What is Sildenafil?
Sildenafil (viagra tablet) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction in men, grouped under PDE5 inhibitors. It helps to increase blood flow to the penis when you are sexually stimulated, resulting in a firmer and longer-lasting erection.
It is often known as the generic version of the popular erectile dysfunction medicine Viagra (blue pill). It functions similarly to branded Viagra but comes at a lower cost.
What is the difference between Sildenafil & Viagra?
Sildenafil (Generic Viagra) and Viagra (Branded) are the same treatment for ED. They work the same way and have the same benefits. The only real difference is the price. Sildenafil is only £0.80, whereas Viagra is £8.45 per tablet.
How does it work?
Sildenafil or Viagra temporarily increases blood flow to your penis when you're sexually aroused. When you feel sexually excited, a chemical called cGMP is released, relaxing the smooth muscles in the penis. This relaxation lets more blood flow in, leading to an erection.
Remember, It doesn't boost your sexual desire. If you're dealing with low libido, it's best to consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
How to take Sildenafil?
Take one tablet around 1 hour before having sex. Food can affect how Sildenafil is absorbed, so take it on an empty stomach or with a light meal for the best results.
Sildenafil's effectiveness
Sildenafil or Viagra successfully treats ED in approximately two-thirds of cases (<65 years, 80%; 65-74 years, 69%; ≥75 years, 59%), but its effectiveness may decrease if you've had a big meal or consumed more than 1-2 units of alcohol.
The study confirmed that 25 mg/50 mg and 100 mg of Viagra tablet significantly enhanced erection quality and treatment satisfaction, reduced anxiety levels, and improved the overall sexual experience compared to the placebo.
Remember that Viagra tablet may not be effective on the first try. Use it at least eight times before considering other options. If 50 mg isn't effective, consider 100 mg for better results. If 50 mg causes side effects, switch to 25 mg; it's still effective for treating erectile dysfunction.
When does it start working?
Sildenafil tablets usually start working within 30-60 minutes. The highest amount of sildenafil citrate in your bloodstream happens around 60 minutes after you take it. Still, you might begin feeling its effects in approximately 30 minutes.
How long does Sildenafil effects last?
Generally, Sildenafil lasts approximately 2-6 hours, giving you an excellent time to engage in sexual activity with improved erectile function. It won't keep it up indefinitely after sex. The results of Sildenafil gradually fade over time and will be gone within a day.
Is Sildenafil safe?
Sildenafil or Viagra is an FDA-approved and safe medication when used as directed. Still, it's important to note that it can interact with certain other medicines.
Sometimes, these interactions can pose a risk and potentially harm health. However, there's no evidence of long-term side effects. However, if you have certain health conditions, please consult your doctor before taking it.
Please refer to the NHS online resource on Sildenafil (Viagra).
What if it doesn't work for me?
If Sildenafil doesn't work for the first time, don't give up. Try at least eight separate occasions. Sometimes, your body needs time to get used to the medication before it starts working effectively.
Alcohol consumption, meals, and mood can influence how well it works. So, consider trying Sildenafil in various situations to find what works best.
If you find that it's still not effective after attempting it eight times, it's advisable to consult with your doctor or pharmacist.
How can I get the best results from Viagra tablet?
To get the best results from viagra, it's important to follow the directions carefully. This includes taking it on an empty stomach and not drinking too much alcohol. Sildenafil or Viagra works faster when taken on an empty stomach.
If you take it after eating, it might take longer to work, especially if you've eaten a large, high-fat meal. This is because food can slow down the absorption of the medication into your bloodstream.
Tips for using Viagra tablet:
- Take it about an hour before you plan to have sex.
- Avoid eating a large meal before taking it.
- Limit your alcohol intake before or after taking sildenafil.
Other Tips include:
- Diet changes, such as reducing alcohol and fat intake
- Reducing stress levels
- Quit smoking (help for this can be found on our website)
- Talk to your doctor if you have any other health conditions, such as heart disease or high blood pressure.

Both drugs provide a similar quality of erection, but a study suggests that slightly more men achieved a satisfactory erection with Sildenafil.

Does sildenafil raise your heart rate?
