Sildenafil is available today at prices under $1,00 – and as such, it became (at the long last!) available to the broad spectrum of men affected by sexual dysfunctions. Arguably, for the first time in its history, Sildenafil became affordable for everyone. With up to 76% of aging men in the world affected by the condition, it is hardly any surprise that generic became a runaway bestseller.
By definition, Viagra is a drug based on sildenafil citrate, the same active substance that the original pill has in its composition. Featuring the same active ingredient, generic and brand Viagra have identical uses, posological schedules, effects, and side effects. They most often will have a different list of auxiliary ingredients (called excipients), the ones that are there to help the pill keep its form and, in case of the original tablet, give it the signature blue color. However, those will not affect the efficacy of the drug. As a matter of fact, some patients may be sensitive to excipients in brand Viagra which are not present in sildenafil generics, so they will have much more tolerance towards the non-name medication as a result.
Sildenafil are available in the vast majority of countries, including the U.S. Generic Viagra tablets can be purchased in physical pharmacies as well as in the digital space. The price of Sildenafil at Canadian drugstore is considerably lower, which is true for most items you order online. In the U.S., you can order up to 90 days’ supply of pills, so a good pharmacy will offer you a discount on bulk purchase, too. You also might consider ordering from a pharmacy with free shipping offers for bigger orders.
What can be done to minimize the side effects of Sildenafil?
- make sure your dose is right for you – talk to your prescriber about potential adjustments
- try taking the pill after a light meal, which will eliminate GIT-related side effects
- continue taking the pill; with prolonged use, the body adjusts and tolerance improves
Generic Viagra should not be taken by individuals with heart, kidney, liver or GIT problems, as well as those suffering from blood cell diseases, certain eye diseases, and penile deformities or priapism.
Prescription for the Drug
In the U.S. and the majority of European countries, Sildenafil, generic or brand, remains a prescription drug. Sildenafil pills are available without prescription in Great Britain, Norway, and New Zealand, with other countries around the world considering to follow their suit. However, one thing remains unchanged: you need to talk to a healthcare practitioner, be it your GP or a pharmacist, to a) confirm your diagnosis and b) rule out contraindications.
In separate cases, you can receive a qualified consultation online by an accredited service with professional healthcare personnel accredited for telemedicine services. They are authorized to issue prescriptions, and it can be done faster and in a more effortless way than an actual visit to your doctor’s office. Still, it is always safer to be examined by your doctor in case of ED, for reasons discussed above – oftentimes, impotence is only a tip of the iceberg.
If you are ordering Sildenafil online from a country where it can only be sold with a prescription, make sure that the pharmacy requires that you submit a valid prescription signed by your doctor or connects you to a telemedicine service.
How to choose a correct dose of Sildenafil
Sildenafil dosing range is more diversified than that of the original drug, which is an obvious benefit. You can customize your therapy with sildenafil generics, creating a perfect storm of benefits with no side effects.
The smallest Sildenafil dose is sildenafil 25 mg, the medium ones being sildenafil 50mg and sildenafil 100mg.
Always follow the doctor’s instructions when it comes to dosing. The initial dose ranges between Sildenafil 25 mg and Sildenafil 50 mg. The minimal dose might be stepped up, and the medium dose of sildenafil 50mg can be increased or decreased based on your tolerance and response. The higher doses of sildenafil, 100mg and 150mg, are reserved for men with full impotence or those who are not responsive to smaller doses. Since bigger sildenafil doses are more taxing on the body, and the excretory system in particular (sildenafil is metabolized by liver and kidneys), its use is contraindicated in patients with any kind of renal or hepatic dysfunctions
