What is Viagra like?
Viagra (sildenafil citrate) is an anti-impotence medicine specially designed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It was first approved by the FDA in March 1998 an since then has been the most popular remedy for the treatment to potency-related problems in males of all ages. The effects of Viagra are based on relaxing the muscle in the penis and letting the blood flow into it preventing that blood from escaping back. This medicine affects specific enzymes in the body responsible for the inflow of the blood into the tissues of the penis. Unless there was a specific enzyme responsible for that process (there are 11 kinds of enzymes in the human body, and PDE5 is associated with the genital area) men would be unable to take Viagra and achieve any result. This drug is available by prescription only if you purchase it at your local pharmacy, but can be also purchased online where generic forms are sold. This drug comes in tablets of 25, 50 and 100 mg of the active ingredient. The advice here is the following: if you need to be taking 50 mg (most often prescribed dose), make sure you buy the 100 mg kind and split the tablet in half – this trick will help you save some money, as those two dosages usually cost amount the same. The more of Viagra you purchase – the cheaper this medicine is going to cost you typically, but it’s recommended to buy it in small amounts for the first time to see if it works for you. While some insurance companies do cover Viagra, other ones don’t – so you will need to make sure this medicine is covered if you are not ready to buy Viagra an pay a very high price for it. You are supposed to take your medicine about 30-40 minutes before having sex. This is one of very few disadvantages many people find in taking Viagra – the fact that you have to plan your sex is not too attractive. However, for many men this is the best alternative to surgeries and vacuum pumps that can be dangerous and painful. The effects of Viagra can last up to 4 hours, but the response at 4 hours is less than it was 2 hours after consumption. When Viagra is taken with a high fat meal, the rate of effectiveness is reduced. This medicine (although by another name) can be also used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. You must never combine Viagra with other medications before talking to your health care provider, especially nitrate-based medicines. Combining Viagra with some medicine that contains nitrates can lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure resulting in fainting, stroke or even death. You can have an erection with Viagra only if you are stimulated sexually. Viagra works by increasing blood flow to the tissues and this happens only in reaction to visual or other kinds of stimulation. However, people using Viagra reported it’s a lot easier to get excited and get an erection with Viagra – and faster too. The famous blue pill of Viagra is easily recognized by most people in the world – over more than 10 years of its existence it already helped millions of men to get their erections back and have sex as much as they need.
