Viagra vs Sildenafil: Comparing Your Treatment Options
Clinical Evidence and Real-World Results
Viagra has demonstrated consistent effectiveness across multiple clinical trials involving thousands of participants. Studies indicate that approximately 70-85% of men with erectile dysfunction may experience improved erections when using sildenafil-based treatments. The medication works by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme, increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal. Results typically become apparent within 30-60 minutes of taking the medication, with effects potentially lasting 4-6 hours.
Branded Viagra vs Generic Sildenafil
Both options contain the same active ingredient - sildenafil citrate - but differ in cost and branding. Pfizer's branded Viagra remains the original formulation, whilst generic sildenafil offers identical therapeutic benefits at a reduced price point. EverydayMeds provides both choices during checkout, allowing patients to select based on personal preference and budget considerations. Generic alternatives can cost significantly less whilst maintaining equivalent clinical efficacy.
Dosage Options and Personalisation
Sildenafil is available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. Most men start with 50mg, taken approximately one hour before sexual activity. Dosage may be adjusted based on individual response and tolerability. Our prescribers evaluate medical history, current medications, and health status to recommend appropriate starting doses. Maximum dosing frequency is once per 24-hour period, regardless of strength selected.
Safety Considerations and Eligibility
Viagra and sildenafil require prescription-only medicine status in the UK due to potential contraindications and drug interactions. Men taking nitrate medications for heart conditions cannot safely use sildenafil due to dangerous blood pressure interactions. Recent heart attacks, strokes, severe liver problems, or very low blood pressure may also contraindicate use. Our clinical assessment process identifies these factors before prescribing.
