ED? NBD
Sildenafil is FDA approved to effectively treat erectile dysfunction and can be taken on an as-needed basis to ensure you are always ready for a pleasurable experience, whenever the moment strikes.
Inhibits PDE5
Sildenafil acts as an oral ED medication that functions by suppressing a specific enzyme in the body known as PDE5.
Increases blood flow
With the suppression of PDE5, blood circulation is enhanced throughout the body—including to the penis, which is essential for achieving an erection.
Gets you hard
Increased blood flow to the penis results in harder, more satisfying erections, provided there is sexual stimulation involved.
What is generic Viagra®?
Generic Viagra® contains sildenafil, the same active ingredient as brand-name Viagra®, ensuring that it is equally effective in treating erectile dysfunction as the original medication. Classified as a PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) inhibitor, it temporarily relaxes smooth muscle and enhances blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. Other PDE5 inhibitors include Cialis® (tadalafil), Levitra® (vardenafil), and Stendra® (avanafil).

What is the generic name for Viagra®?
The generic form of Viagra® is referred to as sildenafil citrate, which is the active ingredient found in Viagra®. This means that the generic variant will yield the same therapeutic effect but at a reduced cost.
Are generic forms of Viagra® safe?
Absolutely, generic forms of Viagra® are just as safe as the branded version. Both generic Viagra® and Viagra® have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, and millions of men have relied on either form to effectively manage their condition. The safety and effectiveness of the medication remain uncompromised in generics. The lower price point compared to the branded medication can be attributed to numerous factors, primarily due to the absence of legal protection preventing competition from other manufacturers.
However, generic Viagra® may not be suitable for men with certain pre-existing medical conditions or those taking medications that could interact negatively with sildenafil. If you have (or have previously experienced) heart-related issues, low or high blood pressure, deformities like Peyronie's disease, or are on any medication that might interact with sildenafil, it is crucial to discuss this with your healthcare provider. They must be fully informed about all medical conditions, prescriptions, and over-the-counter medications you may be taking.
Who makes generic Viagra®?
A variety of pharmaceutical companies produce generic forms of Viagra®, including Teva Pharmaceuticals and Greenstone, a subsidiary of Pfizer Inc., ensuring consistent quality.
How long does it take for sildenafil to work?
It is recommended to take sildenafil (generic for Viagra®) approximately one hour prior to planned sexual activity, as it typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour to start being effective.
Are there potential sildenafil interactions?
If you are on any prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, or supplements, it is imperative to inform your healthcare provider. Certain medications, including nitroglycerin (nitrates), riociguat, and certain azole antifungals, can interact adversely with sildenafil and pose serious health risks. Additionally, if you are currently taking another PDE5 inhibitor, such as Revatio for pulmonary arterial hypertension, please consult your doctor about possible dosage adjustments.
Also, be aware of potential severe side effects of sildenafil, such as allergic reactions, loss of vision or hearing, and priapism (an erection lasting over four hours). If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Where can I buy generic Viagra®?
Generic Viagra® can be obtained through either online or local pharmacies with a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. It is important to note that generic Viagra® is not available over-the-counter. To ensure you are receiving genuine generic Viagra®, consult a healthcare provider licensed in your state and have your prescription filled by a reputable pharmacy that is licensed and accredited by third-party organizations like LegitScript.
