| Millions of men suffer from sexual problems. The widespread sexual disorder is the inability of a male to attain or maintain erection until ejaculation. It is differently called erectile dysfunction (ED).
Erectile dysfunction is treatable. The cause of ED and your life-style determine the treatment you and your doctor will select. Significant progress in medicine has increased the number of new methods available to cure ED efficiently. One of the most powerful forms is drugs.
Sidenfil (Viagra) has been developed for men suffering from sexual disorders. Two more oral medications, vardenafil (Levitra) and tadalafil (Cialis) were sanctioned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2003.
How does Viagra effect the male's body?
The drug relaxes the arteries of the penile area, so blood flow to the organ soars. The result? More natural erections over a few hours. It is efficacious, provided the male is sexually aroused, and does not cause an erection by simply taking the medications.
Drug interactions
But while each drug has proved potent, none is cure-all. Moreover, they may cause health problems when taken with other medications. Keep in mind that drug-to-drug interactions with nitrates or nitroglycerin heart medications can cause dangerous decrease in blood pressure, which can be lethal.
Dosage
One blue tablet is taken in 24 hours. Commonly it is efficacious within 30 minutes to 1 hour and lasts approximately 4 hours.
Side effects
Almost every drug has adverse side effects, even if you take it as prescribed. Viagra is no exception. Below are a few common adverse side effects you should be aware of before taking the medication. The commonest adverse side effects are headaches, sweating, indigestion, redness in face, neck and/or chest and visual problems.
Contraindications
The drug is contraindicated in men with heart problems, physical deformities of the penis, in males with a predisposition to protracted erections triggered by blood cell disorders, liver problems (in particular grievous liver disorders), kidney problems and in males taking certain medications used for HIV or those over 65. Deaths have occurred during sexual activity in men taking the drug.
Please, contact your GP before taking Viagra. If your family doctor has prescribed you Viagra, stringently follow the recommended dosage. |
