Many of our customers ask themselves: what is sildenafil?
Sildenafil is one of the most well-known active ingredients in the world when it comes to treating erectile dysfunction. Yet many people do not know exactly what sildenafil is, how it works and how it differs from well-known brand names such as Viagra or Kamagra. In this blog we explain in plain language what sildenafil does, who uses it, how to use it safely and what your options are if you experience erectile dysfunction.
Whether you are looking for sildenafil without a prescription or want to know how long does sildenafil work – you will find the answers here.
What is sildenafil?
Sildenafil is a medicine that belongs to the group of PDE5 inhibitors (phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors). It causes the blood vessels to widen, which improves the blood flow to the penis. This makes it easier to get an erection during sexual arousal.
Sildenafil was originally developed as a blood pressure lowering drug, but unexpectedly turned out to be very effective in erectile dysfunction. Since then it has become the active ingredient in well-known products such as Viagra and Kamagra.
What is the difference between sildenafil and Viagra?
Viagra is the brand name of Pfizer. Sildenafil is the active ingredient in Viagra. After the patent on Viagra expired, other manufacturers were allowed to produce medicines with sildenafil. These are called 'generics'.
Examples of generic sildenafil products:
- Kamagra
- Cenforce
- Sildamax
- Cobra 120
Although the packaging and name are different, these generic products contain exactly the same active ingredient and work in the same way as Viagra.
How does sildenafil work in the body?
After ingestion, sildenafil enters the bloodstream via the stomach. It starts working within 30 to 60 minutes. The drug inhibits the enzyme PDE5, which is responsible for breaking down nitric oxide. As a result, the blood vessels remain relaxed for longer and more blood flows to the penis during sexual stimulation.
🔹Important: Sildenafil only works when sexually aroused. You will not get a spontaneous erection.
How to use sildenafil safely?
- Take sildenafil 30-60 minutes before sexual activity with water.
- Use on an empty stomach for faster action.
- Avoid alcohol for maximum effectiveness.
- Take a maximum of 1 tablet every 24 hours.
- Do not use with nitrates or certain heart medications.
Dosages range from 25mg to 200mg. Beginners usually start with 50mg or 100mg.
How long does sildenafil work?
The effect of sildenafil lasts for an average of 4 to 6 hours. During this period, you can get an erection with sexual stimulation. The erection stops automatically after orgasm or when the excitement decreases.
For longer-lasting effects, you may consider using an alternative such as tadalafil (Cialis), which works for up to 36 hours.
What are the side effects of sildenafil?
Side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. The most common are:
- Headache
- Blushing on the face or neck
- Stuffy nose
- Stomach complaints
- Slightly blurred vision (blue haze)
Serious side effects are rare. Contact a doctor if you experience palpitations, prolonged erections or chest pain.
