What Is Sildenafil 50mg?

Sildenafil is a prescription medication in the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor class, best known under the brand name Viagra. It is FDA-approved to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow to the penis when sexually stimulated. Sildenafil does not cause an erection on its own and does not affect sexual desire. It is taken as needed before sexual activity, not on a daily schedule for ED.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is sildenafil used for?

Sildenafil is FDA-approved to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It improves blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping to achieve and maintain an erection. A different formulation of sildenafil (Revatio) is used for pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Is sildenafil the same as Viagra?

Yes, sildenafil is the active ingredient in Viagra. Generic sildenafil contains the same medication at the same strengths and is held to the same FDA standards, typically at a lower cost.

Do I need a prescription for sildenafil?

Yes, sildenafil is a prescription-only medication in the U.S. A licensed healthcare provider must review your health history and medications to confirm it is safe and appropriate for you before it can be dispensed.

How long does sildenafil take to work?

Sildenafil typically begins working within 30 to 60 minutes and may be taken up to 4 hours before sexual activity. Sexual stimulation is required for it to work, and taking it with a high-fat meal can delay its effect.

How does ordering and shipping work?

After you place your order, a licensed provider reviews your health information; if appropriate, a prescription is issued and filled by a licensed U.S. pharmacy. Your medication ships directly to you in discreet packaging.

How often can I take sildenafil?

Sildenafil should be taken no more than once per day. Take it only as needed before sexual activity, and follow the dose your provider prescribes.

Who should not take sildenafil?

Anyone taking nitrate medications (such as nitroglycerin) or riociguat should not take sildenafil, as the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. It may also be unsafe for people with certain heart, liver, or eye conditions, so a provider review is required.
