Viagra is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor, which works by relaxing muscles found in the walls of blood vessels to increase blood flow.
Viagra is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and impotence in men. Viagra is available only by prescription. It is available in a generic formulation as well as under different brand names, including sildenafil.
Viagra may be prescribed as a tablet. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage prescribed.
If you are prescribed Viagra, be sure to complete the full course of the ED medication unless your doctor specifically tells you to stop. If you don’t complete your prescription, the ED medication may not fully treat your erectile dysfunction.
There are several FDA-approved uses for Viagra, but your healthcare provider may also prescribe it off-label to treat other medical conditions. Your PlushCare doctor may prescribe Viagra for any of the following reasons, or other reasons not listed here. If you have questions about why a medication is prescribed, ask your online doctor or pharmacist.
Viagra is FDA-approved to treat erectile dysfunction and impotence in men.
Another brand of sildenafil, Revatio, is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure) and improve exercise capacity in men and women. This page contains specific information for Viagra, not Revatio.
The side effects associated with taking Viagra are typically mild. Most Viagra side effects are associated with dizziness and flushing. Viagra has some common side effects. They may include:
Other side effects, which are less common but might be more severe, could include:
Chest pain, nausea, and sweating
Vision changes or sudden vision loss
Erection that lasts longer than four hours
You should call your healthcare professional if you notice any of these side effects, or if you develop any other new or concerning symptoms. The use of Viagra in children under age 18 is not recommended.
Your pharmacist will provide you with instructions on how to take your Viagra prescription. Be sure to read your prescription label and follow the instructions. Call your doctor or pharmacy if you have any questions.
Viagra can come in different doses, so be sure to follow the specific instructions on your prescription. Viagra is typically taken when needed, 30 minutes to one hour before sexual activity. You may take it up to four hours before sexual activity. Do not take Viagra more than once per day.
Viagra has 312 drug interactions. Don’t change what you are taking without checking with your doctor or pharmacist. That includes other medications or supplements, as well as over-the-counter medicines.
Possible drug interactions with Viagra include:
Do not take Viagra with nitrate medicine. When taken together, these medications can cause a sudden and serious decrease in blood pressure.
Viagra may cause low blood pressure, and drinking alcohol may increase this effect. Talk to your healthcare provider before drinking alcohol. Drinking grapefruit juice with Viagra may lead to unwanted side effects.
If your healthcare provider prefers to put you on another treatment altogether, they may suggest other ED medications in another drug class. Here are some common doctor-recommended alternatives based on your health issue:
Depending on your pharmacy, Viagra costs around $166 for two 100 mg tablets without insurance. Fortunately, generic brands, such as generic sildenafil, offer an affordable alternative.
To refill your Viagra prescription, book a virtual appointment with a board-certified PlushCare doctor. After reviewing your symptoms and medical history, your doctor can send an electronic prescription to your local pharmacy.
Viagra typically starts working within 30 minutes, although some people have reported that it works in as little as 12 minutes. Viagra may cause side effects, such as headache, runny nose, or a nosebleed.
Viagra can help you get and keep an erection. It may help you last longer in bed if you find it difficult to stay erect during sexual stimulation.
Avoid taking Viagra if you have certain medical conditions, such as:
Heart disease or heart rhythm problems
A history of heart attack, stroke, or congestive heart failure
High or low blood pressure
Blood cell disorders, such as sickle cell anemia
Stomach ulcer
Retinitis pigmentosa (an inherited eye condition)
Tell your doctor if you’ve been advised not to have sexual intercourse for health reasons. You should also tell your doctor if you’re taking nitrates or medication to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Because Viagra is taken as needed, you’re unlikely to miss a dose.
If you’ve taken too much Viagra, seek emergency medical attention or call your local poison control center.
