For men who have
erectile dysfunction (
ED), a healthcare provider may prescribe Viagra
® (
sildenafil citrate). This condition is characterized by a repeated inability to maintain an erection that is firm enough for sexual intercourse.
This medication is not available in generic form at this time. Some people may look for ways to get cheaper prescription drugs, and may wonder about buying so-called "generic Viagra" from India and other places. However, these medications may be fake, substandard, and potentially dangerous.
To ensure a safe, effective treatment process, it is best to use brand-name Viagra exactly as your healthcare provider recommends. A generic version may be available in a few years, once the first patent for Viagra expires and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves it.
