All of these contain sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra. What changes is the maker, the strength range, the form and the licensing. Here’s how they line up, which strengths sit inside the approved dose, and how to choose one with your prescriber.
Side by side
Pack for pack, the active molecule is identical. The real differences are the manufacturer and its quality systems, the inactive ingredients (which only matter if you have an allergy), the delivery form, and whether a regulator in your country has reviewed the product. None of the brands below is licensed in the US, UK or Australia; the reference product Viagra is.
| Brand | Made by | Tablet strengths | Other forms | Licensed in US, UK or AU | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cenforce | Centurion Laboratories | No | Widest strength range of any brand.120, 150 and 200 mg exceed the approved maximum. | ||
| Fildena | Fortune Healthcare | No | The most form choices of any sildenafil brand.120 and 150 mg exceed the approved maximum. | ||
| Kamagra | Ajanta Pharma | No | One of the most widely counterfeited names, so check the batch number and expiry date when it arrives. | ||
| Caverta | Ranbaxy (now Sun Pharma) | Tablet only | No | Strengths match the original Viagra range exactly. | |
| Penegra | Zydus | Tablet only | No | A simple two-strength range inside approved limits. | |
| Viagra (reference) | Pfizer (now Viatris) | 25, 50, 100 mg | Tablet | Yes | The approved original. In the UK, 50 mg Viagra Connect is available from pharmacies without a prescription. |
Delivery forms
The form changes how you take the medicine, not what it is. Every form below is still sildenafil, with the same maximum dose and the same interactions.
| Form | What it is | Products | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Film-coated tablet | Swallowed whole with water | Take about an hour before sex. A heavy, fatty meal can delay it by roughly an hour. | |
| Chewable (CT) | Chewed before swallowing | Handy if you dislike swallowing tablets. | |
| Sublingual (Professional) | Dissolves under the tongue | Sold as faster-acting. No regulator has reviewed that claim. | |
| Soft-gel (Super Active) | Liquid-filled capsule | Same caveat about speed claims. | |
| Oral jelly | Flavoured gel sachet | Unlicensed in the US, UK and Australia. One sachet is a full dose; never add a tablet on top. |

ED can be an early warning of heart disease; read the timeline.
Choosing
A prescriber checks your heart health and current medicines first. Start with understanding ED.
That’s usually 50 mg. See 25 vs 50 vs 100 mg for when each is used.
Tablet, chewable or sublingual. The brand matters far less than the strength.
Check the medicine price index and our GoodRx comparison.
Match the batch and expiry, and know the signs of fake sildenafil. Our expiry date guide shows where to look.

Both contain sildenafil citrate, so at the same strength they work the same way. There is no head-to-head evidence that one brand works better. Choose on strength, form and price per tablet; see the price index.
No. Kamagra is not licensed by the MHRA, and UK authorities regularly seize unlicensed ED medicines. Licensed sildenafil, including 50 mg Viagra Connect from pharmacies, is available in the UK. See our UK page.
200 mg is twice the approved maximum dose of sildenafil. Higher doses haven’t been shown to work better and raise the risk of headache, flushing, low blood pressure and vision changes. Ask your prescriber before using any strength above 100 mg.
It usually starts working in 30 to 60 minutes and lasts around 4 hours. It only works with sexual arousal. Tadalafil lasts up to 36 hours; compare tadalafil brands.
A small amount is usually fine, but heavy drinking makes erections harder to get and adds to dizziness and low blood pressure.
Sildenafil suits planned occasions; tadalafil suits a longer window or daily use. Read Viagra vs sildenafil vs Cialis.
