Erectile dysfunction, or in layman terms: the failure to get and maintain an erection (or a boner) for sexual encounters or purposes, plagues not only older men but younger men nowadays in this age of technology, due to the superfluous availability of the high speed internet which enables the high – speed streaming of pornographic materials. Young people maybe can cure their erectile dysfunction by quitting the consumption of pornographic materials (though it might take some discipline), but for older people, it might be very hard considering biology is not being very kind to their body: about half of the population of older man fifty year or older experience erectile dysfunction, and a whooping seventy – five percent of the population age sixty. There is no wonder that Viagra has been a popular treatment for such a complication, to cure this inevitable health problem for men, because it works so well and with negligible side effects at all.
With any medicine, side effects are unavoidable since you are introducing foreign substances into the body. Viagra has some side effects as well, such as flushing, headache or dizziness, abnormal vision alterations, lose hearing, stomachache, diarrhea, congested or bleeding nose, and muscle pains. These side effects are normal according to researches and consumers’ reports, and your body will get used to these side effects after you take Viagra regularly, though these side effects may be pronounced if it is your first time taking the medication. Some of the other serious allergic reactions though, may include inhalation difficulty, chest pain or jaw pain, loud ringing in the ear, prolonged loss of vision, or painful erection. If these allergic symptoms occur, you should stop using Viagra and look for other alternative medicines out there. It goes without saying that Viagra should not be taken concurrently other erectile dysfunction medicines or especially with alcohol, and if you have some heart problems, you should not take Viagra since it can lead to a heart attack.
The active ingredient of Viagra is sildenafil citrate. This active ingredient works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5), which makes it belongs to the “phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5) inhibitors”. The PDE 5 is an enzyme that blocks the blood flow throughout the blood vessels and harden blood vessels in the body, and blocking this enzyme allows for the relaxation of the blood vessels, thus allows more blood to flow to the sexual region, aiding in the getting up and maintaining an erection for the men afflicted by erectile dysfunction. Viagra itself does not help you get an erection spontaneously, and a sexual stimulation is still needed for it to work, where it is from a partner or from pornographic materials (which is advised against). Viagra is a fast acting medicine, and it only takes five to ten minutes to be effective, which is a definite plus for the users.
There are a lot of website floating around, claiming to be selling Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs for a fractions of the price and free shipping, users should approach this with cautions. The safest methods to obtain Viagra would be to get them from a licensed doctor, and you can get these prescriptions filled out at cheap yet competitive pharmacies, such as Costco and Wal-Mart.
