Generic for viagra?

Yes. The generic is sildenafil citrate.

- What it is: The same active ingredient as Viagra, sold as generic sildenafil tablets.
- Availability: Typically 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg tablets. In the U.S., it requires a prescription.
- Dosing basics: Common starting dose is 50 mg about 1 hour before sexual activity, adjustable to 25–100 mg based on effectiveness and tolerability. Do not exceed 100 mg in 24 hours.
- How it works and timing: It’s a PDE-5 inhibitor that helps achieve/maintain an erection when sexually aroused. Onset can be 30–60 minutes; high-fat meals can delay absorption.
- Important safety: Do not take with nitrates (nitrate medications) or certain blood pressure meds without a clinician’s guidance. Side effects can include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, upset stomach, dizziness. Seek urgent care for an erection lasting >4 hours (priapism) or for sudden vision/hearing loss.
- Where to get it: Through a healthcare provider (prescription) and a reputable pharmacy. Generics are usually cheaper than the brand.
