Viagra oral strips are a new formulation of ED treatment that allows for absorption of the active ingredient in Viagra (sildenafil), to be done through sildenafil orodispersible films, which is a medical way of saying dissolvable Viagra strips that you take orally.
It’s used the same way that Viagra tablets are used, in that it’s a form of treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED), so that patients with a penis can get and maintain an erection long enough to take part in sexual activities.

Viagra (sildenafil) oral strips work by helping to relax the blood vessels within the penis, when it’s sexually stimulated.
In turn, this lets blood flow into your penis, which encourages improved erectile function.
What is Viagra® Oral Strips used to treat?
Viagra oral strips (sildenafil orodispersible films) are used as an ongoing treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED), in patients that are having difficulty with getting an erection and/or maintaining that erection long enough to enjoy sexual activities.
It’s good to note here that Viagra oral strips are used for the same function as other forms of Viagra (i.e., tablets, etc.).
There are a few easy-to-follow steps that you can use to safely take sildenafil oral strips:
- Always take your prescription in the way that’s instructed by your healthcare practitioner.
- Take your medication 30-60 minutes before sexual activities for the best effect. If you need to, you can take your Viagra medication up to 4 hours before sexual activities.
- Take your medication with or without food, but remember that Viagra may take longer to start working with meals that include higher fat contents.
There are also some simple instructions you can follow to use 50 mg sildenafil oral strips:
- Place the film on your tongue with a dry finger. Wet fingers may cause the strip to start to dissolve on your finger.
- Allow the strip to fully dissolve on your tongue before swallowing it. You can take it with or without water.
- In some cases, if your dosage is 100 mg, you may need to take a second film per dose. Wait until the first film is fully dissolved, before taking the second one.
REMEMBER: Never take a higher dosage than you’re prescribed, or take your Viagra oral strips more than once per day. This can result in additional or more severe, even dangerous side effects.

Do Viagra Oral Strips last as long as Viagra pills?
Yes, regardless of the form of Viagra that you’re using (i.e., pills, PrViagra ODF, etc.), the effects will be essentially the same.
They should both be taken 30-60 minutes before beginning sexual activity, although they can be taken as long as 4 hours beforehand. Neither form of dosage should be taken more than once in a 24-hour period.
It is important to remember that Viagra may affect people differently, so communication with your practitioner after starting us is the best way to find a consistent dosage and dosing schedule that works best for you.
What are the benefits of a dissolvable ED medication?
Some patients have a hard time swallowing pills, and this happens for a wide variety of reasons.
Regardless of why, PrViagra ODF oral strips give patients the freedom to discretely take their treatment, without having to worry about taking pills and still enjoying the medication’s effects.
Can I use Viagra (sildenafil) Oral Strips with other erectile dysfunction medication?
Other Viagra medications could interact with PrViagra ODF oral strips, so it’s important not to take any other erectile dysfunction treatments at the same time as PrViagra ODF without first consulting your practitioner.
They’ll be able to determine whether there are other products that you may be able to use safely in tandem with PrViagra ODF, or adjust your Viagra Oral Strip dosage to improve its effect and provide you with the desired results.
How soon after taking Viagra strips can you feel the effects?
You should be able to begin noticing the effects of your PrViagra ODF oral strips between 30-60 minutes after you take your recommended dose.
You can take your PrViagra ODF up to 4 hours ahead of time, but don’t forget, Viagra medications only work with stimulation. This means, you won’t notice any potential impacts of taking your PrViagra ODF until you begin sexual activity.
How to store viagra strips
PrViagra ODF oral strips should be stored within their original packaging until use. The package should be stored in an area that’s kept between 15-30°C.
REMEMBER: Never take expired Viagra pills or PrViagra ODF oral strips, and always keep these kinds of medications out of reach/sight of children.
