What is Viagra Connect?
Viagra Connect is an over-the-counter medication used as an erectile dysfunction treatment. It is one of the more popular ED treatments available, as you do not require a prescription to buy it. Viagra Connect contains the active ingredient sildenafil and is no different to the more commonly known Viagra. The Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency reclassified Viagra Connect from a “Prescription Only Medication”, to a “Pharmacy” medication in 2017. This decision was made to increase awareness of ED, and to encourage men to seek help. The high costs and barriers associated with obtaining a prescription for erectile dysfunction medication has resulted in many men purchasing counterfeit medication online. Increasing accessibility will reduce the number men looking to purchase non-regulated alternatives.
How does Viagra Connect work?
Viagra Connect works by allowing the blood vessels in the penis to relax, so that blood can enter upon sexual stimulation. This allows men to maintain a firm erection when they are sexually excited. It will not help you to last longer or increase sexual desire. If you do not have ED, Viagra Connect is unlikely to benefit you.

How long does Viagra Connect last?
The effects of Viagra Connect can last for up to 4 hours. This does not mean that you will have an erection lasting 4 hours, but you will be able to achieve and maintain an erection when sexually aroused within this timeframe. Factors that can affect the time frame for which Viagra is active can include body weight, state of mind and how recently a meal was consumed before taking a tablet.
