Complete Guide to Viagra Treatment Options
Understanding Viagra vs Sildenafil Options
Viagra contains the same active ingredient as generic sildenafil - sildenafil citrate. The branded Viagra comes from Pfizer, whilst generic sildenafil offers identical therapeutic effects at a lower cost. EverydayMeds provides both options, allowing patients to choose based on personal preference during checkout. Both require the same clinical assessment and prescription process.
How Viagra Works for Erectile Dysfunction
Viagra belongs to a class of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors. When sexually aroused, it helps increase blood flow to the penis by blocking the phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme. Important to understand that Viagra doesn't cause automatic erections - sexual stimulation remains necessary. The medication simply helps achieve and maintain erections when natural arousal occurs.
Dosage and Administration Guidelines
Starting doses typically begin at 50mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Depending on effectiveness and tolerability, prescribers may adjust this to 25mg or increase to 100mg. Only one dose should be taken within any 24-hour period. Fatty meals may delay the onset of action, so taking on an empty stomach often provides quicker results.
Safety Considerations and Contraindications
Viagra isn't suitable for everyone. Men taking nitrate medications for heart conditions cannot safely use Viagra due to dangerous blood pressure interactions. Other contraindications include severe heart disease, recent stroke or heart attack, severe liver problems, or very low blood pressure. Our clinical assessment evaluates these factors before prescribing.
