Viagra Connect® 50 mg Orodispersible Films


New Format Viagra Connect®

A new innovative orodispersible film format for men aged 18 years and older with erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. In order for Viagra Connect® to be effective, sexual stimulation is required.1

Melts on your tongue1:

For convenient use. Can be taken with or without water. With a dry finger place an orodispersible film on your tongue, let it disintegrate, and it can start to work in as little as 25 minutes1.

Discreet and convenient

Comes in a convenient foil wrapper that is easy to carry in your pocket or wallet.

Fresh mint taste1:

Viagra Connect® 50 mg orodispersible films have been specially designed with a fresh mint taste1 for fresh mint breath for those intimate moments.

Technological advancement2:

Each Viagra Connect 50 mg orodispersible film is a very thin film, about as thin as a strand of hair. The advanced technology allows the film to quickly disintegrate on your tongue, allowing the saliva containing the active ingredient to be easily swallowed2.

Proven to Work1

From the makers of the tried and trusted Viagra Connect® brand, Viagra Connect 50 mg orodispersible films contain sildenafil and are available without prescription from your local pharmacy. The films are a non-tablet format that can be taken with or without water. For your busy lifestyle, the foil wrapper offers discreet ease of use.

How to take Viagra Connect® orodispersible films:

  • With a dry finger, place one film on your tongue and allow it to disintegrate. Can be taken with or without water. During disintegration saliva may be swallowed, but without swallowing the film. It should be taken immediately upon removal from the pouch, which should be carefully peeled open (not cut open).
  • Take approximately 1 hour before sexual activity
  • Effects can last for up to 4 hours
  • Do not take more than one film in 24 hours

How quickly do Viagra Connect® orodispersible films work:

  • Quick Absorption: Starts to work in as little as 25 minutes
  • Typical response: Most men notice effects within 30 – 60 minutes
  • Food Impact: Heavy or high-fat meals can slow absorption and delay results
  • Need Advice: If no success after several times taking the product, speak to your GP.
