Generic Sildenafil - same effect with less expenses

The first medication that comes to people's mind while thinking of erectile dysfunction treatment is Sildenafil of course!

Sildenafil was the first erectile dysfunction (ED) medication to appear on the market in 1998 and has concurred the market ever since. The name Sildenafil became so strong and popular, that lead various pharmaceutical companies manufacture generic medications under the names like Generic Sildenafil or Herbal Sildenafil. The question is: does this drug work same good as the original Sildenafil? And the answer is yes. Generics are much cheaper and boast to have the same effect as the brand medication. However, generic analogues of Sildenafil can not be bought at your local pharmacies. The only way to purchase them is in the Internet.

The core drug and active ingredient that makes Sildenafil work is sildenafil citrate, a very specific chemical compound that works by inhibiting the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme and allows blood to flow more freely. Sildenafil was the first of these PDE5 inhibitors to enter the market, though today there are two other leading brands - Cialis and Levitra - which have their own chemical compounds. Generic Sildenafil is basically just sildenafil citrate and sold as such without the brand name Sildenafil. The inactive ingredients in the tablets may differ from those in name brand Sildenafil, but the active ingredient - the sildenafil citrate - is identical and provides the same relief from erectile dysfunction.

In generic Sildenafil, the chemical composition is exactly the same. Since generic copies of Sildenafil are produced in countries that do not recognize patent restrictions of the Western World, the manufacturers of the brand Sildenafil engage all possible efforts to discredit generic versions. However this is just a business battle between the companies, since generic Sildenafil costs around eight times less than Sildenafil manufactured by Pfizer.

That is the explanation of the reasons why generic Sildenafil cannot be bought in pharmacies and why there are so many rumors in the Internet world about Sildenafil Citrate drugs other than Sildenafil. Despite shady operations and few problems, most of the manufacturers of generic version of Sildenafil, Pfizer are registered and regulated by the Health Authorities in countries where they are manufactured. Therefore, it is safe to purchase and administer generic Sildenafil and what also not less important do it at a much more reasonable price.

Buyers should keep in mind that the above relates specifically to generic Sildenafil containing sildenafil citrate and not to the various products sold as herbal Sildenafil. The herbal products are completely unregulated since the medical profession sees no meaningful medicinal value in them at all. This means that you never know what you are buying when dealing with herbal Sildenafil and these compounds are not generic Sildenafil and usually do not contain Sildenafil Citrate.
