Viagra Erectile Dysfunction Medication

In 1996, the FDA first approved the use of Viagra. Since then, Viagra, Pfizer, has gone on to dominate a large portion of the Erectile Dysfunction (ED) market.

Considering that many of the adult male sufferers of ED had no other prior ED treatment options up to this point, the benefits of taking Viagra proved to be welcomed by society.

Men of all ages who previously suffered from ED or impotence were able to treat this physically and mentally debilitating ailment and revive their sexual lives to levels that they had never experienced before, even before their ED. Not only that, but their partners were also able to enjoy a happier, healthier sex life once again.

How does Viagra Work?

When a male suffers from ED, there can be an excess of PDE5 enzymes. Viagra works by quickly entering the bloodstream and inhibiting the PDE5 (phosphodiesterase) proteins, which regulate the arteries and the blood flow to the penis. When the male becomes either physically or mentally aroused, the arteries in the penis open for the blood to flow freely, causing the penis to inflate and become erect.

How do I take Viagra?

Your doctor prescribes the dosage level. Viagra is taken orally in two forms: 50mg and 100mg tablets. Viagra works quicker when consumed on an empty stomach. Following oral ingestion, Viagra typically works in thirty to sixty minutes.

Viagra is not meant for everyday use. Please allow at least 24 hours between doses.

Are there Side Effects of Viagra?

Some users have experienced minor and pretty common side effects when taking Viagra. They include facial flushing (redness of the face) upset stomach, slight headache, heartburn, dizziness, lightheadedness, and in some cases, a visual blurring and the presence of a blue-tint which lasted several hours.
