5.3 Epistaxis

The downside, however, is that side effects tend to last longer too. The main difference between generic sildenafil and Viagra is marketing. The main ingredient in Viagra is sildenafil, meaning that the drugs are essentially the same. However, Viagra is marketed and prescribed strictly for erectile dysfunction, while generic sildenafil can be prescribed for PAH as well. Viagra is also known as “the little blue pill” because of its blue color, while generic sildenafil tends to be a white color.

Does sildenafil interact with foods or drinks?
