Viagra has been available to Australians since the 1990’s, and has had explosive growth in the consumer markets since then because of word of mouth also because, well, it’s known for being efficient and getting the job done. If you’re suffering with erectile dysfunction (ED), there’s no reason to continue stressing or becoming embarrassed in front of partners because of it when a little blue pill could be the solution you’ve been waiting for. While there’s been thousands of different ED medications created by pharmaceutical companies over the years, only Viagra has come out on top as the most recognized name in the market, and for good reason. 
Why Viagra?
While there’s many options available in Australia nowadays, Viagra remains the most popular for good reason. It’s proven itself as a leader in erectile dysfunction medications due to it’s ease of use and reliability. When people take a Viagra pill before a sexual encounter, they know it will work for them because it’s fast acting compared to all of its competitors such as Cialis and Levitra, and it’s going to give a full erection as soon as the effects last. Other medications build up more slowly, and while they may last longer, many men just want the reliability that their erections will be rock hard and ready when their partners are ready.
How Long Does Viagra Last?
After the effects begin and you’re attaining erections when aroused, the beneficial effects will often last for up to 4 hours as long as you continue to stay aroused. What this means is that you should consider the 4 hours as a window period that you have to initiate sex and to get yourself and your partner ready. However, most people will not have an erection the entire time as most people are not sexually stimulated for a constant 4 hours. In fact, you should at least take short breaks in between any sexual activity whether taking Viagra or not. There’s actually a very uncommon but dangerous condition known as priapism which is when a person has an erection for 4 hours or more, which can cause cells in the penis to die as a result. This is a medical emergency, so if you have experienced this then it’s important you seek medical attention immediately. However, this is extremely rare so this should not be a cause for fear if you’re considering taking Viagra.
General Precautions
Viagra is considered to be safe for most men to take, assuming they have no allergies to it or any health conditions that it’s not recommended for. This includes anyone with blood pressure problems, HIV, and other diseases or conditions that can affect the circulatory system. If you’re unsure if you have a condition that may not be suitable with Viagra, speak to your doctor. The most common side effects of Viagra include nasal congestion, flushing and headaches and these are not normally a cause for concern. Rare or more serious adverse effects have occurred to some people when taking Viagra, but these are often due to allergic reactions or health conditions that are negatively affected by Viagra as mentioned earlier. When you receive your box of Viagra, there will always be an informational pamphlet inside with a list of any serious side effects that should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately.
