What is Viagra Connect?
Viagra Connect is the first erectile dysfunction treatment that doesn’t require a prescription . So add to your cart today, and get Royal Mailed Tracked 24 delivery.
How does Viagra Connect work?
Viagra Connect works by relaxing your blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow into your penis, making it easier for you to get an erection.
However, you won’t get an erection just by popping a pill. Viagra Connect, like all erectile dysfunction pills, only works if you’re sexually aroused.
It’s best to take it an hour before you want to have sex, though it can start working in as little as 25 minutes.
How long does Viagra Connect last?
In terms of how long Viagra Connect lasts, it’s no different from normal Viagra or sildenafil. For most people, the drug stays in their body for around 4 hours but can remain in your system for up to 12 hours.
How effective is Viagra Connect?
The manufacturer states that since its launch in the UK, 74% of men that’ve taken Viagra Connect claimed it helped with their erection problems.
What is the difference between Viagra and Viagra Connect?
Both Viagra Connect and standard Viagra work in the same way, because they contain the same active ingredient: sildenafil. They both should be taken an hour before sexual activity, and on average remain in your system for around 4 hours.
The main difference is access and dosage. Standard Viagra comes in 25mg, 50mg and 100mg doses, and is only available via prescription.
Viagra Connect, on the other hand, is only available as a 50mg dose, and can be bought online and over the counter without a prescription.
How to take Viagra Connect
You take Viagra Connect just how you’d take standard Viagra or sildenafil:
- 1. Take one tablet, one hour before you want to have sex.
- 2. Swallow the tablet whole, with water.
- 3. Only take one Viagra Connect tablet a day.
However, you should always read the patient information leaflet before taking it.
And make sure not to take Viagra Connect with grapefruit juice – it can interact with the medication and cause more severe side effects.
