Viagra, undeniably, is the blockbuster drug for millions of men who suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED). Available in the little blue pill, Viagra has been the most popular drug developed by Pfizer.
The active drug of Viagra, sildenafil citrate, was first recommended for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, scientists accidentally found that the drug has been helping men to achieve harder and durable erections, probably as a side effect. Since then, Pfizer commercialized Viagra as a product for the treatment of ED.
On the other hand, Fildena, available in purple pills, is a generic competitor to Viagra. It is nothing but one of the many generic versions of Viagra, which also contains sildenafil citrate.
So, who is the manufacturer of Fildena? It’s Fortune Healthcare, a pharmaceutical company located in India. Unlike Pfizer, Fortune Healthcare is yet to establish its presence and prove the world its integrity in the erectile dysfunction drug market.
Fortune Healthcare is already an exporter to the United States, Europe, Africa, and its adjacent Asian countries but it has yet to get distinctions from the international drug regulatory bodies, such as the FDA, the MHRA, among others.
However, Fortune Healthcare is steadily gaining some momentum in the pharma industry through its generic Viagra version of medicine called Fildena, which is increasing in popularity, especially in the online ED market.
In both Fildena and Viagra, the active drug is sildenafil citrate, so their action mechanism is the same. Also, their intended use, safety and efficacy, dosage and directions, and even the side effects are the same.
Fildena is mostly found in India and some selected locations, such as Africa, Europe, and some Asian countries. However, it cannot be domestically located in the United States because of the existing patent protection for Viagra.
Fildena is mostly available online and somehow people can buy it from any part of the world after providing a prescription.
Unlike Viagra, which is quite expensive, Fildena is priced economically, meaning it is cheaper than its branded version Viagra.
Manufacturer’s credibility and worldwide presence are the salient advantages of Viagra over Fildena, though safety and efficacy are the same. On the contrary, the striking difference between Fildena and Viagra is the affordable pricing.
If you want to prefer reliability rather than affordability, it is logical to choose Viagra when it comes to treating erectile dysfunction. However, if you want to try something new and look to save money, Fildena is probably a better choice. In any case, Fildena and Viagra are similar because of their same active ingredients, so both are actually recommended unless you take either of them under the supervision of your doctor.
