Erectile dysfunction (ED), which can be referred to as impotence, is an unfortunately common condition.  It is the inability to achieve and maintain an erection for sexual activity. It is more common in older men, affecting 50% of men aged 40-70, but can affect adult males of any age.  ED can be a result of anxiety or stress, or due to more serious medical issues such as diabetes or heart disease.  Basically, ED occurs when there is insufficient blood flow to the penis, preventing a full and firm erection.

What is Viagra?

Viagra is a brand name. Its chemical name is Sildenafil and it's a treatment for erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension. In combination with sexual stimulation, it helps men achieve and maintain an erection long enough to partake in sexual activity. It works by dilating blood vessels, incldung the blood vessels in the penis, leading to improved blood flow and a firmer, longer-lasting erection.

 

Can Viagra be used in women too?

To date, Viagra has not been shown to have a substantial benefit for females.  In theory, it can increase blood flow to the female genitalia and increase llubrication and sensation.  In practice, most females will not report a noticeable or positive effect when taking the medication.  Viagra has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of sexual dysfunction in females. 

 

How can you acquire Viagra?

Viagra is only available by prescription from a doctor. It is not available over the counter, and you will need a doctor’s consultation and prescription to get some. 

 

How long before you see lift-off?

You will start to notice the effects of Viagra after around 30 minutes, but it can take up to an hour, so be patient as it’s worth the wait.  It is recommended that you take the medication approximately one hour before sexual activity, and on an empty stomach for maximum effect.

 

Does Viagra have side effects?

Yes, like any medication, Viagra does have potential side effects ranging from mild to serious. Make sure you understand and can recognize the potential side effects before starting the medication. Common side effects affecting 1 in 10 individuals include headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, hot flashes, congestion, and nausea. Serious side effects may include chest pain, a sudden change in vision, an allergic reaction, and an erection that won’t go down for over 4 hours (priapism).

 

Does Viagra always work?

Viagra has a high efficacy rate, but will not work for everyone.  There are other avenues to explore if Viagra is not the answer for you. These options include mechanical devices like a vacuum pump, creams, injections and penile implants.  

 

Can it work too well?

Viagra’s effects fade on average between 4 to 5 hours after consumption. However, age and diet can affect this timeframe. The drug can sometimes be a little too powerful, leading to a rare condition known as priapism.   Priapism is an erection lasting over 4 hours and is a medical emergency.  If you believe you are experiencing priapism after taking Viagra, you should immediately proceed to a local emergency department where this can be treated appropriately. 

 

Top tips

  • Avoid eating grapefruits or drinking grapefruit juice when taking Viagra, as it can affect the potency of the medication.
  • Never take more than 1 pill a day.
  • Always buy Viagra from a reputable supplier to avoid fake medication.
