Understanding Your Viagra Alternative Options
What Are Viagra Alternatives?
When considering Viagra alternatives, the most common option is generic sildenafil. This contains the same active ingredient as branded Viagra (sildenafil citrate) but is typically available at a lower cost. At EverydayMeds, patients can choose between branded Viagra or generic sildenafil during checkout, allowing you to select the option that best suits your preferences and budget.
How Do Viagra Alternatives Work?
Both Viagra and generic sildenafil work as PDE5 inhibitors, blocking the phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme to increase blood flow to the penis when sexually aroused. The medication takes effect within 30-60 minutes and may remain effective for 4-6 hours. Sexual stimulation is still required as the medication does not cause automatic erections.
Available Dosage Options
EverydayMeds offers sildenafil in three strengths: 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets. Most patients start with the 50mg dose, which can be adjusted based on effectiveness and tolerability. Only one dose should be taken within any 24-hour period, approximately 30-60 minutes before sexual activity.
Who Can Use Viagra Alternatives?
Sildenafil alternatives are suitable for adult men over 18 experiencing erectile dysfunction. All treatments require a prescription following consultation with our UK-licensed prescribers. During the assessment, we evaluate your cardiovascular health, current medications, and medical history to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.
Important Safety Considerations
Viagra alternatives are not suitable for everyone. They should not be used by men taking nitrate medications, those with severe heart disease, or recent heart attack or stroke survivors. Our clinical assessment helps identify any contraindications to ensure your safety before prescribing any erectile dysfunction treatment.
