Fildena is also available as a generic drug. Generic drugs usually cost less than the brand-name version. In some cases, they may not be available in every strength or form as the brand-name drug. Fildena may be used as needed or once daily. If you think you need Fildena, speak to your doctor first about whether it's the right option for you. They can help you decide if it's the best course of action for your particular case of ED.
