How To Get Viagra

There are multiple reasons to start treating erectile dysfunction with Viagra. Read on to learn what Viagra is, how the popular blue pills work and how to get it. 

What Viagra does

Viagra is an oral medication to treat erectile dysfunction. It’s a type of drug known as a PDE5 inhibitor, which helps smooth muscles at the base of your penis to relax. This widens the blood vessels, increasing blood flow making it easier to get and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation (1). You need to take just one Viagra pill one hour before sexual activity and it takes around 30-60 minutes to work. You can read our comprehensive guide to Viagra here.

How effective is it? 

Sildenafil (the active ingredient in both branded and generic Viagra) is a highly effective treatment that’s safe and well-tolerated by men with erectile dysfunction. Clinical studies have shown that Sildenafil can significantly improve the quality of life for patients with erectile dysfunction – as well as their sexual partners (2). 

How much does Viagra cost?

There is a huge variation between sildenafil prices depending on whether you choose branded Viagra or its generic version. At ZipHealth, the generic version of Viagra is available from only $3.75 a tablet for a 25mg dose while branded Viagra starts at $75 per tablet. You can compare pricing for each type of erectile dysfunction medication at your preferred sildenafil dose here.
