What is Sildenafil?

Sildenafil (generic Viagra) is the name of the medication that stimulates penile erection in men and falls under the brand name Pfizer. Since June 24, 2013, the patent for Viagra has expired, and therefore generic Viagra is now also on the market. Other manufacturers are now allowed to sell the product as well, but under a different brand name.

The active ingredient in the medication is the same, but it contains excipients that can increase the risk of side effects. It is also used to treat impotence in men who have problems with their erection. The active ingredient induces an erection, making it possible to resume sexual intercourse.

How should you use Sildenafil?

Sildenafil should be taken whole with water, approximately half an hour to an hour before sexual activity. How quickly Sildenafil works depends on the individual and the amount of Sildenafil in the pill. It is important to use only one pill every 24 hours. This minimizes the risk of side effects. Sildenafil lasts for approximately 4 hours. If you take the tablet just before, during, or immediately after a meal, it may take longer for the effect to kick in. However, this minimizes the risk of nausea. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage and do not experiment with different strengths on your own.Rybelsus Kopen 7mg

When can you not use Sildenafil?

You must not take multiple erection pills at the same time, such as Viagra, Spedra, or Cialis. If you are already using another type of erection pill and wish to switch, you must mention this during the consultation. This medication should not be used by women or people under the age of 18. If you are hypersensitive to sildenafil or any of the other active ingredients (see patient information leaflet via Dokteronline), it is strongly advised against taking the medication. Impaired function of organs or other body parts may affect the use of Sildenafil. Therefore, always discuss this thoroughly with your doctor during the consultation and provide the specialist with sufficient information. Sildenafil can interact with some medications, so please mention this if you are taking multiple medications.

Possible side effects

The active ingredient Sildenafil can cause side effects such as dizziness and blurred vision. Do not take any risks and do not drive. Alcohol has negative effects on penile erection, even without the use of erection pills. Therefore, ensure that you consume alcohol in small amounts or stop drinking alcohol while using erection pills. For all side effects on the body, we refer you to the Dokteronline website, where you can find a patient information leaflet with more information.
