Sildenafil(Generic for Viagra®)

Sildenafil is the generic form of Viagra®, a medication commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping men achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated. Sildenafil belongs to a class of drugs called PDE5 inhibitors, which relax the blood vessels in the body, particularly in the genital area. While it offers the same active ingredient and effects as Viagra®, the generic version is often more affordable. It typically comes in different doses, depending on the needs and health conditions of the individual.

To take Sildenafil effectively, follow these steps:

Timing: Take the pill 30-60 minutes before you plan to engage in sexual activity. This allows the medication time to work, helping you achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated.

With or Without Food: Sildenafil can be taken with or without food. However, avoid high-fat meals as they may slow down the absorption of the medication, making it take longer to work.

Dosage: Follow the prescribed dosage from your healthcare provider. Typically, it comes in doses of 25 mg, 50 mg, or 100 mg. Do not exceed the recommended dose without consulting your doctor.

Sexual Stimulation Required: Sildenafil only works when there is sexual arousal or stimulation. It will not cause an erection just by taking the pill alone.

Limit Alcohol: Limit alcohol intake when using Sildenafil, as too much alcohol can reduce its effectiveness and increase the risk of side effects.

Always follow the guidance of your healthcare provider for safe and effective use.
