Sildenafil is the generic brand of Viagra. The Food and Drug Administration requires that generic drugs be bioequivalent to brand-name medications. Therefore, the generic drug must have the same active ingredient, strength, and dosage. Because patent restrictions have expired, generic medications can be offered at a lower price than brand-name medications.
Sildenafil wears off in about four hours. Most men take sildenafil about one hour before anticipated sexual activity. It takes about 30 minutes to work, and the effects last for about four hours.
It is important to differentiate the effects of the medication from an erection. Sildenafil requires sexual stimulation to work. Once it does, an erection should not last more than four hours. Prolonged, painful erections can cause damage to the penis.
The recommended adult dose for sildenafil is one 50mg tablet daily as directed. The maximum recommended dose is 100 mg daily.
Your healthcare provider will determine the best sildenafil dosage for you based on your past medical history and any medications you may be taking. It is important to not take more sildenafil than is prescribed and not take a dose more than once every 24 hours.
