How to take
- Sildenafil is an as-needed ED treatment, which means you don't have to remember to take it daily. It's best to take sildenafil on an empty stomach about an hour before planning to have sexual activity. However, it's essential to follow your provider's specific recommendations to achieve optimal results.
Side effects
- Prescription products necessitate an online consultation with a physician who will make an informed decision on whether a prescription is appropriate for you, considering your medical history.
- Possible side effects include flushing, headache, nausea, dizziness, chest or arm pain, and, although rare, changes in vision or loss of sight. It's crucial to seek emergency care immediately if an erection lasts longer than 4 hours or becomes painful. Caution against excessive alcohol consumption (such as 5 or more drinks) is advised while taking sildenafil.

ED? NBD
Sildenafil is FDA approved to treat erectile dysfunction and can be taken as-needed, so you’re always prepared for spontaneous moments when they arise.
Inhibits PDE5
Sildenafil is an oral ED medication that effectively works by inhibiting an enzyme known as PDE5, leading to enhanced erectile function during sexual stimulation.
Increases blood flow
By inhibiting PDE5, sildenafil facilitates improved blood flow throughout the body, including to the penis, resulting in better sexual performance.
Gets you hard
Enhanced blood flow to the penis leads to firmer and more satisfying erections once you are adequately sexually stimulated.
What is generic Viagra®?
The generic form of Viagra® contains sildenafil, the same active ingredient as its brand-name counterpart, thereby offering equivalent efficacy for erectile dysfunction treatment. As a PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) inhibitor, it works by temporarily relaxing smooth muscle and enhancing blood flow to the penis during moments of sexual stimulation. Other PDE5 inhibitors include Cialis® (tadalafil), Levitra® (vardenafil), and Stendra® (avanafil).

What is the generic name for Viagra®?
The generic for Viagra® is identified as sildenafil citrate, which serves as the active ingredient in Viagra®. Thus, the generic version delivers the same therapeutic benefits at a more economical price.
Are generic forms of Viagra® safe?
Yes, generic forms of Viagra® are deemed safe and effective, just like Viagra®. Both the brand and generic versions have received FDA approval for treating erectile dysfunction, and millions of men have utilized either to successfully address their condition. Generic medications uphold the same safety standards as their brand-name counterparts, often at a reduced cost due to the lack of legal protection against market competition.
However, generic Viagra® may not be suitable for all individuals, especially those with various pre-existing conditions or those taking medications that could interact adversely. If you have— or have ever had— heart issues (like heart attacks, heart disease, irregular heartbeat, etc.), you should consult your healthcare provider. It's essential that your provider is fully informed of all your medical conditions, prescription drugs, and over-the-counter medications to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Who makes generic Viagra®?
Several pharmaceutical companies manufacture generic for Viagra®, including Teva Pharmaceuticals and Greenstone, a subsidiary of Pfizer Inc.
How long does it take for sildenafil to work?
For best results, take sildenafil (generic for Viagra®) approximately one hour before planned sexual activity, as it typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour to begin taking effect.
Are there potential sildenafil interactions?
If you are currently using any over-the-counter, prescription drugs, or even dietary supplements, it's vital to inform your healthcare provider. Certain medications, like nitroglycerin (nitrates), isosorbide dinitrate, riociguat, ritonavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, alpha blockers, and recreational "poppers," have documented interactions with sildenafil that could result in serious side effects. Moreover, if you are taking any other PDE5 inhibitors like Revatio for pulmonary arterial hypertension, discuss it with your doctor to determine if dosage adjustments are necessary.
It is also critical to be aware of potential rare yet serious side effects of sildenafil, including allergic reactions, hearing or vision loss, or priapism, characterized by an erection lasting for more than four hours. If any of these severe side effects occur, immediately seek emergency medical assistance.
Where can I buy generic Viagra®?
You can obtain the generic for Viagra® through a licensed local or online pharmacy, provided you have a prescription from a qualified medical provider. Generic Viagra® is not accessible over-the-counter. To guarantee the authenticity and quality of the generic for Viagra®, make sure to consult with a healthcare provider licensed in your state and have your prescription filled only at a reputable pharmacy, ideally one with third-party certifications like LegitScript.
