Understanding Your Viagra Treatment Options
Branded vs Generic: What's the Difference?
When exploring tablet viagra options, patients often wonder about the difference between branded Viagra and generic sildenafil. Both medications contain sildenafil citrate as the active ingredient and work identically by increasing blood flow to help achieve erections when sexually stimulated. The primary difference lies in cost, with generic sildenafil typically offering substantial savings compared to the branded version.
How Tablet Viagra Works
Sildenafil belongs to a class of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors. These tablets work by blocking an enzyme that restricts blood flow, allowing improved circulation when sexual arousal occurs. It's important to understand that tablet viagra doesn't automatically cause erections - sexual stimulation is still required. Effects typically begin within 30-60 minutes and may last up to 4-6 hours, though this doesn't mean erections persist for this duration.
Dosage Options and Value Considerations
Tablet viagra is available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. Most patients start with 50mg, which can be adjusted based on effectiveness and tolerability. When comparing value, consider that both branded and generic versions offer the same dosing flexibility. Generic sildenafil provides identical therapeutic benefits at a lower cost point, making it an attractive option for many patients requiring ongoing treatment.
Clinical Assessment Requirements
Regardless of whether you choose branded or generic tablet viagra, a clinical assessment is required. This involves reviewing your medical history, current medications, and cardiovascular health to ensure treatment safety. Our UK-licensed prescribers evaluate factors such as blood pressure medications, heart conditions, and potential drug interactions before recommending appropriate treatment.
Safety Considerations
Tablet viagra isn't suitable for everyone. Patients taking nitrate medications for heart conditions, those with severe cardiovascular disease, or individuals with certain medical conditions may not be eligible. Common side effects can include headaches, facial flushing, or indigestion. Serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention, particularly prolonged erections lasting over four hours.
