Viagra Connect is an over-the-counter (OTC) medication that is used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Viagra Connect contains the same active ingredient as Viagra: Sildenafil. Viagra Connect is only available in packs of 4, 50mg tablets.
Erectile dysfunction is a common condition that many men experience. This condition describes the inability to get an erection when sexually stimulated or the inability to maintain an erection throughout the duration of sexual intercourse. In most cases, ED is caused by insufficient blood reaching and staying in the penis.
When taking any medication, even OTC, it is important to take it exactly as instructed by your pharmacist.
