Product details

Generic sildenafil is, in every way that matters, the same medicine as Viagra. It contains the identical active ingredient at the identical strengths, held to the same standards of quality and effect. The only real difference is the price, which is a fraction of the brand.

It works exactly as you would expect, relaxing the vessels that supply the penis so that, with arousal, blood flows in and an erection becomes reliable rather than uncertain. Taken roughly an hour ahead, it gives you a dependable window without fuss.

For most men this is the sensible starting point: proven chemistry, no compromise on results, and none of the brand premium.

  • Identical active ingredient to Viagra at a far lower cost
  • Reliable response when taken ahead of intimacy
  • Available in a range of strengths to suit you

Sildenafil citrate, the same active ingredient as Viagra.

The same mild, short lived effects as the brand: headache, flushing, nasal congestion and indigestion. Vision changes and prolonged erection are uncommon but warrant attention.
