Viagra, or sildenafil citrate, primarily treats erectile dysfunction (ED). It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, facilitating an erection.
Men experiencing difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse may find Viagra beneficial. The medication is not a stimulant; it requires sexual stimulation to be effective.
Dosage typically ranges from 25mg to 100mg, taken as needed, approximately one hour before sexual activity. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your individual needs and health status.
While effective for many, Viagra isn’t suitable for everyone. Conditions such as heart problems, low blood pressure, or certain eye diseases may contraindicate its use. Always consult your physician before starting Viagra to discuss potential risks and interactions with other medications.
Potential side effects include headaches, flushing, nasal congestion, and visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary. Severe side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention.
Remember, Viagra is a prescription medication. Purchasing it without a prescription is illegal and potentially dangerous. A doctor’s consultation ensures safe and appropriate use.
