Viagra is a prescription medicine used to treat erection problems. Since it first became available in 1998, Viagra has been helping to improve the sex life of men and their partner's and has been used by over 20 million men world-wide. Amazingly, 9 tablets are dispensed every second worldwide. More studies have been carried out on Viagra than any other treatment for erection problems.
Viagra works for 8 out of 10 men if taken correctly, so it is important to follow some simple advice on getting better sex with Viagra. Viagra improves erections with most men no matter how long they have had erection problems, no matter the cause, how often they have it or how old they are. It is no wonder Viagra is the most prescribed treatment for erection problems .
Viagra works by increasing blood flow where you need it. It does this by inhibiting an enzyme called PDE 5, which prevents the breakdown of an important chemical messenger cGMP. This allows the chemical messenger cGMP that instructs the arteries controlling blood flow to the penis to accumulate at increased levels, so the natural process of an erection can occur.
With Viagra, you must be sexually excited to get an erection. If you take Viagra and are not sexually stimulated, nothing will happen. You won't get an erection just by taking the pill. Viagra is not an aphrodisiac or a hormone. It's a medicine that treats a physical erection problem.
Once you take it Viagra can work for most men within 30 minutes. Viagra works for at least 4 hours and peaks at 1 hour, so you can choose your moment.
Safety is of paramount importance when considering any medication. Viagra has been tested in more than 110 controlled studies and has been used by over 20 million men worldwide. Through these studies and real-world experience Viagra has been shown to have a proven safety profile and to be well tolerated. Viagra has been prescribed by more than 600,000 doctors and is the only treatment for erections problems with a proven safety profile that extends more than 4 years. If you have any concerns over safety discuss them with your doctor and always discuss your medical history with them.
There are very clear guidelines about who can take Viagra and who can't. And there's only one way to know for sure if VIAGRA is right for you - you must visit your doctor for a physical exam and a face-to-face conversation about your own particular problems. Do not use an Internet service that offers an online diagnosis.
It's important to tell your doctor about any medicines you may be taking, both prescription and non-prescription. A medicine you are taking for another health problem might be causing your ED, but never stop taking any medicine before talking to your doctor.
Your doctor will advise whether Viagra is right for you.
*A normal doctor's consultation will apply. A Viagra starter pack is available only from your doctor, and will be given only if your doctor feels Viagra is right for you.
Viagra is at its highest concentration in your body in 1 hour. This matches studies of men's sexual habits that show the amount of time that passes between a couple contemplating sex and actual intercourse is just under one hour, whether a man has an erection problem or not. But don't worry if your timing is a little off, Viagra lasts for up to 4 hours and allows for prompt onset of action.
