| Millions of men suffer from sexual problems. The widespread sexual dysfunction is the inability of a male to attain or maintain erection until ejaculation. It is differently called erectile dysfunction (ED). Erectile dysfunction is curable. The therapy your GP and you give preference to depends on the cause of ED and your lifestyle. Advances in medicine have helped increase the number of ways to cure male impotence efficiently. One of the most efficient means is medications. Sildenafil (Viagra) is a tablet that men take to treat ED. Two more oral drug therapies, vardenafil (Levitra) and tadalafil (Cialis) were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2003. How does Viagra work? The medication relaxes the blood vessels of the genitals, so blood flow to the organ soars. As a result, there can be a few erections within a few hours. It works, if the man is sexually stimulated, and does not trigger an erection by just taking the pill. Drug interactions Despite the fact that each medication has proved potent, none is cure-all. Moreover, they can bring on problems when taken with other drugs. Remember that drug-to-drug interactions with nitrates or nitroglycerin heart drugs can cause severe drop in blood pressure, which can be fatal. Dosage One blue pill is taken in 24 hours. Commonly it is efficacious within 30 minutes to 1 hour and lasts almost 4 hours. Side effects Even when a drug is taken according to the prescription, side effects can happen. Viagra is no exception. Underneath are a few common side effects you should be well-aware of before taking the drug. The common adverse side effects are splitting headaches, lightheadedness, dyspepsia, redness in face, neck and/or chest and visual problems. Contraindications The drug is contraindicated in men with cardiac problems, physical deformities of the penis, in men predisposed to protracted erections triggered by blood cell disorders, liver problems (especially severe liver disorders), kidney problems and in males taking certain medications used for HIV or those over 65. Deaths have happened during sexual activity in males taking the pills. Please, consult your GP before taking Viagra. If your family doctor has prescribed you Viagra, strictly observe the recommended dosage. |
