What is the original Viagra brand?

Viagra is the original brand name of sildenafil, a prescription medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. The first Viagra brand tablets were marketed by Pfizer.

Who makes Viagra (the original brand)?

Pfizer markets Viagra as the original brand version of sildenafil.

Is generic sildenafil the same as “original Viagra”?

Generic sildenafil is the same active ingredient as Viagra (sildenafil) and is intended to produce the same therapeutic effect, but it is not the original brand product. The main difference is branding (and typically excipients and pricing), not the drug’s purpose.

What’s the difference between “Viagra” and other sildenafil products?

Other sildenafil products include:
- Generic sildenafil tablets (not branded as Viagra)
- Different branded sildenafil products in some countries
- Other erectile dysfunction drugs (like tadalafil or vardenafil), which are different medicines

The “original brand” specifically refers to the Viagra product.
