There are many reasons to look into dietary supplements. People just starting out on a new workout regimen may seek weight-gainers to bulk up. Dieters may require weight loss aids to trim down. The shelves of any online pharmacy or vitamin store are filled with options.

It doesn’t end at your workout though. Since sexual health is such a large part of a happy life, it is only natural that the store shelves are also abound with libido boosters and other aids for sexual performance.

Males experiencing problems with erectile dysfunction may wonder if they can find solutions here as well. Perhaps they have heard somewhere about the series of colored Viagra’s. They may already know about blue Viagra, which requires a doctor’s prescription. But then what is this Gold Viagra people are talking about? Can it really be purchased over the counter? And does Red Viagra really work?

Let’s take a quick look and see if we can answer these questions.

Viagra Blue: What Is It?

Viagra Blue generally refers to Viagra, a trademark for the well-known product manufactured by Pfizer. It has become known as ‘the little blue pill’ because of the tablet color. Viagra contains its active ingredient sildenafil citrate. Sildenafil was approved in 1998 by the FDA for use in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED).

Viagra is a prescription only drug. It is not a controlled substance and hence not scheduled. The pills come in three dosage levels: 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg. They are to be taken once a day.

Although Viagra has been shown to be safe when used as directed, there are some cautions for its use. Users should not take Viagra with alcohol or other drugs.

Viagra active ingredient: sildenafil citrate.

Inactive ingredients:

• micro crystalline cellulose;
• calcium phosphate dibasic anhydrous;
• croscarmellose sodium;
• magnesium stearate;
• hypromelloses;
• titanium dioxide;
• lactose;
• triacetin;
• FD&C Blue No.2;
• aluminum oxide.

Benefits of Red Viagra

Red Viagra is a generic preparation available without a prescription. It is manufactured in India and contains 200 mg of sildenafil citrate as its active principle. It is offered as a supplement to aid in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. This is accomplished through the action of its active ingredient, which allows the flow of blood into the penis to produce an erection.

Viagra Red is not promoted as a libido booster but as a performance enhancer. It does not create sexual desire (aphrodisiac) but allows desire to be physically expressed through allowing an erection. The dosage is listed as 50 mg, which indicates that the pill must be divided into dosage portions by the user. Once this is done the appropriate dose is to be taken one hour before sexual activity.

As previously stated, Viagra Red is not a prescription drug, but some precautions must be observed before use. As with all preparations containing sildenafil or sildenafil derivatives, users should not mix with alcohol or other illicit drugs. It should also not be taken along with nitrate based medicines, often prescribed for pain, due to potential adverse reactions.

Users should be sure their heart is strong enough for sustained sexual activity.

What is Viagra Gold?

Viagra Gold refers to a generic yellow/gold pill for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It contains 800 mg of the main active ingredient sildenafil citrate. Inactive ingredients are not listed. The pill is available without a prescription. It is manufactured in India, although no laboratory name is offered.

Viagra Gold is sold as a sexual enhancement to aid in the achievement and maintenance of an erection in those who normally experience erectile dysfunction. It is not an aphrodisiac and does not create sexual desire.

The standard starting dose is 50 mg. Since the pill is said to contain 800 mg of the active principle, the pill should be divided into the required portions. The dose is to be administered orally one hour before sexual activity.

According to the manufacturer, dosage can be increased to 100 mg depending upon individual tolerance. The normal precautions for sildenafil based preparations must be observed. The pills should not be used with alcohol or other illicit drugs. Nitrates for chest pain are not to be taken in combination with Viagra Gold.

Features of Green Viagra

Green Viagra refers to a product known as Kamagra. It is offered as an aid in alleviating erectile dysfunction, and received its nickname Green Viagra due to the green color of the tablet form of the drug. Kamagra is available without a prescription and contains the active ingredient sildenafil citrate.

Kamagra is manufactured in Mumbai, India by Ajanta Pharma. It is offered in several forms:

• pill;
• Topical Jelly (applied to skin);
• Effervescent Tablet (fizzes when dropped into beverage);
• Flavored Chewable Tablet (including blueberry).

Kamagra is touted as the most popular generic Viagra pills in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Europe.

The pill form is a green diamond shape, and comes in three dosages: 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg. The recommended starting dose is 25 mg, which can be upped depending on tolerance and needs.

The effects last for up to six hours.

What About Interactions?

All of the colored Viagra products examined contain varying amounts of sildenafil citrate as their main active ingredient. Because of this some basic pharmacological facts apply to them all.

In terms of interactions with one another, it is not advisable to take any of these preparations together. Excessive doses of the active ingredient, sildenafil citrate, can result in severe headaches, flushing of the skin, dyspepsia, abnormal vision, nasal congestion, back pain, myalgia, nausea, dizziness, and a skin rash. Any or all of these may occur to levels which require hospitalization.

Sildenafil should not be used with alcohol, marijuana, or other illicit drugs, due to the danger of adverse side effects.

The colored series of Viagra’s should not be used in conjunction with medicines known as nitrates. Nitrates are often prescribed for chest pain. Colored Viagra’s should not be used in conjunction with guanylate cyclase stimulators, prescribed for pulmonary hypertension. Use of these preparations together can cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. Do not use with HIV protease inhibitors such as ritonavir.
