Are they the same?

Mechanisms compared
Because they share the same active ingredient, the mechanism is identical: Sildenafilcitrat hemmt die PDE5, wodurch sich cGMP in der glatten Gefäßmuskulatur anreichern und die lokale Durchblutung während der sexuellen Erregung steigern kann.
Brand or generic — which to choose?
For most patients, authorised generics of Sildenafil Citrate are clinically equivalent substitutes for Femalegra and typically cost substantially less. The practical differences are manufacturer, excipients (rarely matters except in specific sensitivities), tablet appearance and price. The brand is preferred by some patients for personal reasons or insurance coverage; the generic is the default when cost matters.
