  1. I have often bought the sidegra from charoen pharmacy as well at govt. price of 180 baht x 100mg pill.  However, in responding to how effective they are, I will throw in my 2 cents.  First of all, I am older, need the pills because of other drug interactions, circulatory issues, etc.--I am not in my 20's, 30's, 40's , etc. and using the pills simply so I can go 5 times a day.  Second, I have had a prescription in USA for many years for real Pfizer viagra, and it works great.  However, thanks to Obamacare and other govt. BS, my insurance no longer copays for Viagra or Cialis or Levitra or Stendra since it refers to them as lifestye drugs.  The price for any of these is skyhigh.  I agree with former post saying the Sidegra has same ingredients, but my body does not react the same or as well to the sidegra, i.e., it doesn't work as well at the same "dosage" level.  I believe the active ingredient is there, but not in the dosage strength that the 100 mg pack indicates, but rather less. 

     

    I did a little test, I still had a few real Pfizer viagra, and even though they were over a year old (i.e., out of potency), they produced much better results than Sidegra fresh from the pharmacy at the same dosage that I tried on a subsequent day.  The other thing I noticed was that Sidegra did not produce the same side effects as the viagra pill:  no heartburn (I always got heartburn from Viagra), no flushing (after all, sidenafil is a vasodilator), no occasional vision affects.  I understand that the side affects could have been caused by inactive ingredients as well.  So between the perceived lack of effectiveness and the lack of side affects, my conclusion is that the active ingredients may be the same, but the dosage in the Sidegra is less than advertised.  I would not be the first time that Thai/Indian drug producers have skimped on the dosage to produce a cheaper generic as this happens outside the ED drug arena as well. 

     

    I am curious if any other people have had similar experiences--and, really, don't need "it works great" from a lot of the younger guys, since you guys get a woody staring at whatever.  But, how about some you other guys, interacting with high blood pressure medicine, arterioscelorisi, diabetic, overweight, whatever...how are they working for you in comparison with real viagra?

     

    On an aside, does anybody know how to get a drug tested for dosage accuracy, either in Thailand or elsewhere?  Any labs or services do this without costing a fortune?

     

    Finally, does anyone know where I can get Levitra or generic (vardenafil) or Stendra (avanafil) in Thailand? 

     

     

    In my personal tests between the Thai governement Sidegra (100 mg) and the Indian Kamagra (100 mg), I have less side effects with Sidegra, but until you mentioned it, I hadn't thought about perhaps it was because of less potency than even the Indian version Kamagra.  I thought the Kamagra may have other active ingredients that may have caused the side effects, but you may be correct that perhaps the Thai government Sidegra has less of the primary active ingredient.

     

    Interesting...

  2. Sounds like a case of the "Post-Thailand Blues..." :) and talking to the TGF revitalized some thoughts and memories....

     

    If you get that morning wood, then it usually means nothing physical.  The usual side affects of Viagra would only occur during the next 1-8 hours of the day you took them.

     

    Enjoy planning your next trip :).
