Overview

What is Viagra Connect?

Viagra Connect is the over-the-counter (OTC) branded version of sildenafil, used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It helps men who find it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction is common—affecting over half of men aged 40 to 70—and Viagra Connect offers a convenient, reliable option available without a prescription in pharmacies.

At SwiftMedi, we also offer generic sildenafil tablets, which contain the same active ingredient as Viagra Connect and provide an equally effective but more affordable alternative. Both options are provided following a medical assessment to ensure safety and suitability.

 

How Does Viagra Connect Work?

During sexual arousal, the brain releases chemicals that relax the muscles in the penis, allowing blood vessels to widen and fill with blood, causing an erection. In men with ED, the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) breaks down a key chemical called cGMP too quickly, preventing sufficient blood flow.

Viagra Connect works by blocking PDE5, enabling cGMP to accumulate and promoting increased blood flow to the penis. This allows an erection to occur and be maintained during sexual arousal. It requires sexual stimulation to be effective and does not cause an erection without it.

Directions

How to Take Viagra Connect


Viagra Connect tablets should be taken orally about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. The medication can be taken with or without water and is most effective on an empty stomach. Its effects typically last up to four hours, providing a flexible time frame for intimacy.

Tips for use:

  • Avoid heavy or fatty meals before taking to ensure quick onset
  • Swallow tablets whole with water
  • Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours

 

Dosage Options


Viagra Connect is available in a 50mg dose. Your doctor or pharmacist will advise if a different dose is appropriate.

Side Effects

Possible Side Effects


Common side effects may include:

  • Dizziness
  • Indigestion
  • Headaches
  • Flushing
  • Nasal congestion
  • Visual disturbances (rare)


Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking sildenafil, as these can interfere with how the medication is processed, increasing side effects or reducing effectiveness.

Viagra Connect is not suitable for everyone. Do not take it if you:

  • Have known allergies to sildenafil or any ingredients in Viagra Connect
