Viagra Professional is a 100 mg sildenafil tablet made in India and sold as sublingual. It isn’t produced by the owner of the Viagra brand and isn’t authorised in Spain, and 100 mg is the highest dose of sildenafil.
Below the price table we explain what «Professional» means, whether sublingual really works faster, and which authorised sildenafil a doctor in Spain can prescribe instead. 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.
First things first. Viagra Professional isn’t made by the company that owns the Viagra brand, and it isn’t authorised in Spain. It’s 100 mg sildenafil made in India, and 100 mg is the highest dose in the sildenafil product information, not the starting dose. Like any sildenafil, it must never be taken with nitrates or poppers. 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.
| What it is | A 100 mg sildenafil tablet marketed as sublingual or fast-dissolving. |
|---|---|
| Active ingredient | Sildenafil, the same as in Viagra and its generics. |
| The brand name | Viagra is the registered brand of the original sildenafil, licensed to Upjohn EESV (part of Viatris). The brand owner doesn’t sell anything called «Viagra Professional»; the name is used by sellers of Indian generics. |
| Authorised in Spain? | No. It isn’t listed in CIMA, the Spanish medicines register, and has no Spanish product information or patient leaflet. |
| Prescription | All authorised sildenafil in Spain is prescription-only. This product can’t be dispensed by a Spanish pharmacy, with or without a prescription. |
| Dose | 100 mg, the maximum for sildenafil. The usual start is 50 mg, and some men need 25 mg. |
| In this shop | «Viagra Professional» 100 mg, packs of 10 to 360 tablets. No lower strength, and the manufacturer isn’t stated. |
What the name means
«Professional» isn’t a medical term or a special strength. It’s a marketing label that several Indian manufacturers put on sildenafil tablets they describe as dissolving under the tongue or in the mouth. That’s why you’ll find the same product online under different names and from different makers. This page doesn’t say which one it is; ask us for the manufacturer and batch number before ordering if you want to know.
The word «Viagra» on the box doesn’t link it to the Viagra company either. In the EU a medicine can only be sold under the name it was authorised with, and this one hasn’t been authorised under any name.
Does sublingual mean faster?
That’s the main selling point, and there’s no evidence for it. With no product information, nobody can say reliably how much sildenafil reaches your bloodstream, or when. Here’s what is known about the authorised forms:
- The orodispersible sildenafil authorised in Spain (Vizarsin 50 and 100 mg) peaks 30 to 120 minutes after a dose, exactly like the standard tablet. Its product information presents it as an option for men who find tablets hard to swallow, not as a quicker one.
- Orodispersible vardenafil reaches its peak at the same time as the standard tablet, or up to 45 minutes later.
- Ordinary sildenafil is already fairly quick: in one study of men who hadn’t eaten, a usable erection took a median of 25 minutes.
If swallowing is the problem, or not having water to hand, there are authorised alternatives. If it seems slow, taking it on an empty stomach or a little earlier usually helps.
Why 100 mg is a lot
The product information starts sildenafil at 50 mg, taken about an hour before sex, and only moves up to 100 mg if 50 mg isn’t enough and side effects aren’t a problem. Some men should start at 25 mg: those with severe kidney disease or liver problems, men on alpha-blockers, and those taking medicines such as erythromycin or ketoconazole. A 100 mg-only product leaves all of them out. A higher dose doesn’t mean a better erection; it mostly means more headaches, flushing and visual side effects.
Fact or myth?
Six things people often read about Viagra Professional. Pick an answer for each.
1. It’s made by the Viagra company.
2. It’s authorised in Spain.
3. Because it’s sublingual, it works faster.
4. 100 mg is the normal starting dose.
5. With nitrates or poppers it’s as dangerous as any sildenafil.
6. Spanish pharmacies sell sildenafil you don’t need to swallow with water.
What you can get legally in Spain
| If you want… | Authorised option (prescription needed) |
|---|---|
| Sildenafil at the right dose for you | 25, 50 and 100 mg tablets: Viagra and EFG generics. See generic Viagra. |
| Not to swallow a whole tablet | Chewable sildenafil (several generics, 25 to 100 mg) or orodispersible Vizarsin 50 and 100 mg. |
| No tablet and no water at all | Sildenafil oral suspension with a metered pump (Bandol): each press gives 12.5 mg; the usual dose is 4 presses, 50 mg. |
| A longer window | Tadalafil, which works for up to 36 hours: generic Cialis. |
| Another short-acting option | Vardenafil: generic Levitra. |
Same precautions as any sildenafil
It has no product information of its own, but it contains sildenafil, so all the usual warnings apply. Don’t take it if you use nitrates (GTN, isosorbide), poppers or riociguat; if you have unstable angina or severe heart failure, or have recently had a heart attack or stroke; if your blood pressure is below 90/50 or you have severe liver disease; or if you have retinitis pigmentosa or lost the sight of one eye through NAION.
| Medicine | Effect with sildenafil |
|---|---|
| Nitrates, poppers, riociguat | Severe drop in blood pressure. Must not be combined. |
| Ritonavir | Eleven times as much sildenafil in the blood. Not recommended. |
| Erythromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole | Higher sildenafil levels: the product information says start at 25 mg, which this product doesn’t offer. |
| Alpha-blockers (doxazosin, tamsulosin…) | Dizziness or fainting on standing. Again, start at 25 mg. |
The usual side effects of sildenafil are headache (more than 1 man in 10), flushing, a blocked nose, dizziness, indigestion and blurred or blue-tinted vision. They’re more frequent at 100 mg than at 50 mg.
Call 112 if you get chest pain, shortness of breath or severe dizziness, an erection lasting more than 4 hours, or sudden loss of sight or hearing. Say what you took and when. For an overdose, Spain’s poisons information service (Servicio de Información Toxicológica) is on 91 562 04 20.
The catch with unlicensed medicines
An authorised medicine has had its ingredients, manufacture and shelf life checked, and every batch can be traced. With an unlicensed product, nobody in Spain has checked how much sildenafil each tablet contains or how it was made. Customs can also stop the parcel. If you decide to use it anyway, never take more than one tablet a day, don’t mix it with another erection medicine, and tell your doctor what you’re taking.
Getting the real thing on prescription
If you have a tarjeta sanitaria, see your médico de familia at the centro de salud; a private GP is another option. They’ll choose the dose and the form that suit you, and you’ll pay the full price at the farmacia, because sildenafil for erectile dysfunction isn’t funded. Prescriptions from other EU countries can be dispensed in Spain; UK ones can’t.

Questions people ask
What exactly is Viagra Professional?
A 100 mg sildenafil tablet made in India and sold as sublingual. It isn’t made by the Viagra company and isn’t authorised in Spain.
Can I buy Viagra Professional without a prescription in Spain?
Not from any Spanish pharmacy: it isn’t authorised, and authorised sildenafil always needs a prescription.
Is it stronger or better than normal Viagra?
There’s no evidence it is. It has the same active ingredient, at the maximum dose, without the checks an authorised medicine goes through.
How quickly does it work?
There’s no reliable data, because it has no product information. Authorised sildenafil peaks 30 to 120 minutes after a dose, and food slows it down.
Can I split it to take 50 mg?
Nothing from the manufacturer says the tablet can be split or that the dose would divide evenly. If you need 50 or 25 mg, the safe choice is an authorised tablet of that strength.
Is there any authorised sublingual sildenafil?
Not sublingual, but there are orodispersible tablets that melt on the tongue, chewable tablets and an oral suspension. All need a prescription.
