Viagra (Generic Name: Sildenafil citrate )
Viagra is the first FDA-approved pill for impotence, and has helped more than 16 million men regain their
sex lives. By increasing blood flow to the penis, Viagra makes it easier for men to achieve erections.
In clinical studies, 4 out of 5 men who took Viagra reported significant improvement with their erections.
Medication usage :
Viagra is a prescription medication that's used to treat male erectile dysfunction.
How it works :
Viagra works by increasing levels of nitric oxide in the blood. When this happens arteries in the penis relax and widen allowing for more blood to enter.
Important Fact :
Viagra causes erections only during sexual excitement. It does not work in the absence of arousal.
Directions :
Viagra comes in 50 mg and 100 mg tablets. The normal recommended startup dose is one 50 mg pill 15 to 45 minutes
before engaging in sexual activity. You should know that Viagra does not work without sexual stimulation.
You must be aroused in order for it to take affect. After stimulation is over your erection will go away.
While taking Viagra you should not drink alcohol. Alcohol can impair a man's ability to achieve erections.
Also, do not take Viagra along with meals high in fat content. Fatty foods can slow down the effectiveness
of Viagra.
Medical precautions :
DO NOT take Viagra with drugs containing nitrates. Nitrate medications are used to treat chest pains in heart patients.
If you have uncontrolled blood pressure you should not take Viagra.
