Viagra/sildenafil
Viagra, nicknamed “the little blue pill”, is a drug that is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It comes in three doses, 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg. The 50 mg dose is the most commonly used dose, although some people may benefit from higher or lower doses. Viagra is part of a family of medicines used to treat ED called phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5i). Other drugs in this family include Cialis (tadalafil), Levitra (vardenafil), and Stendra (avanafil). Viagra has been found safe and effective since it was introduced by Pfizer and FDA-approved in the ’90s, but it’s still prescription drugs. This means that you need to talk with a healthcare provider before using them.
