The generic trial pack contains 30 tablets of three erectile dysfunction medicines: 10 of sildenafil 100 mg («generic Viagra»), 10 of tadalafil 20 mg («generic Cialis») and 10 of vardenafil 20 mg («generic Levitra»). Each is the highest licensed dose, and the shop doesn't say who makes them.
This page explains what that means for you, how the three differ and how to try them safely: with your doctor, one after another, and never two on the same day. In Spain, prescription-only medicines may not be sold online, and customs can hold a parcel that contains them. We do not check prescriptions: talk to your doctor before you order.

Why «generic Viagra» isn't a real product name
No generic in Spain is allowed to call itself Viagra, Cialis or Levitra; those brands belong to the companies that make them. A legal generic is sold under the active ingredient plus the manufacturer's name, or its own brand, and is marked EFG (equivalente farmacéutico genérico). The AEMPS only approves it once it has shown your body absorbs it the same way as the original. That's why, with a pharmacy generic, you can look the name up on CIMA and read its product information and leaflet.
«Viagra Generic», «Cialis Generic» and «Levitra Generic» are this shop's labels. Without the maker's name and batch number, nobody can look anything up. Ask for both before ordering if you want to know what you'll receive.
Thirty tablets, all top strength
Ten of each, all at the highest licensed dose, is a mix designed to offer variety, not to start treatment. For all three medicines, the product information suggests starting at half those doses and only going up if needed and well tolerated.
If your doctor wants you on a lower dose, don't split the tablets without asking: we don't know whether they're scored or whether the maker allows it. Sildenafil 25 and 50 mg, and tadalafil and vardenafil 5 and 10 mg, are available from pharmacies as whole tablets.
Trying all three without mixing them
If you want to find out which one suits you, there's a sensible way to go about it:
- Ask your doctor first whether any of them is safe for you, which to start with and at what dose.
- Stick to one active ingredient on several occasions before moving on.
- Leave at least a full day after sildenafil or vardenafil, and about two days after tadalafil, which can work for 36 hours.
- Never take two on the same day, even if the first didn't work.
True or false?
Mark each of these six statements true or false and see what the product information actually says.
1. If the first doesn't work, I can take a different one the same day.
2. The tablets in the pack are the normal starting dose.
3. A very fatty meal delays sildenafil and vardenafil, but not tadalafil.
4. One try is enough to know whether a medicine works for me.
5. If a generic is sold online, it must be authorised in Spain.
6. With nitrates or poppers, none of the three is safe.
How the three differ
Sildenafil (generic Viagra): taken about an hour before, lasts a few hours and is slower after a fatty meal. It can briefly tint your vision blue.
Tadalafil (generic Cialis): from 30 minutes before, with a window of up to 36 hours, and food makes no difference. Back and muscle aches are more common.
Vardenafil (generic Levitra): 25 to 60 minutes before, lasting about as long as sildenafil; a very fatty meal delays it. It should be avoided if you have a long QT interval.
Spanish pharmacies stock authorised generics of all three, in every strength, on prescription.
Who shouldn't take any of them
- Anyone using nitrates, poppers or riociguat.
- Anyone with a heart condition that makes sex inadvisable, or who has recently had a heart attack or stroke.
- Anyone whose blood pressure is below 90/50.
- Anyone who has lost sight in one eye from ischaemic optic neuropathy.
Check with a doctor first if you take HIV medicines, antifungals such as ketoconazole, antibiotics such as clarithromycin, or alpha-blockers: they all change blood levels or add to blood-pressure drops.

Prescriptions and delivery
All three need a prescription in Spain. Your médico de familia (with a tarjeta sanitaria), a urologist or a private doctor can write one, and you'll pay the full price because they aren't funded. EU prescriptions are accepted in Spanish pharmacies if complete; UK ones aren't. We have no shop or pickup point; orders are posted or sent by courier under our delivery conditions. The brand-name version is our original trial pack.
Common questions
Can I buy an ED trial pack without a prescription in Spain?
No. Sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil are prescription-only, and only a pharmacy can dispense them.
Are these generics legal in Spain?
Only if they're authorised by the AEMPS or the European Commission, and that can't be checked without the manufacturer's name. Generics made outside the EU without authorisation aren't legal here.
Which one should I try first?
Your doctor will decide, based on your health and habits. Tadalafil's long window sometimes suits men who prefer spontaneity; for occasional, planned sex, sildenafil or vardenafil does the job.
How long should I wait before switching?
At least a day after sildenafil or vardenafil, and around two days after tadalafil.
Can I split the tablets to take less?
Without knowing the manufacturer, there's no way to be sure the tablet is meant to be split. If you need a lower dose, pharmacies have it.
Do generics work as well as the brands?
Those authorised in Spain do: they've been shown to be absorbed the same way. The same can't be said for a generic with no known maker.
