Erection Problems – Viagra

In many cases medicines will be prescribed by a patient’s doctor to directly assist the body to create and maintain a good erection. These medicines can either be injected into the penis (E.g. Caverject (alprostadil), inserted into the eye of the penis (E.g. MUSE (alprostadil)) or taken as a tablet by mouth (E.g. Cialis (Tadalafil), Levitra (vardenafil), Viagra (sildenafil) and Uprima (apomorphine).Vacuum pumps are another option to help men with erection problems get a good erection.

Viagra (Sildenafil) belongs to a group of medicines called “PDE5 inhibitors”. It is a blue oral tablet, which is swallowed available in three strengths - 25mg, 50mg and 100mg. For Viagra to be effective, sexual stimulation is required and so Viagra will not create an erection unless a man engages in sexually exciting activity.

 

Viagra works by helping the blood vessels to the penis to let more blood flow. This helps to create and keep an erection. This increased blood flow is achieved by relaxing the blood vessels that supply blood to the penis.

The amount of time Viagra takes to work varies from person to person, but on average it takes between 20 minutes to one hour. Within a 4 to 6 hour period after taking the tablet an erection should occur in response to sexual stimulation. A man may find that Viagra takes longer to work if taken with a heavy meal.

 

Viagra works for most men who take it. In studies, more than 4 out of every 5 men taking Viagra had better erections. VIAGRA works in most men no matter how long they have had erectile dysfunction, what caused it, or how old they are. And Viagra has been shown to work time and again in studies of thousands of patients. In those studies, patients had erectile dysfunction that ranged from mild to severe.

 

When taken at the recommended dose, the possible side effects of Viagra are usually mild to moderate and last a short time. The most common side effects are a headache and facial flushing. Less common effects include indigestion, dizziness, stuffy nose and visual effects (a blue colored tinge to vision and increased brightness of light or blurred vision)

 

You need a prescription from your doctor to legally obtain Viagra (Sildenafil). Companies offering Viagra without a valid prescription are breaking the law, and you may be putting your health at risk.
