Plan B options, medicines with close similarity, and approximate our cost estimates in Australia (AUD)
There are several complementary medicines for erectile dysfunction. Onset, duration, and price vary between options. Prices below are approximate private retail ranges and can differ by pharmacy, brand, dose, and dispensing fees. Many treatments for ED are not subsidised by the PBS.
- Generic sildenafil tablets: same active ingredient as Kamagra. Typical private retail prices might be around AUD 12 to 45 for a pack of four tablets in the 50-100 mg range.
- Viagra (sildenafil, brand): brand name usually costs more, roughly AUD 60 to 120 for four 100 mg tablets.
- Tadalafil (Cialis or generic): provides longer duration of effect, up to 36 hours. Expect about AUD 25 to 85 for four tablets depending on strength; daily low-dose packs vary widely in monthly cost.
- Vardenafil (Levitra or generic): similar timing to sildenafil. Prices are often in the AUD 30 to 90 range for a short pack of tablets.
- Avanafil (Spedra) medication: some people report a faster onset. Retail prices can range from about AUD 60 to 160 for a small pack.
- Other sildenafil forms such as dispersible tablets or oral jelly: price and quality vary and products not registered locally may present legal or safety issues.
Comparison notes:
- Fastest onset is often seen with avanafil and standard sildenafil formulations, typically within 30 to 60 minutes for many users.
