How to take
- Sildenafil is designed as an as-needed treatment for erectile dysfunction, so you don’t need to worry about setting reminders to take it daily. For optimal effectiveness, it is recommended to take sildenafil on an empty stomach around one hour before engaging in sexual activity, but always follow your healthcare provider's guidance for the best results tailored to you.
Side effects
- Prior to obtaining a prescription, you’ll need to undergo an online consultation with a healthcare provider who will determine if sildenafil is appropriate for your needs.
- Possible side effects include flushing, headache, nausea, dizziness, chest or arm pain, and, although rare, changes in vision or even loss of sight. It’s critical to seek immediate medical assistance if you experience an erection lasting longer than four hours or one that becomes painful. Additionally, avoid excessive alcohol consumption (e.g., around five drinks) while using sildenafil to minimize further risks.

ED? No Big Deal
Sildenafil is FDA-approved for treating erectile dysfunction and can be taken as needed, ensuring you are always prepared for intimate moments.
Inhibits PDE5
Sildenafil functions as an oral medication for erectile dysfunction, effectively inhibiting an enzyme known as PDE5 that can hinder blood flow.
Increases blood flow
By inhibiting PDE5, sildenafil enables smoother blood flow throughout the body, including to the penis, enhancing your sexual experiences.
Gets you hard
Increased blood flow translates to firmer, more gratifying erections once sexual stimulation occurs, providing satisfying intimate moments.
What is generic Viagra®?
Generic Viagra® contains the same active ingredient as the brand-name version, sildenafil, which means it is equally effective in addressing erectile dysfunction. As a PDE5 inhibitor, it works by temporarily relaxing smooth muscle and enhancing blood flow to the penis when sexual stimulation occurs. Other similar medications include Cialis® (tadalafil), Levitra® (vardenafil), and Stendra® (avanafil).

What does generic Viagra® (sildenafil) look like?
While Viagra® is known as the "little blue pill," the generic variant comes in diverse colors and shapes; genuine pills may appear white or blue, round, diamond-shaped, or other configurations.
What is the cost of the generic for Viagra®?
The price of generic Viagra® tablets varies depending on the dose of sildenafil, usually costing between $4 and $10 per pill compared to the brand-name version, which can range from $50 to $70 per dose. Through Hims, you can acquire generic Viagra® for up to 95% less than the branded variant.

What is the generic name for Viagra®?
The generic name for Viagra® is sildenafil citrate, which is the active ingredient. This means that the generic form provides the same therapeutic benefits for erectile dysfunction but at a more affordable price.
Are generic forms of Viagra® safe?
Absolutely, generic Viagra® is as safe as its branded counterpart. Both medications received approval from the FDA for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, and millions of men have effectively utilized either version. Generic medications maintain the same safety profile as branded drugs. The reduced cost is primarily due to the lack of patent protections, allowing multiple manufacturers to produce the medication.
However, generic Viagra® may not be suitable for individuals with certain pre-existing health conditions or those taking medications that could interact negatively. If you have a history of heart problems (such as heart attack), heart disease, irregular heartbeat, chest pain, or any related disorders, consult your healthcare provider before use. It’s crucial for your provider to be informed about all your health conditions and the medications you are currently taking to avoid complications.
Who manufactures generic Viagra®?
Several manufacturers produce generic Viagra®, including companies like Teva Pharmaceuticals and Greenstone, which is a subsidiary of Pfizer Inc.
How long does it take for sildenafil to take effect?
To achieve the best results, take sildenafil (the generic for Viagra®) about one hour before anticipated sexual activity, as it typically requires about 30 minutes to an hour to begin showing effects.
Are there potential interactions with sildenafil?
It's crucial to communicate with your healthcare provider regarding any medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Some medications, especially nitrates like nitroglycerin, as well as riociguat, ritonavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, and alpha blockers can have well-established interactions with sildenafil, leading to significant side effects. Additionally, if you are taking any PDE5 inhibitors, such as Revatio for pulmonary arterial hypertension, consult your healthcare provider about possible adjustments in dosage.
Furthermore, be aware of rare but serious side effects of using sildenafil, including allergic reactions, as well as potential loss of vision or hearing, or priapism, where an erection persists for more than four hours. If you experience any of these serious reactions, seek emergency assistance immediately.
Where can I purchase generic Viagra®?
You can acquire the generic form of Viagra® from either an online or local pharmacy, but only with a prescription from a qualified medical provider. Please note that generic Viagra® is not available over-the-counter. To ensure you receive authentic generic Viagra®, consult a licensed healthcare provider in your state, and make sure your prescription is filled by a pharmacy that is both licensed and accredited, such as those recognized by LegitScript.
