Side effects
- Prescription products necessitate an online consultation with a physician who will assess whether a prescription is suitable for you.
- Potential risks associated with this medication may encompass flushing, headaches, nausea, dizziness, chest or arm pain, and in rare instances, alterations in vision or even loss of sight. It's crucial to seek emergency medical attention immediately if you experience an erection lasting longer than four hours or if it becomes painful. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption (e.g., more than five drinks) when utilizing sildenafil.

ED? NBD
Sildenafil is FDA approved to treat erectile dysfunction and can be taken as-needed, ensuring that you’re always prepared for a pleasurable experience at any moment.
Inhibits PDE5
Sildenafil is an oral medication designed for ED, functioning effectively by inhibiting an enzyme in the body known as PDE5.
Increases blood flow
By inhibiting PDE5, blood can circulate more freely throughout the body, allowing for increased blood flow to the (you guessed it) penis.
Gets you hard
Enhanced blood flow to the penis results in firmer, more satisfying erections once you are sexually stimulated.
What is generic Viagra®?
Generic Viagra® contains sildenafil, the identical active ingredient found in brand-name Viagra®, which signifies that it is equally effective for treating erectile dysfunction as the original ED medication. Generic Viagra® is a PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) inhibitor that works by obstructing the PDE5 enzyme, which momentarily relaxes smooth muscle and enhances blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. Other comparable PDE5 inhibitors include Cialis® (tadalafil), Levitra® (vardenafil), and Stendra® (avanafil).

What does generic Viagra® (sildenafil) look like?
While Viagra® is easily recognized as the “little blue pill,” its generic counterpart can come in a multitude of colors and shapes. Authentic pills may be white or blue, round or diamond-shaped, etc.
How much does the generic for Viagra® cost?
The price of a generic Viagra® tablet fluctuates depending on the dosage strength of sildenafil it contains, but generally ranges from about $4 to $10 per dose, contrasting with the $50 to $70 per dose for brand-name Viagra®. Through Hims, the generic version of Viagra® is priced at up to 95% less than its branded counterpart. Opting for generic Viagra® is the most cost-effective way to achieve the same effect and dosing as Viagra® without breaking the bank.

What is the generic name for Viagra®?
The generic name for Viagra® is sildenafil citrate, which is the active component present in Viagra®. This indicates that the generic version of Viagra® will deliver equivalent therapeutic effects, yet at a lower price point.
Are generic forms of Viagra® safe?
Indeed, generic formulations of Viagra® are just as secure as the original Viagra®. Both Viagra® and its generic version have received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, and millions of men have utilized either Viagra® or its generic variant to address their erectile dysfunction issues. Generic medications do not compromise safety; they are simply more affordable due to various factors, primarily the expiration of patent protection for brand-name products, which allows competition from other manufacturers.
However, generic Viagra® may not be suitable for men with specific pre-existing medical conditions or those taking medications that could interact negatively with sildenafil. If you have (or have ever experienced) heart-related issues—such as a heart attack, heart disease, irregular heartbeat, angina, chest pain, a narrowing of the aortic valve, heart failure, heart surgery, pulmonary hypertension including pulmonary arterial hypertension, stroke, low blood pressure, high blood pressure, a deformed penis shape (Peyronie’s Disease), or priapism (an erection lasting more than four hours), or conditions like sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, leukemia, retinitis pigmentosa (a rare genetic eye disease), severe vision issues (such as NAION), bleeding problems, or liver/kidney disorders (like kidney dialysis), you might be at an elevated risk for adverse effects. Inform your healthcare provider of all existing health conditions as well as any prescription and over-the-counter medications you are currently taking.
Who makes generic Viagra®?
Several manufacturers produce generic versions 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®) about one hour prior to engaging in sexual activity, as it typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour to start working effectively.
Are there potential sildenafil interactions?
If you are currently using any over-the-counter, recreational, or prescription medications or supplements, you should inform your healthcare provider. Certain medications, such as nitroglycerin (nitrates), isosorbide dinitrate, riociguat, ritonavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, alpha blockers, and “poppers,” are known to cause significant drug interactions with sildenafil and could potentially lead to serious side effects. If you are taking any PDE5 inhibitors, such as Revatio for pulmonary arterial hypertension, consult your doctor about possible dosage adjustments.
There are also rare but serious side effects associated with sildenafil, including allergic reactions, loss of vision/hearing, or priapism (an erection that lasts for more than four hours). Seek emergency medical assistance if you encounter any of these severe side effects.
Where can I buy generic Viagra®?
You can obtain the generic version of Viagra® from either an online or local pharmacy, provided you have a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. It is important to note that generic Viagra® is not available for purchase over the counter. To ensure you receive authentic generic Viagra®, make certain you are consulting with a healthcare provider licensed in your state and have your prescription filled by a qualified pharmacy that holds licensing in your state and maintains third-party accreditations such as LegitScript.
