Viagra®

• Sildenafil, known as generic Viagra, is the non-branded form of the medication.
• It costs up to 95% less than the branded Viagra®, and is equally effective in treating erectile dysfunction.
• Both Viagra and generic Viagra® include the same active ingredient, sildenafil.

Generic Viagra (sildenafil) is a reliable option when you want to be prepared for sex. Here’s some advice on how to the most from it:

1. Take a tablet 30–60 minutes before you want to have sex. It remains effective for about 4–6 hours.
2. For best results, take it on an empty or nearly empty stomach, and avoid fatty foods and alcohol beforehand.
3. Sexual arousal is necessary for sildenafil to work, as it won’t cause an erection automatically, so starting with foreplay is recommended.

• As with any medication, erectile dysfunction treatments like generic Viagra can have some side effects.
• Only about 16% of men taking generic Viagra experience side effects, such as headaches, facial flushing, and indigestion.
• Side effects generally subside when you stop taking treatment.
