What is Viagra?
Viagra is a prescription medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED)—a condition that makes it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sex. It contains the active ingredient Sildenafil, which works by improving blood flow to the penis during sexual arousal. Viagra is available in strengths such as 25mg and 50mg.
Who is the ideal candidate for Viagra?
Viagra may be suitable for adult men who:
-
Find it hard to get or keep an erection
-
Are in good general health or have been approved by a healthcare professional to use ED treatments
Viagra may not be suitable for you if you:
-
Take nitrate medications for chest pain
-
Have serious heart or liver conditions
-
Have recently had a stroke or heart attack
Our trained clinicians will review your medical history to make sure Viagra is safe and suitable for you.
How does Viagra work to treat erectile dysfunction?
Viagra works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, increasing blood flow during sexual stimulation. This helps you get and maintain a firmer erection. It doesn’t increase sexual desire and will only work if you’re sexually aroused.
How do I take Viagra?
-
Take Viagra about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity
-
It typically starts working within that time and can remain effective for up to 4 hours
-
Swallow the tablet whole with water
-
Don’t exceed one dose in 24 hours
-
Avoid heavy meals or alcohol, as they can reduce effectiveness
Our clinicians will help determine whether the 25mg or 50mg strength is best for your needs.
What are the main side effects of Viagra?
Like all medications, Viagra can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include:
-
Headache
-
Flushing
-
Indigestion
-
Nasal congestion
-
Dizziness
-
Changes in vision
These side effects are usually mild and temporary.
Will Viagra Cure My Erectile Dysfunction?
Viagra is a treatment—not a cure—for erectile dysfunction. It can help you get and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated, but it doesn’t treat the underlying causes of ED.
Is Viagra different from Sildenafil?
Viagra and Sildenafil contain the same active ingredient. Viagra is the branded version, while Sildenafil is the generic. Both work in the same way to treat erectile dysfunction.
What else should I know about Viagra?
-
Only take Viagra when you plan to have sex
-
It requires sexual stimulation to work
-
Avoid combining it with recreational drugs or nitrates
-
Always answer the medical questionnaire honestly to ensure safe treatment
