How does sildenafil work?

Sildenafil (generic for Viagra) may have a lower price tag, but it works exactly the same as brand-name Viagra. Formulated with sildenafil citrate, generic for Viagra is “bioequivalent,” which means that in the eyes of the FDA (and your penis), there is no difference. Sildenafil citrate is a PDE5 inhibitor - a specific type of drug that helps relax your blood vessels and increase blood flow to your penis during sexual stimulation. The great news? It works quickly when the moment is right to help enhance your sex life.
