| Viagra is being marketed by many
as a cure for impotence or erectile dysfunction.
This is not true. Viagra does not cure erectile
dysfunction. It works by increasing the blood flow
to the male sexual organ. It does not fulfill any
emotional or psychological needs. Below are a few
things that you need to know about Viagra.
- Viagra is not an
aphrodisiac.
Before people take Viagra they need to remember
that it is not an aphrodisiac. It is a medication
that is used to treat erectile dysfunction. It
is not meant to be taken by those people who do
not suffer from this problem. Viagra is not a
recreational drug that is meant to heighten the
sexual experience. It simply treats the physical
problem of impotence.
- Viagra gives instant
results.
This statement is completely untrue. Viagra needs
to be taken an hour before commencing any sexual
activity to provide an erection. In some cases
Viagra can take effect in half an hour, but it
is rare. Also it is important to know that Viagra
does not stimulate an erection.
- Viagra can be taken
by women
Viagra should not be taken by women, as it is
not meant for them. At present it is only meant
to treat male impotence. Clinical studies are
underway at the moment to see if Viagra can affect
women in the same way as it works on men.
- Viagra is perfectly
safe for all to use.
This statement is not true. Viagra is not meant
to be used by any and everybody. If you use nitrate
drugs to control your angina, do not take Viagra,
as a combination of these drugs can be fatal and
can lead to a heart attack. Viagra will also cause
your blood pressure to drop to unsafe levels if
you are on angina medication. Also make sure that
you speak to your doctor before you take Viagra,
to see if your heart is healthy enough for any
sexual activity. Furthermore do not take Viagra
if you are allergic to sildenafil.
- You can buy Viagra
without a prescription
Viagra is a prescription medication that should
be purchased only by prescription. It can be very
dangerous to buy Viagra without a physical examination
from your doctor. Only your doctor can know if
Viagra is right for you. Do not buy this drug
without a prescription as it is illegal and you
can be arrested.
- Viagra has no side
effects
Viagra like all medications has side effects;
this is why one has to be extremely prudent when
taking it. Common side effects of Viagra include;
headaches, flushing of the face and an upset stomach.
These side effects are mild and tend to go away
after a few hours. However, if any vision changes
occur accompanied by blurriness and a bluish tinge,
it is important that you speak to your doctor.
In rare cases, Viagra is also reported to have
produced erections lasting longer than 4 hours.
If this happens, visit your emergency room immediately.
- Viagra makes a
normal erection last longer.
This is another poplar untruth about Viagra. Viagra
does not make a normal erection last longer. If
a man takes Viagra and has sex, his erection will
go away. Viagra only increase blood flow to the
male sexual organ. It does not increase stimulation.
You must be sexually stimulated to get an erection.
