So let’s talk about Viagra, if you haven’t heard the name then you must be living under a rock because it has been in the market for many years now. It is the wonder pill that brought back erections where there were none, and revolutionized sex life for many older adults, specifically men. Despite this many people still don’t know exactly how it works and how it is used, so let’s get to it.
Viagra is the trade name for a prescription medicine to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or impotence. Its fame comes from being the first pill or medicine to hit the market for treating (ED). When it came out it was very expensive but today the price has gotten much lower and there is plenty of competition too.
So what’s (ED)?
Well this is when a man cannot get an erection or maintain one long enough to have intercourse. This could happen for many reasons, some of which are: Depression, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, prostate cancer treatment and spinal cord injury. As we can see, apart from depression, most of the reasons that cause (ED) have to do with health problems that can come from lifestyle or illnesses. This is one of the main reasons why Viagra is a prescription drug, meaning you can only buy it with a prescription from your doctor, who has to recommend it to you after examining your circumstances and informing you of the possible of risks and side effects of using it.
Since Viagra works by increasing the blood flow to the penis, it is obvious that heart condition in general is a very important factor your doctor have to check before prescribing the treatment, also you must take in consideration that if you are already taking medicine to treat other diseases you doctor must check that there is no conflict between the drugs. The main ingredient in Viagra is sildenafil citrate; if you are allergic to this forget about taking the medicine.
What are the possible side effects and risks of using the drug?
Priapism: This is when an erection doesn’t go away after 4 hours; you must know this is very dangerous you could lose your best friend if you don’t get it treated right away. I have heard of the procedure for this and it is terrible.
Sudden vision loss in one or both eyes.
Sudden hearing decrease or hearing loss.
I recommend not driving or operating any machinery if you are taking Viagra for the first time.
How to use Viagra? If you want to prepare for a fun session with your partner you should take the pill 30 to 40 minutes before the encounter. It will generally last for about 4 hours, but some people report that it starts to wear off after 2 or 3 hours, as in any medicine, effects vary from person to person.
So what about buying or getting Viagra Down Under? Well in Australia, as in many places like the UK and the US, you need a prescription from your doctor to get Viagra, or any other generic or trade mark brands of the component. But many men want to cut some corners and save a few bucks by not going to the doctor or buying the drug from overseas using popular online “drug stores”. This of course is safe. When you buy medicine online, most of the time, these sites are places where they save your money. So any place that doesn’t require a prescription is recommended. There are only a couple of online places in Australia of respectable drug stores you can use but with such delicate drug I would prefer to get it in my local drug store.
So that’s it, if you feel you need Viagra, remember first get the prescription from your doctor, take precautions for the possible side effect and have fun.
