Order Cheap Viagra

More than 18 million American men are believed to suffer from some degree of erectile dysfunction. For some patients, the solution is choosing between name brand and generic Viagra for the treatment of their ED.

Generic Viagra vs. Name Brand Viagra

In 1998, Pfizer received approval from the FDA for Viagra to be used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. As of 2007, Viagra accounted for about one-half of the erectile dysfunction treatment market. The active ingredient in Viagra, sometimes also called The Little Blue Pill, is sildenafil citrate.

While the brand name of the drug is well-known thanks to millions of dollars spent on advertising, a generic version is also available. The generic form, known simply by its active ingredient sildenafil, provides the same effectiveness as the Pfizer version. One difference between the two versions is the inactive ingredients, such as the coloring. The inactive ingredients have little or no effect on how the drug works or its overall safety.

One big difference between the two versions is the price. For the 100 milligram version of sildenafil, the average price per pill ranged from $1 to $2. For name brand Viagra, the price per 100 milligram pill is between $12 and $20. That means the generic version costs approximately one-tenth of the Pfizer version.

Because there is no difference in the active ingredients in the two versions and because the of the significant price difference between the two versions, generic version offers a more affordable option for men suffering from erectile dysfunction.

How Viagra Works

Regardless of the version of the medication purchased, the active ingredient continues to work in the same way. Sildenafil causes greater release of nitric oxide in the body. When nitric oxide (NO) is in the body, it interferes with phosphodiesterase type 5, more commonly referred to as PDE5. That is crucial in men who have trouble obtaining erections because PDE5 destroys an enzyme in the body called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This enzyme is responsible for causing the muscles to relax so that blood can more easily flow into the penis and lead to an erection.

The good news about the way sildenafil works in the body is that it is very selective meaning it will not interfere with the other types of phosphodiesterase present in the body, such as PDE3 which affects the cardiac muscles. This reduces the risk of serious complications.

Although the release of the NO is very effective in the body, it will not work unless accompanied by sexual stimulation.

For the results to begin working, Viagra must be taken at least one hour before sexual activity s intended to begin. Men can take the medication or its generic form up to four hours prior to sexual activity.

Both the generic and the name brand versions of Viagra can help men obtain an erection more easily thanks to the effectiveness of the drug’s active ingredient which makes blood flow into the penis less difficult. However, these results can be obtained for a more reasonable price using the generic version.
