More than 25 years later it is generic, inexpensive, and backed by one of the largest bodies of real-world evidence any medication has. Ours is the same molecule as the brand-name product, prescribed after a licensed clinician reviews your health intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 2.2em 0 0.9em;\"\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1.2em; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eAn erection is hydraulics: arousal signals tell the blood vessels in the penis to relax and fill. Sildenafil blocks an enzyme called PDE5 that cuts that process short, so when you are sexually stimulated, blood flows in more easily and stays longer. Two things follow from this mechanism. First, it only works alongside arousal; it will not cause an erection at your desk. Second, it fixes the mechanics, not the mood: if your problem is desire rather than performance, look at PT-141 or have your testosterone checked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 2.2em 0 0.9em;\"\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1.2em; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eTake it 30 to 60 minutes before sex, ideally not right after a heavy or fatty meal, which slows absorption. The window of effectiveness runs roughly four to six hours. Most men respond on the first or second try, and if the starting dose underperforms, your clinician can adjust it. Alcohol in moderation is fine; a lot of it works against you, chemically and otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 2.2em 0 0.9em;\"\u003eSide effects and who it's not for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1.2em; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eThe common side effects are headache, facial flushing, stuffy nose, and indigestion, usually mild and short-lived. A small number of men notice a temporary bluish tint to their vision. The one rule that has no exceptions: never combine sildenafil with nitrates (nitroglycerin, isosorbide, or \"poppers\"), because the combination can drop blood pressure dangerously. Tell your clinician about any heart condition or blood pressure medication during review; that is exactly what the review is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 2.2em 0 1.1em;\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin: 0 0 1em; padding: 0.4em 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; padding: 0.3em 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same as Viagra®?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.9em 0 0.6em; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eSame active ingredient, same mechanism, same doses available. Viagra® is the brand; sildenafil is the generic. The difference is price, and it is not small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin: 0 0 1em; padding: 0.4em 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; padding: 0.3em 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSildenafil or tadalafil?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.9em 0 0.6em; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eSildenafil is the on-demand classic with a four-to-six-hour window. Tadalafil lasts up to 36 hours and also comes in a low daily dose that removes timing from the equation entirely. If you plan, sildenafil serves you well; if you would rather never plan, look at tadalafil. Your clinician will help you choose, and many men try both before settling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin: 0 0 1em; padding: 0.4em 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; padding: 0.3em 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt works, but my interest just isn't what it was. Is this still the right product?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.9em 0 0.6em; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eMaybe not, and that distinction matters. Sildenafil fixes blood flow, not desire. If the machinery works but the drive is missing, the more likely culprits are low testosterone or the desire pathways in the brain. That is what our TRT and PT-141 products address, and your clinician can help you figure out which conversation to have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin: 0 0 1em; padding: 0.4em 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; padding: 0.3em 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes insurance cover this?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0.9em 0 0.6em; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003eNo. In our telehealth setup, insurance coverage is unfortunately not possible, so you pay directly. At $3.33 to $5.00 per dose depending on pack size, sildenafil is the rare medication where that barely matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 2.4em 0 0; padding-top: 1.2em; border-top: 1px solid #e5e1d8; font-size: 0.82em; color: #888; line-height: 1.55;\"\u003eAll trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
