Question 1

Do I need a prescription for Sildenafil?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a valid prescription from your doctor is needed. The prescription needs to be written for Sildenafil 20 mg. Unfortunately, if the prescription is written for any strength of Viagra ®,  we cannot replace it with Sildenafil.

Question 2

Can Hoffman Drug call my doctor for a prescription?

Accepted Answer

Hoffman Drug is unable to call or fax a doctor's office to obtain a Sildenafil prescription.  You should call your doctor and request the medication as they may have specific questions we are unable to answer. The doctor's office may send a prescription of Sildenafil 20mg via phone, fax, mail, or electronically.

Question 3

Can I fax or email my prescription to the pharmacy?

Accepted Answer

No. Due to law restrictions, the pharmacy requires an original prescription written from your doctor. You may mail the original prescription to us, or have your doctor's office call or fax the prescription directly to Hoffman Drug.

Question 4

Is Sildenafil the same as Viagra ®

Accepted Answer

Sildenafil is the active ingredient in Viagra®. Brand name Viagra® comes in 25mg, 50mg and 100mg tablets. As of now, Sildenafil generic is only available in the 20mg tablets.   For example, 50 tablets of generic Sildenafil 20mg is equivalent to 10 tablets of Viagra® 100mg.

Question 5

Why is Sildenafil more affordable?

Accepted Answer

Sildenafil 20mg is the generic equivalent to a brand name medication called Revatio ® 20mg. Revatio ® 20mg obtained the patent for Sildenafil 20mg, however, Viagra ® obtained the patent for 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg. Sildenafil 20 mg has the exact same active ingredients as brand name Viagra ®, but just in a different strength. Revatio ® 20mg lost its brand name patent and has now become generic. This is why Sildenafil 20mg is significantly more affordable than brand name Viagra®.

Question 6

Why is Sildenafil more expensive at other pharmacies?

Accepted Answer

Pricing varies among pharmacies and are subject to change. At Hoffman Drug, we strive to offer affordable and competitive pricing for our patients.

Question 7

I do not live in Colorado. Can you mail prescriptions to me?

Accepted Answer

We are able to mail prescriptions within Colorado. If you live outside of Colorado, please contact us and talk with our pharmacist.

Question 8

Will my insurance cover Sildenafil?

Accepted Answer

Because Sildenafil 20 mg is not FDA approved for erectile dysfunction, most insurance companies will not cover it. Our team can always check to see, so be sure to bring in your insurance card.
