Sildenafil 50mg (e.g. VIAGRA CONNECT)
is the ONLY OTC medication
for erection problems (EPs) that is suitable for daily use, if
required
The recommended dose of VIAGRA CONNECT is one 50mg tablet with water, approximately
one hour before sexual activity. The maximum
recommended frequency is once per day.1
Tadalafil 10mg, the other OTC medication for EPs, is not recommended
for continuous daily use.2 Men who use these tablets
frequently
(i.e. at least twice weekly) should consult their doctor to discuss
whether a
once daily regimen with the lowest doses of tadalafil would be more
suitable.2
VIAGRA CONNECT can get to work in as little as 25 minutes
VIAGRA CONNECT can get to work in as little as 25 minutes and requires
sexual stimulation to work.1 However, several factors may
affect how
effective VIAGRA CONNECT is; it may take longer to work after a high-fat
meal and it may be less effective after excessive alcohol consumption.2
The safety and efficacy of the active
ingredient in VIAGRA
CONNECT is backed by over 25 years of clinical experience1
VIAGRA CONNECT has been available OTC in the UK for 5 years, while its
active
ingredient, sildenafil, has been used for erection problems for over 25
years.1Learn more

VIAGRA CONNECT leads to improved
erections in around 3 out of 4 men
74% of men report improved erections with VIAGRA CONNECT;1
however, some men may need several attempts at different times before
seeing an improvement. Some reasons for treatment failure include not
having adequate sexual stimulation or not waiting an adequate amount
of time between taking the medication and attempting
intercourse.2
