Viagra Connect® (Sildenafil) information

Viagra Connect is a medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It contains the active ingredient sildenafil citrate, which belongs to a class of medications called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors.
Viagra Connect is effective at treating erectile dysfunction in the majority of men (at least 80% of men). It may have less of an effect with ED caused by psychological factors, and may not work if taken alongside a heavy meal or other drugs. If you aren’t getting the results you want please contact us.
Sildenafil citrate 50mg is the active ingredient in Viagra Connect and Viagra, and is also available as a generic, unbranded tablet.
Sildenafil and Viagra Connect are medically equivalent, but Sildenafil is available at a much lower cost.
Generic medicines contain the same active ingredient and are equally effective and medically equivalent to the branded products, but are available at a lower price. Generic manufacturers have to demonstrate that they are medically identical to the branded product — in other words, they offer the same quality, strength, stability and effectiveness.
Viagra Connect can last up to 4 hours, with peak effects in 2 hours. This will depend on factors including your dosage and your body’s metabolism.
You should take Viagra Connect (Sildenafil) about one hour before you plan to have sex. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Viagra Connect (Sildenafil) can be taken with or without food, but you may find that it takes longer to start working if you have it with a heavy meal.
When taken on an empty stomach, Viagra Connect is absorbed quickly and it will usually work within 30-60 minutes, although it can take up to 120 minutes in a small percentage of men. Taking Viagra Connect with food can significantly increase the time taken for Viagra Connect to work.
Viagra Connect is registered and licensed for use in the UK and EU and can be safely taken by the majority of men with erectile dysfunction. The medicine is produced by Pfizer, who have been releasing erectile dysfunction medicines since 1996. Their medicines have been used to treat millions of men around the world with erectile dysfunction.
Like all medications, ED treatments can cause some side effects. The most common ones are: headaches, muscle aches, back pain, flushing, low blood pressure, abnormal vision and indigestion. Please speak with your GP or pharmacist if you experience any of these side effects for a prolonged period of time.
