Description
What is Sildenafil?
Sildenafil citrate is the name of the active ingredient in the Pfizer impotence drug Viagra. Since Viagra came off patent in 2013, other pharmaceutical companies have been able to sell generic Sildenafil – also known as generic Viagra to patients in need of erectile dysfunction medication.
Sildenafil enables men with erectile dysfunction to respond to sexual stimulation. It works by helping to relax the blood vessels in the penis, allowing blood to flow into the two large chambers and achieve a hard erection. Sildenafil only assists the development and maintenance of an erection when sexually stimulated, however, and does not result in an irreversible state of arousal.
Sildenafil is a popular solution for men suffering from impotence who wish to have greater confidence in their ability to get and maintain an erection.
Why Sildenafil?
Sildenafil is medically equivalent to Viagra, offering an equally effective solution to male erectile dysfunction issues at a significantly lower cost. It can be prescribed to men:
- Of all ages
- No matter how severe erectile dysfunction may be
- Who have undergone a prostatectomy or have had partial removal of their prostate
There is no discernible difference between generic Sildenafil and it’s branded counterpart, Viagra. Sildenafil as an unbranded tablet is medically equivalent and equally effective, yet available at a much lower price.
