Fildena, available in the little purple pills, is a generic version of Viagra, the famous blue pill prescribed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED).
ED is an inability of a man to achieve and sustain an erection hard and durable enough for sexual activity.
Like Viagra, Fildena contains sildenafil citrate as an active ingredient, suggesting that Fildena and Viagra share the same active drug. However, Fildena is manufactured in India. A company called Fortune Healthcare develops these little purple pills.
The efficacy and functionality of Fildena 100mg tablets are most prescribe in India, according to The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB).
So, is Fildena FDA approved? Is it available in the United States?
As such, Fildena is not an FDA approved medication; however, its active ingredient is. The agency approved sildenafil citrate in 1998 for the treatment of ED. Pfizer got the drug approval and it has been selling sildenafil citrate under the brand name Viagra since 1998.
On the other hand, Fildena is one of many generic versions of Viagra, which has not been approved for sale or use in the United States. However, it has been sold and used in other nations.
Sildenafil citrate belongs to the class of drugs called PDE-5 inhibitors. Simply put, the drug increases blood circulation throughout the body, including the penile organ so men can achieve and sustain an erection through sexual intercourse.
ASCB says erectile dysfunction drugs accepted by the combined stat of all Americans FDA should be taken in mature men only.
Most online pharmacies are selling Fildena pills at a much cheaper price than Viagra. It is 80 to 85% cheaper than the small blue pill.
Most men rely on generic versions of Viagra to treat their ED issues. In fact, since the Viagra patent has expired, more and more men have been relying on generic sildenafil drugs, including Fildena. So, the takeaway is although Fildena contains sildenafil citrate as an active ingredient, it is not approved by the FDA. Legally, one cannot sell or use Fildena pills in the United States.
