What is Viagra?
Viagra (Sildenafil) is a pill used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It helps most men with erectile dysfunction get a proper erection and maintain it during sexual intercourse. Sildenafil belongs to the pharmacotherapeutic group of phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDE-5 inhibitors).
Indications for use:
- Erectile dysfunction;
- inability to achieve or maintain an erection needed for full sexual intercourse.
This ED drug is prescribed to men only.
Active substance: Sildenafil citrate
Product form: tablets covered with a light blue field, diamond-shaped, slightly convex.
Duration: 4 – 5 hours
Viagra from Canadian Health and Care Mall is available in dosages: 25 mg, 50 mg, 75 mg, 100 mg, 130 mg, 130 mg, 150 mg, 200 mg.
The composition of the drug: cellulose, magnesium stearate, sodium croscarmellose, anhydrous calcium hydrogen phosphate, film coating.
This preparation helps many men with erectile dysfunction achieve a natural erection as a response to sexual stimulation. When a man is sexually aroused, Viagra helps to improve the blood flow to the penis, filling it with an amount of blood sufficient for an erection. After sexual intercourse, the penis returns to its normal state.
Sildenafil does not cure erectile dysfunction. The drug is meant for the symptomatic treatment of erectile dysfunction.
This medication does not protect you or your partner from sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. The drug also does not prevent pregnancy.

Generic Version of the Drug
Generic Viagra is the modern analog of the branded version and has the exact composition, production technology, effect and administration rules, but much more affordable price.
In comparison with the cost of the branded preparation, the price for a generic version is several times lower. The main goal of this drug is to restore or create normal conditions for a natural erection.
The drug can be used independently or as a general component of the course prescribed by the expert, aimed at effective treatment of impotence or erectile dysfunction.
For many years, the use of generic Viagra for men has shown excellent results with a minimum percentage of cases, when the drug turned out to be ineffective. That is why these generic pills are in demand in comparison with similar ED drugs.
Generic drug difference is in the legal field, namely in the patent and the right for
production. Generic Viagra (Sildenafil) is a complete analog of the original
preparation with an addition of some other secondary components. Until
the end of the term of the patent, no producer can manufacture drugs with the same
name. The chemical composition of the tablets and the quality of the generic
preparation is completely analogous to the brand pills but may have some differences
in flavor, color, a shape of the tablet, the packaging and labeling. See detailed Generic

Alcohol effects on the body:
- Ethyl negatively affects central nervous system;
- Ethyl affects sexual male abilities;
- Alcohol may easily accumulate in the semen, and after that will produce detrimental effects on the cells.
The most common prescription of Sildenafil-based pills is to men with sexual
dysfunction. If you have such, alcohol drinking is contraindicated. In most cases,

the action of the drug. If you take this drug, its effect will be definitely slowed
down, so you will have to wait a long time. Continue
