What is Viagra?

Viagra is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Its active ingredient is sildenafil citrate, which works by increasing blood flow to the penis to help achieve and maintain an erection. Viagra is typically taken about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity, and its effects can last for up to 4 hours. It requires sexual stimulation to be effective.

How does Viagra work?

Viagra helps treat erectile dysfunction by boosting blood flow to the penis. When you're sexually aroused, your brain sends signals to the penis through nerves, instructing the muscles in the penile wall to relax. This relaxation allows blood to flow in and fill the open spaces.

The blood enters more quickly than it can leave through the veins, causing the veins to compress and trap the blood in the penis, resulting in an erection.

Viagra contains sildenafil citrate, a PDE-5 inhibitor. This medication prevents the breakdown of a chemical that relaxes the smooth muscle in the penis, increasing blood flow and leading to longer-lasting erections.

Remember, sexual arousal is necessary for this treatment to work.

What is the difference between Viagra and Viagra Connect?

Viagra and Viagra Connect both contain the same active ingredient, sildenafil citrate, and work in the same way to treat erectile dysfunction. However, there are a few key differences:

Availability
a. Viagra Connect: Can be purchased over the counter without a prescription, making it more accessible for men experiencing erectile dysfunction.
b. Viagra: is a prescription only medication which can be issued after an online consultation with the clinical team at Happy Pharmacy.

Dosage Options
a. Viagra Connect: Only available in a single 50mg dosage.
b. Viagra: Available in three different strengths—25mg, 50mg, and 100mg. If you require a higher or lower dosage than 50mg, a prescription for Viagra will be necessary.

If you're unsure about which option is best for you, feel free to contact our Happy Pharmacy team for advice or consult your doctor for further guidance.

How do I take Viagra?

Take one tablet 30-60 minutes before intercourse, or up to 4 hours before sexual activity. You won't get an erection just by taking the pill; sexual stimulation is necessary for it to work. Swallow the tablet with a glass of water. Viagra can be taken with or without food, but if taken after a high-fat meal, it may take longer to start working.

Do not exceed one tablet within 24 hours. Taking more than 100mg of Sildenafil won't increase its effectiveness and may raise the risk of side effects. If the medication doesn't work, please contact your doctor.
