Generic Viagra

What Is Generic Viagra?

Generic Viagra, also known as Sildenafil tablet, is an affordable alternative to brand Viagra. It is clinically proven to treat Erectile dysfunction, a condition that is characterized by the inability to get and maintain firm erections. Similar to Viagra, this ED medication contains Sildenafil Citrate as its active compound, which enhances blood flow to the penis to improve erectile function. The Generic Viagra is also known as the “little blue pill” due to its distinct blue color.

Is Sildenafil and Generic Viagra the same?

Generic Viagra and Sildenafil tablets are the same medication, but the main difference lies in the manufacturer and the drug name. Viagra is the brand name manufactured and patented by Pfizer. When the patent expired, it allowed other pharmaceutical companies to manufacture generic versions of the drug under the name Sildenafil tablet.

The Sildenafil tablet contains the same active compound as the brand Viagra. This is why they showcase similar uses, working mechanisms, and safety profile.

Why Choose Generic Viagra?

The following are the reasons why you need to choose Generic Viagra:

  • Affordable as compared to the brand drug.
  • Contains the same active ingredient with similar effectiveness.
  • Readily available through online pharmacies.
  • Generic Viagra is available in higher dosage strengths, such as 200mg, which is not available in brand Viagra.

Dosage Guidelines

You should always consult your doctor for the proper dosage instructions before taking the ED tablet. This helps in proper diagnosis and reduces the adverse effects of the drug. Beginners are always advised to start with a lower dosage. However, depending on the severity of the condition, you can adjust your dosage after consulting your healthcare provider.

The medication should be taken 30 to 60 minutes before planned sexual activity for satisfactory results.

Missed Dose

The ED medication is generally taken before planned sexual activity. Therefore, missing a dosage is not a concern.

Overdose

You should never exceed or double the dosage of the ED medication, as it might lead to an overdose. An overdose might result in several symptoms, such as:

  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Fainting
  • Prolonged painful erection
  • Blurred vision

If you notice any of the symptoms of overdose, discontinue the medication and consult a doctor immediately.

How To Take?

  • Swallow the tablet with water as a whole.
  • You should never crush, chew or break the tablet.
  • Take the pill with or without a meal as prescribed by the doctor.
  • Always avoid high-fat meals, as they slow down the effectiveness of the drug.
  • Always remember to check the expiry date of the tablet before administration.
  • Read the label of the medication carefully before taking it.
  • Try to take the ED tablet at a dosage gap of 24 hours.

How Does Generic Viagra Work?

Sexual stimulation can result in the release of a chemical called nitric oxide (NO) in the penile region of a man. This NO helps in the stimulation of the production of cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate).

The cGMP helps relax the smooth muscles in the blood vessels of the penis. This allows the blood vessels to widen and improve blood flow to the penis to get and maintain a firm erection.

When a man is suffering from erectile dysfunction, the PDE5 enzyme breaks down the cGMP, thus preventing proper blood flow to the penis. The use of generic Viagra helps in inhibiting the action of PDE5, thus improving the blood flow for a firm erection.

The effects of the drug last for about 4 to 6 hours in the body.

Precautionary Measures

The following are the precautionary measures that you should follow while taking the ED medication:

  • The medication should not be used by women or children.
  • If you are a patient of kidney or liver dysfunction, then you must take the medication with proper caution.
  • Avoid driving or operating any heavy machinery while taking the medication, as the medication might make you feel dizzy.
  • The medication should not be taken along with alcohol or grapefruit juice, as it might lower the effectiveness of the drug.
  • Always discuss your health conditions and state the ongoing medication list with your doctor before taking the ED tablet.
  • Before using Generic Viagra, inform your doctor if you have the following health conditions:
    • high or low blood pressure
    • blindness in one or both eyes
    • blood circulation problems
    • bleeding problems
    • physical deformity of the penis
    • stomach ulcer
    • blood cell disorder such as sickle cell anemia.
