variations.
How much does the generic for Viagra® cost?
The price of a generic Viagra® tablet fluctuates based on the strength of the dosage of sildenafil it contains, typically ranging from approximately $4 to $10 per dosage, in stark contrast to the price for brand-name Viagra®, which often falls between $50 to $70 per dosage. Through Hims, the generic version of Viagra® is available at a staggering discount, costing up to 95% less than its branded counterpart. Opting for generic Viagra® allows you to achieve the same therapeutic effects and dosages as Viagra® but at a significantly reduced price.

What is the generic name for Viagra®?
The active ingredient in the generic version of Viagra® is known as sildenafil citrate. This means the generic form of Viagra® promises the same therapeutic effect as the branded version but at a fraction of the cost.
Are generic forms of Viagra® safe?
Yes, generic forms of Viagra® are just as safe as their branded counterparts. Both Viagra® and the generic version have received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, and millions of men have successfully used either form to manage their condition. Generic medications maintain the same safety standards as brand-name drugs. The lower price of generics can be attributed to several factors, particularly the absence of patent protection, which allows for competition among different manufacturers.
However, it is crucial to note that the generic form of Viagra® may not be suitable for men who have certain pre-existing health conditions or who are taking medications that could interact adversely with sildenafil. If you have a history of heart problems (such as heart attacks or diseases), irregular heartbeat, angina, chest pain, narrowing of the aortic valve, heart failure, previous surgeries involving the heart, pulmonary hypertension, stroke, low blood pressure, high blood pressure, a uniquely shaped penis (Peyronie’s Disease), priapism (painful erections lasting over four hours), sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, leukemia, retinitis pigmentosa (a rare genetic eye disorder), significant vision loss, bleeding disorders, stomach ulcers, liver issues, or kidney problems (such as those requiring dialysis), your risk for adverse effects may be heightened. It is imperative that you inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you have, as well as all prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs you may be taking.
Who makes generic Viagra®?
Various manufacturers produce the generic version of Viagra®, including Teva Pharmaceuticals and Greenstone, which operates as a subsidiary of Pfizer Inc.
How long does it take for sildenafil to work?
For optimal results, take sildenafil (the generic version of Viagra®) approximately one hour before engaging in sexual activity, as it typically takes about 30 minutes to one hour to start having an effect.
Are there potential sildenafil interactions?
If you are currently taking any over-the-counter, recreational, or prescription medications or supplements, it is essential to inform your healthcare provider. Certain drugs, including nitroglycerin (nitrates), isosorbide dinitrate, riociguat, ritonavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, alpha blockers, and “poppers,” are known to have significant interactions with sildenafil that may lead to serious side effects. Additionally, if you are taking a PDE5 inhibitor, such as Revatio for pulmonary arterial hypertension, consult your doctor about whether you need to alter your dosage.
There are also some rare but severe side effects associated with sildenafil use; these include allergic reactions, potential loss of vision or hearing, or priapism, characterized by an erection lasting longer than four hours. Should you experience any of these serious adverse effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Where can I buy generic Viagra®?
You can purchase the generic version of Viagra® through either an online or local pharmacy upon obtaining a prescription from a licensed medical provider. It is important to note that the generic for Viagra® is not available over-the-counter. To ensure you receive a legitimate version of generic Viagra®, make sure to consult a healthcare provider that is licensed in your state and have your prescription fulfilled by a qualified pharmacy that is duly licensed and holds third-party accreditations, such as LegitScript.
