How to take
- Sildenafil is an as-needed ED treatment, so you don’t have to worry about the hassle of a daily regimen. It's typically suggested that you take sildenafil on an empty stomach roughly an hour prior to engaging in sexual activity, but it's crucial to follow your healthcare provider’s specific recommendations for optimal results tailored to your experience.
Side effects
- Prescription products require an online consultation with a licensed physician who will assess whether a prescription is appropriate for you based on your personal health history.
- The associated risks of this medication may include flushing, headache, nausea, dizziness, and sensations of chest or arm pain. Rarely, patients may experience changes in vision or even loss of sight, necessitating immediate emergency care if you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours or if it becomes painful. It's important to avoid excessive alcohol consumption (e.g., 5 or more drinks) while using sildenafil to mitigate these risks.

ED? NBD
Sildenafil is FDA approved to treat erectile dysfunction and enables you to be ready for a pleasurable experience whenever the moment strikes.
Inhibits PDE5
This oral ED medication works effectively by inhibiting an enzyme known as PDE5, which plays a crucial role in the mechanism of erectogenic action.
Increases blood flow
Suppressing PDE5 allows for enhanced blood flow throughout the body—specifically to the (you guessed it) penis, enabling more natural responses during intimate moments.
Gets you hard
Increased blood flow to the penis results in firmer, more gratifying erections once you are sexually aroused, enhancing your overall satisfaction.
What is generic Viagra®?
Generic Viagra® contains sildenafil, which is the identical active ingredient found in brand-name Viagra®. This means it offers the same effectiveness for treating erectile dysfunction as the original medication. Classified as a PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) inhibitor, it works by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, leading to a temporary relaxation of smooth muscle and improved blood circulation to the penis during moments of sexual arousal. Other comparable PDE5 inhibitors include Cialis® (tadalafil), Levitra® (vardenafil), and Stendra® (avanafil).

What does generic Viagra® (sildenafil) look like?

How much does the generic for Viagra® cost?
The price for a tablet of generic Viagra® varies according to the strength of the sildenafil it contains; generally, it ranges from about $4 to $10 per individual dose compared to the higher price of $50 to $70 per dose for the brand-name version.

What is the generic name for Viagra®?
The generic name for Viagra® is sildenafil citrate, the same active component as Viagra®. Consequently, the generic version delivers the same therapeutic effect but at a significantly reduced price.
Are generic forms of Viagra® safe?
Yes, generic forms of Viagra® are considered safe and effective, similar to the brand-name version. Both were approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, with millions of men successfully utilizing either option to manage their condition. Generic medications maintain safety standards comparable to their branded counterparts. They are often less expensive for various reasons, chiefly that the brand name is no longer protected from competition from other manufacturers.
However, it’s critical to note that generic Viagra® may not be suitable for men with certain pre-existing health conditions or those taking medications that might interact adversely with sildenafil. If you have a history of heart issues, including but not limited to heart attacks, heart disease, or other circulatory problems, make sure to inform your healthcare provider. Full disclosure of your medical history and current medications is vital for your safety.
Who makes generic Viagra®?
Several reputable companies manufacture generic Viagra®, including Teva Pharmaceuticals and Greenstone, a subsidiary of Pfizer Inc., ensuring a high standard of production and efficacy.
How long does it take for sildenafil to work?
For optimal effectiveness, it's recommended to take sildenafil (generic for Viagra®) approximately one hour before planned sexual activity, as the onset of action typically occurs between 30 minutes to an hour after ingestion.
Are there potential sildenafil interactions?
It’s imperative to discuss any current use of over-the-counter, recreational, or prescription drugs, along with supplements, with your healthcare provider. Some medications, such as nitroglycerin (nitrates), isosorbide dinitrate, riociguat, ritonavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, alpha-blockers, and recreational substances known as “poppers,” have known interactions with sildenafil and could lead to serious side effects. If you are taking a PDE5 inhibitor like Revatio for pulmonary arterial hypertension, consult your doctor to determine if dosage adjustments are necessary.
Additionally, be aware of the rare, yet serious side effects associated with sildenafil, including allergic reactions, sudden loss of vision or hearing, and priapism, which is an erection lasting more than four hours. Should you experience any of these severe side effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Where can I buy generic Viagra®?
Generic Viagra® can be obtained through either an online pharmacy or a local pharmacy; however, you must have a valid prescription from a licensed medical professional. Generic Viagra® is not sold over-the-counter. To ensure you are getting authentic generic Viagra®, be sure to see a healthcare provider licensed in your state and have your prescription filled by a qualified pharmacy that is licensed and has third-party certifications like LegitScript to ensure safety.
