What is generic Viagra®?
Generic Viagra® contains sildenafil, the same active component as brand-name Viagra®, making it equally effective for treating erectile dysfunction as its more expensive counterpart. As a PDE5 inhibitor, it temporarily relaxes smooth muscle and enhances blood circulation 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 name for Viagra® is sildenafil citrate, which is the active ingredient in the brand. Consequently, the generic form delivers identical therapeutic effects at a more affordable price, making it a popular choice among consumers.
Are generic forms of Viagra® safe?
Yes, generic versions of Viagra® maintain the same safety standards as the original. Both the branded and generic formulations have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, with countless men successfully using either option. Generic medications do not compromise medication safety; the lower price is a result of various factors, most notably the expiration of exclusive patent rights protecting brand-name products from competition.
However, generic Viagra® may not be suitable for men with certain pre-existing conditions or those taking medications that could interact adversely with sildenafil. Be sure to inform your healthcare provider of any existing health issues or prescriptions you are currently taking.

How long does it take for sildenafil to work?
When you take sildenafil (the generic form of Viagra®), it typically requires about 30 minutes to an hour to become effective, so it’s advisable to take it roughly one hour before engaging in sexual activity to achieve the best results.
Are there potential sildenafil interactions?
Always inform your healthcare provider about any over-the-counter, recreational, or prescription medications or supplements you are consuming. Certain drugs, such as nitroglycerin (nitrates), isosorbide dinitrate, riociguat, ritonavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, alpha blockers, and recreational drugs known as “poppers,” can trigger serious interactions with sildenafil. If you are on a PDE5 inhibitor, like Revatio for pulmonary arterial hypertension, consult your doctor about any necessary dosage adjustments.
Although rare, severe adverse effects of sildenafil can occur, including allergic reactions, loss of vision or hearing, or priapism (an erection lasting longer than four hours). Seek urgent medical assistance immediately should you experience any of these serious side effects.
