What is Viagra?
Viagra is a medication developed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED, impotence). It helps men with ED achieve and maintain erection by increasing blood flow into the penis during sexual activity.
Being on the market for more than 10 years, Viagra is proven to work effectively and safely. It can be taken by men of all ages, men having difficulties periodically or constantly, and men with some other health issues, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or depression.
Speak to your doctor to find out whether Viagra is the right medicine in your case.
What should I know about Viagra?
Viagra is proven to work safely in men having such health issues as:
- High Cholesterol
- High Blood Pressure
- Diabetes
- Heart Disease
- Prostate Problems
- Depression
If you take any other medicines, you should know that Viagra is safe to be taken with many of them, like the ones for high blood pressure or depression. If you take drugs called alpha blockers (commonly used to treat prostate problems and high blood pressure), your doctor may lower the dose of Viagra you need.
You must not take Viagra if any nitrate drugs (usually prescribed for chest pain) are used, as it can result in a sudden, very serious drop in blood pressure, which may lead to fainting, stroke, or heart attack. This applies to nitro-glycerine, isosorbide dinitrate and isosorbide mononitrate. Nitrates may also be found in some recreational medicine, e.g. amyl nitrate or nitrite.
As most other drugs, Viagra may sometimes cause mild side effects, lasting for no more than a few hours. You might experience:
- A headache
- Facial blushing
- Upset stomach
In less common cases Viagra may cause bluish or blurred vision, or an increased sensitivity to light. However, in clinical studies these side effects rarely caused patients to stop taking Viagra. Also, the frequency of their appearance has shown to reduce over time.
Be sure to discuss any possible side effects with your doctor.
How should I take Viagra?
You are expected to take Viagra according to the prescription from your doctor.
Usually, Viagra is taken simply when needed. It takes about 30 minutes for it to take effect, which lasts for 4 hours. Erection will go away after having sex.
For better and faster results you are advised to take Viagra without food on an empty stomach.
Viagra can only help to achieve an erection at the moments of sexual stimulation. An erection will not crop up just by taking a pill. Follow instructions from your doctor.
Viagra should be stored in a dry, cool place.
