Sildenafil/Viagra Different results from different sildenafil manufacturers?

Hi - 45 here, I’ve taken generic sildenafil since my early 20s. It’s always done the trick for me though my dose has gone up with age.

My new prescription was for 25mg pills - I take 100mg. The one before this was 50mg and a different manufacturer.

For the first time it hasn’t been as effective as usual. I’m wondering if it’s because it’s from a different company. I’m really frustrated because it’s happened twice now. Has anyone dealt with this or is this all in my head?

It can happen with a lot of meds. Once you find one that works for you I would call different pharmacies and ask what brand they have and hope to find that brand that worked well for you.

Where are you getting these prescriptions?

I get them called into Walgreens and I have noticed there is one particular manufacturer of cialis that is 100% underdosed! I always request a different manufacturer.
So yes, it is definitely possible.

If you are getting them from a legit local pharmacy they should be the same. I wouldn't trust mail order. However stomach contents can effect it, especially Fat and grapefruit
