Viagra - Overview
Viagra is an oral medication that has been used to treat erectile dysfunction. Through Push Health, one can request a Viagra online prescription and connect with a medical provider who can prescribe the medication to a local or delivery pharmacy when appropriate to do so.
What Is Viagra Used For?
Viagra contains the active ingredient sildenafil and is used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Viagra belongs to a class of medications known as a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors and works by relaxing smooth muscle in the penis and increasing blood flow. For more information, refer to the sildenafil page.
Viagra requires sexual stimulation and can sometimes be helpful for symptoms resulting from a psychogenic etiology. Viagra works in a similar way to avanafil (Stendra), tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra).
Viagra - Dosage & Cost
Viagra medication is typically available in 25mg, 50mg and 100mg doses. Patients are frequently started on 50 mg approximately 1 hour before sexual activity but the medication can be taken up to 4 hours before sexual activity. For some patients, 25 mg might be the starting dose while 100 mg is typically the maximum dose for all patients.
Branded Viagra medication is expensive, sometimes costing as much as $55 per tablet at many pharmacies. For this reason, many patients opt to use generic Viagra which is considered bioequivalent. Viagra coupons may be available online at times and prescription discount cards may also help reduce costs associated with the medication.
Can I Buy Viagra Online?
Viagra is a prescription medication and the medication is not available over-the-counter. Push Health can connect people who might need a Viagra prescription with a licensed medical provider who can prescribe the branded or generic version of the medication to a local or delivery pharmacy when appropriate to do so.
Viagra - Frequently Asked Questions
Is Viagra the same as sildenafil?
Yes. Viagra is the brand name for sildenafil. Both contain the same active ingredient at the same doses and are bioequivalent. Generic sildenafil became available in 2017 and is now the most commonly dispensed form at pharmacies and is more affordable than branded Viagra.
How long does Viagra last?
Viagra's effects typically last approximately 4 to 6 hours after taking a dose. Onset of action is usually within 30 to 60 minutes, though a high-fat meal can delay this. Viagra should not be taken more than once in a 24-hour period. For a longer duration option - up to 36 hours - tadalafil (Cialis) may be a better fit.
What is the difference between Viagra and Cialis?
Viagra (sildenafil) lasts 4 to 6 hours and should ideally be taken on an empty stomach for optimal absorption. Cialis (tadalafil) lasts up to 36 hours and is not affected by food, making it more flexible for spontaneous use. Tadalafil also has a once-daily low-dose option and an FDA-approved indication for BPH that sildenafil does not. Both are effective for ED and are available as affordable generics. For a full comparison, see the erectile dysfunction service page.
Can I take Viagra if I use blood pressure medication?
It depends on the medication. Viagra and all PDE5 inhibitors lower blood pressure and can have additive effects when combined with antihypertensive medications. Certain blood pressure medications - particularly alpha-blockers like tamsulosin - can cause significant additional blood pressure lowering in combination with sildenafil. Most men on other types of blood pressure medication can use Viagra safely with provider guidance. Viagra is absolutely contraindicated with nitrate medications - including nitroglycerin and isosorbide - due to the risk of severe, life-threatening hypotension.
Is generic sildenafil as effective as Viagra?
Yes. Generic sildenafil is bioequivalent to Viagra - it contains the same active ingredient at the same dose and has the same clinical effect. The FDA requires bioequivalence before generic approval. Generic sildenafil is dispensed at most pharmacies in place of branded Viagra and is typically under $2 per tablet.
Can I get a Viagra prescription online?
Yes. Through Push Health, men who need a Viagra (sildenafil) prescription can connect with a licensed medical provider who can evaluate their situation and prescribe sildenafil medication when appropriate - without an office visit. Prescriptions are sent electronically to a pharmacy of the patient's choice.
Viagra - Side Effects
Viagra can cause side effects when used although it is generally well tolerated. Side effects from medication use include dizziness, low blood pressure, rash, visual changes, headaches and congestion. Viagra should not be used more than once per day. The medication does not cure erectile dysfunction or protect the user or a partner from a sexually transmitted disease. Questions and concerns about using the medication should be discussed with one's medical provider.
