Viagra is a popular drug to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Despite its popularity, many people still have questions about its safety, effectiveness, and how to use it properly.
In this blog post, we will answer some of the most frequently asked questions about Viagra, including its safety, how it should be taken, how long it takes to start working, how long it lasts, and its potential side effects.
Is taking Viagra safe?
If you do not have heart problems or take nitrates, Viagra should be fine to take, and it’s also safe to take for a long time without any overall harmful effects. But that doesn’t mean anyone can pop it. A doctor can tell you best if taking Viagra should be okayed for you, as it is a prescription drug and can interact with other medications and be dangerous if you already take medicines for high blood pressure.
How should it be taken?
Viagra should be taken by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually when needed. Take it at least 30 minutes, but no more than 4 hours, before sexual activity, with 1 hour before being the most effective. More than one pill isn’t advised. The dosage of Viagra is based on your medical condition, other medications you may be taking, and how you respond to treatment. Tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use, including prescription and non-prescription drugs and herbal products.
How long does it take before you start to see results?
Viagra usually starts working for erectile dysfunction within 30 to 60 minutes after taking it. However, you can take it up to 4 hours before sexual activity. Keep in mind that just taking Viagra won’t help you with that erection. Being sexually aroused for it to work is all on you.
How long does it last?
The effects of Viagra last between 2 and 3 hours. But, it can last up to 6 hours or longer depending on your dosage, metabolism, and other factors. If your erection lasts more than 8 hours and is painful, seek medical help immediately. It is important to note that Viagra may not work right after you have had sex, as it is not physically possible to get another erection right after ejaculating.
What are its side effects?
The most common side effects of Viagra are headaches, nausea, dizziness, and hot flashes. But most men do not experience any side effects or only mild ones. Eating a light meal before taking Viagra can help reduce the severity of headaches and other side effects, but it may slightly reduce the effectiveness of the drug compared to taking it on an empty stomach.
At what age can you start taking it?
Viagra is for men over 18 years old to treat erectile dysfunction. It is not for women or children. There is no maximum age limit for using Viagra, but men over 65 should start with a lower dose. Men between the ages of 18 and 64 should start with 50 mg, while men over 65 should start with 25 mg.
What’s the difference between sildenafil and Viagra?
Viagra is the brand name for the drug sildenafil, which is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Sildenafil is the same medication as Viagra, made by Pfizer Inc., and is now sold as a generic drug by many manufacturers worldwide.
What does Viagra contain?
There are active ingredients and inactive ingredients. The former is sildenafil citrate. The latter include microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, anhydrous dibasic calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, hypromellose, triacetin, lactose, and FD & C Blue #2 aluminum lakes.
