Generic Viagra, Prescribed Online

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). All of these drugs have the same mechanism of action, but there are subtle differences that may lead the doctor to recommend one drug over the other based on your treatment goals.

Viagra® was originally patented by Pfizer and brought to the US market in 1998. It is FDA-approved to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). After the patent expired, the FDA gave permission to other drug companies to market a generic version of Viagra®. The FDA requires generic drugs to be bioequivalent to the brand name version. This means that they act the same way in the body and are expected to produce the same effects as the original brand name drug. Generic drugs are generally much cheaper than the original brand name drug, and most drugs prescribed in the US are generic.

Sildenafil citrate is the chemical name of the active ingredient in Viagra®. When sildenafil is sold in 25, 50, or 100 mg dosages, it’s called Viagra® or it is the generic for Viagra®.

Ro offers genuine, branded Viagra® and generic Viagra® to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in 25, 50, or 100 mg dosages. The active ingredient, sildenafil citrate, is identical in both medications.

Cialis® and Viagra® are each brand name medications used to treat erectile dysfunction. While they both start working within about an hour, Viagra® remains effective for about 4 hours, while Cialis® can remain effective for as long as 24-36 hours. Keep in mind that these medications do not automatically induce erections—you need to be aroused for them to work—so the amount of time they remain in your system just reflects the window during which they make it easier to get an erection. While Viagra® is only taken on an as-needed basis and requires some planning ahead, certain strengths of Cialis® can be prescribed as a daily medication, which means you don’t need to plan as carefully.
