Is Fildena Different From Viagra?

How is Fildena different from Viagra different from Cialisis? They all have Sildenafil Citrate as the acting ingredient but come in completely different doses. Also why do doctors say you need a prescription for any ED pills but you can just go on there websites and order them? Thanks

Hi,

Fildena, Viagra, and Cialis are all medications used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). The active ingredient in all three medications is sildenafil citrate, although Cialis uses a different active ingredient, tadalafil.

The main difference between Fildena and Viagra is that Fildena is a generic version of Viagra, while Viagra is the brand name medication produced by Pfizer. The generic version is usually less expensive than the brand-name version.

Cialis, on the other hand, is a different type of ED medication. It contains tadalafil as its active ingredient, which has a longer duration of action than sildenafil citrate. Cialis is sometimes called the "weekend pill" because it can remain effective for up to 36 hours after taking it.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,

Fildena and Viagra are both brand names for sildenafil citrate, which is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Cialis, on the other hand, contains a different active ingredient called tadalafil. While sildenafil citrate is the active ingredient in both Fildena and Viagra, they may be formulated differently or have different dosages, and they may be marketed under different brand names depending on the manufacturer or country of origin.

However, both medications work by increasing blood flow to the penis to help achieve and maintain an erection. Cialis, on the other hand, works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the penis. It has a longer duration of action compared to sildenafil and may be preferred by some patients for this reason. It's important to note that all of these medications should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional, as they can have potential side effects and may interact with other medications or medical conditions.

This is why doctors typically require a prescription before prescribing ED medications to their patients. While it's possible to order ED medications online without a prescription, this can be risky and potentially dangerous. There is no way to ensure the safety or quality of these medications, and they may be counterfeit, expired, or contaminated. Additionally, ordering medications without a prescription can put you at risk of serious side effects or interactions if you have other medical conditions or are taking other medications.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
