Viagra

Generic Viagra is an exact copy of the branded Viagra used to increase potency and treat erectile dysfunction in men. These pills help men achieve an erection and keep it throughout sexual intercourse. This drug is a type 5 phosphodiesterase inhibitor (PDE-5 inhibitors).

Indications

The drug is used if a man for some reason can not achieve or maintain a sufficient erection with sexual arousal. The drug allows men to get the opportunity to achieve a natural reaction to sexual stimulation.

Viagra has the following indications for use:

• violation of erectile function;
• lack of sexual arousal, lack of attraction to a partner;
• too short sexual intercourse;
• lack of a natural response to penile stimulation;
• impaired blood circulation in the genital area;
• long recovery after sexual intercourse.

How does it work?

The active ingredient of the drug (sildenafil) improves blood supply to the pelvic organs, allowing the penis to fully fill with blood for an erection. The product does not cause an inadequate painful erection, while recovery periods after ejaculation and sexual intercourse are significantly reduced.

The speed of action greatly depends on the susceptibility of the male body to the substance that makes up the drug (sildenafil). According to preliminary studies, Viagra starts working about 1 hour after taking the pill, regardless of dosage. Therefore, you should not try to accelerate the onset of action by increasing the dosage of the drug.

In different patients, the duration of Viagra may vary: this indicator depends on the prescribed dosage, as well as the individual susceptibility of the body to the active substance of the drug. The average duration of Viagra is 5-6 hours. You should not take the drug several times a day, trying to strengthen the result: this often leads to side effects and a significant deterioration in well-being. Also, you do not need to increase the dosage, even if the doctor prescribes a minimum daily dose.

Dosage and administration

To achieve the desired result and to forget about erectile problems for a long time, you must adhere to the instructions for use.

The tablets are intended for oral use. The recommended daily dose is 50 mg (the drug must be taken 1 hour before the planned sexual intercourse). The maximum dosage is 100 mg of sildenafil. The medicine can be taken only once a day. Depending on the effectiveness of the generic drug and the condition of the body, the dosage can be reduced to 25 mg per day.

• exacerbation of peptic ulcer of the duodenum;
• hyper or hypotension;
• cardiovascular diseases;
• use of other drugs to stimulate an erection.

Side effects

Viagra rarely side effects. The most common male responses to sildenafil are:

• allergy – severe itching, a rash in the groin and on other parts of the body;
• increase in blood pressure;
