Frequently Asked Questions
Is sildenafil the same as Viagra?
Yes — sildenafil is the generic form of Viagra. It has been generic in the US since 2017 and costs $15–$25/month versus $400+ for brand Viagra.
How long does sildenafil last compared to tadalafil?
Sildenafil works within 30–60 minutes and lasts 4–6 hours. Tadalafil (generic Cialis) lasts 24–36 hours, allowing more spontaneity. Daily low-dose tadalafil (2.5–5 mg) is another option.
Can sildenafil be taken daily?
Sildenafil is generally used on-demand rather than daily. Daily tadalafil (2.5 mg) is more commonly prescribed for continuous ED management. Discuss with your prescriber which approach suits your lifestyle.
Is sildenafil safe with blood pressure medications?
Sildenafil causes vasodilation and can significantly lower blood pressure, especially when combined with nitrates (nitroglycerin). This combination is CONTRAINDICATED. Always tell your doctor all medications you take.
What does generic sildenafil cost through Script Unlock?
Generic sildenafil is one of the most dramatic cost-saving generics — often $15–$25/month through Script Unlock pharmacies versus $400+ for brand Viagra.
