Specializes in Pediatrics

Same: Viagra and Sildenafil are the same medication. The first is the brand name, the second is the generic. They should both work the same. Talk to a Dr about complications and contraindications before starting use. HealthTap does not prescribe ED meds on its Video Consult platform.
