Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

Our network consists of board-certified physicians licensed to practice telemedicine in all 50 states. Each doctor has extensive experience in men's health and ED treatment. They review every consultation carefully to ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you.

Question 4

What is Viagra and what does sildenafil do?

Accepted Answer

Viagra is a brand-name ED medication containing sildenafil citrate — also known as the little blue pill. What does sildenafil do? It works by blocking the PDE5 enzyme, allowing blood vessels to relax and increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal. Generic Viagra (sildenafil) is the same active ingredient at a fraction of the cost.

Question 5

What is tadalafil and what is Cialis?

Accepted Answer

What is tadalafil? Tadalafil is the active ingredient in Cialis and works similarly to sildenafil by blocking PDE5 enzymes. What is Cialis? It's the brand-name version of tadalafil. The key difference is duration — tadalafil lasts up to 36 hours vs 4-6 hours for sildenafil. Tadalafil is often called 'the weekend pill' and is a popular Cialis alternative.

Question 6

Is tadalafil safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, tadalafil is FDA-approved and safe for most men when taken as directed. Like sildenafil, tadalafil should NOT be taken with nitrates or certain blood pressure medications. Our licensed physicians review your medical history to ensure tadalafil is safe for you. Common side effects are similar to sildenafil and include headache, back pain, and indigestion.

Question 7

What is the recommended tadalafil dosing?

Accepted Answer

Standard tadalafil dosing is 10mg or 20mg taken as needed, 30-60 minutes before sexual activity. Tadalafil dosing for daily use is typically 2.5mg or 5mg once daily. Our physicians will recommend the appropriate tadalafil dosing based on your needs. Unlike sildenafil, tadalafil can be taken with or without food without affecting its effectiveness.

Question 8

What is the little blue pill?

Accepted Answer

The little blue pill is a nickname for the generic sildenafil tablet, which is the active ingredient in Viagra. It's called 'little blue' because brand-name Viagra pills are blue and diamond-shaped. The term is often used interchangeably with 'Viagra' or 'sildenafil' to refer to the generic medication.

Question 9

What color is Viagra pill?

Accepted Answer

Brand-name Viagra pills are blue and diamond-shaped — that's why it's often called 'the little blue pill.' However, generic sildenafil tablets come in various colors (usually white, off-white, or light blue) depending on the manufacturer. The color doesn't affect how the medication works.

Question 10

What's the difference between Sildenafil and Tadalafil (Cialis vs Viagra)?

Accepted Answer

Cialis vs Viagra is a common comparison. Sildenafil (generic Viagra) works for 4-6 hours and is best taken 30-60 minutes before activity. Tadalafil (generic Cialis) lasts up to 36 hours and can be taken 30 minutes before activity, offering more spontaneity. Both are equally effective — it's a matter of personal preference.

Question 11

Are generic medications as effective as brand-name?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Generic medications contain the exact same active ingredients at the same dosages as their brand-name counterparts. The FDA requires generics to be bioequivalent, meaning they work the same way in your body. The only differences are inactive ingredients and appearance - not effectiveness.

Question 12

What dosage should I take?

Accepted Answer

Our physicians will recommend an appropriate starting dosage based on your medical history. Most men start with 50mg of Sildenafil or 10mg of Tadalafil. Your doctor may adjust the dosage based on your response and any side effects.

Question 13

What are the side effects?

Accepted Answer

Common side effects include headache, flushing, indigestion, and nasal congestion. These are usually mild and temporary. Serious side effects are rare but can include vision changes or prolonged erections. Contact a doctor immediately if you experience any concerning symptoms.

Question 14

Can I take ED medication with other medications?

Accepted Answer

ED medications should NOT be taken with nitrates (often prescribed for chest pain) or certain blood pressure medications. This is why our consultation asks about your current medications - our doctors carefully review for potential interactions to ensure your safety.

Question 15

How long does delivery take?

Accepted Answer

Once your consultation is approved and your order is processed, most shipments arrive within 3-5 business days via USPS or UPS. You'll receive tracking information so you can monitor your delivery. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout.

Question 16

Will the package be discreet?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All packages arrive in plain, unmarked boxes with no reference to the contents or our company name. The return address is generic and doesn't indicate a pharmacy or medical service. Your privacy is our priority.

Question 17

Do you ship internationally?

Accepted Answer

Currently, we only ship within the United States and its territories. International shipping of prescription medications is subject to complex regulations that we don't currently support.

Question 18

Is my information secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use 256-bit SSL encryption (the same level used by banks) to protect your data. All medical information is stored on HIPAA-compliant servers. We never sell or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Question 19

Will this appear on my credit card statement?

Accepted Answer

The charge will appear with a discreet descriptor that doesn't reference ED medications or explicitly state our company name. Your privacy extends to your financial statements as well.

Question 20

Why are your prices so much lower?

Accepted Answer

We eliminate traditional pharmacy markups by operating online. We also offer generic medications instead of expensive brand names. The generics contain the same active ingredients and work identically, but cost a fraction of the price. Our direct-to-consumer model means savings for you.

Question 21

Are there any hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

No. The price you see is the price you pay. Shipping is free, and there are no consultation fees or recurring subscriptions (unless you choose our optional subscription service for additional savings). Complete transparency is part of our commitment to you.

Question 22

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

If your consultation is not approved by our medical team, you won't be charged. For approved orders, prescription medications cannot be returned due to FDA regulations. However, if there's an issue with your order (damaged product, shipping error, etc.), contact us within 30 days and we'll make it right.

Question 23

Can I use insurance?

Accepted Answer

We don't accept insurance, but our prices are often lower than most insurance co-pays. You may be able to submit a claim to your insurance for reimbursement - we can provide an itemized receipt for this purpose.
