What is Sildenafil?

Sildenafil is the generic term for the active ingredient found in Viagra and is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction. There are several different branded versions of Sildenafil, but they all possess the same active ingredient.

The branded version, Viagra, was launched onto the market in 1998 by Pfizer. In 2013, the patent became available to other manufacturers. As a result of this competition in the market, there are cheaper alternatives to Viagra currently available.

The generic name Sildenafil derives from Viagra’s main ingredient, sildenafil citrate, which is a PDE5 inhibitor. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is an enzyme that helps to regulate blood flow, and which occurs naturally in the male body.  Sometimes, PDE5 can inhibit the flow of blood to the penis, preventing a man from getting an erection.

Sildenafil and other PDE5 inhibitors help to cure erectile dysfunction by reducing the action of PDE5. Sildenafil relaxes the walls of the blood vessels that supply blood to the penis, enabling the vessels to widen and allowing enough blood to flow into the penis to achieve an erection.

What is Sildenafil used for?

While erectile dysfunction is most common among men aged between 40 and 70, it is thought that most men will suffer from impotence at some point in their lives. Sildenafil products are the most common treatment of erectile dysfunction and are usually the first option provided to men who are experiencing impotence. Whilst there are other treatments available, doctors will usually recommend PDE5 inhibitors first as they are easy to administer, low risk and last a long time. 

Sildenafil was originally tested as a treatment for pulmonary and arterial hypertension; the 4,000 men tested reported little improvement in symptoms but did notice a change in their potency. Today, a related drug, Revatio, is used to treat hypertension; it is therefore not recommended that you take Revatio and Sildenafil together.

How do you take Sildenafil?

Sildenafil comes in pill form and should be taken about an hour before sexual activity starts. It won’t induce a spontaneous erection but will help you to achieve an erection under sexual stimulation.

How long does Sildenafil last?

The effects of Sildenafil can last from four to eight hours.

Sildenafil dosage.

Sildenafil comes in three dose sizes: 25mg, 50mg and100mg. Standard practice is to start with the smallest dose, but your doctor will advise you on the dose once you have checked out and completed your online consultation.

The recommended dose is 50mg taken as needed approximately one hour before sexual activity. Based on efficacy and tolerability, the dose may be increased to 100mg or decreased to 25mg. The maximum recommended dose is 100 mg. The maximum recommended dosing frequency is once per day. If Sildenafil is taken with food, it could take longer for the pill to have an effect.

How much does Sildenafil cost?

Prices vary according to dosage and quantity, but if you are buying generic Sildenafil you will usually find it much cheaper than branded products, for as little as £19.99.

Alternative treatments to Sildenafil

PDE5 inhibitors are the preferred choice for doctors when patients first seek treatment for impotency. Other products which contain PDE5 inhibitors include: Spedra; Cialis; Levitra; Tadalafil; and, of course, Viagra.

PDE5 inhibitors work for 2/3 of patients, but if they are not successful, medical professionals recommend products such as Caverject, Viridal and Muse, which contain the vasodilating ingredient, alprostadil.

Side effects of Sildenafil

Whilst Sildenafil is used by millions of men every day as an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction, it is not right for everyone. Some people experience side effects, which include the following:

• Penile bleeding.

For a full list of symptoms, check the information leaflet.
