Viagra (Sildenafil) 25mg

About Viagra:

Viagra is the most prescribed oral medicine for erectile dysfunction (ED). Worldwide, it has helped 25 million men with ED improve their erections.

• Viagra has an established safety profile of more than 10 years
• Viagra works for most men with ED
• Viagra is safe for men with ED who have certain other conditions

What Viagra is used for:

Viagra belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. It works by helping to relax the blood vessels in your penis, allowing blood to flow into your penis when you get sexually excited. VIAGRA will only help you to get an erection if you are sexually stimulated. You should not take VIAGRA if you do not have erectile dysfunction. You should not take VIAGRA if you are a woman.

Viagrais a treatment for men with erectile dysfunction, sometimes known as impotence. This is when a man cannot get, or keep a hard, erect penis suitable for sexual activity.

Getting an erection is only part of the story:

In a global survey, men identified 3 of the most important elements of a satisfying sexual experience: hardness, timing, and the ability to maintain an erection. Viagra can help with all 3.

 Taking Viagra Knowing what to expect

• You will not get an instant erection. You must be aroused for Viagra to work
• Viagra usually works in about 30 minutes
• Viagra works for 4 hours, so you can take your time
• After sex, your erection will go away
• To get the fastest results, take Viagra on an empty stomach or after eating a low-fat meal.

How does Viagra work?

Viagra is a prescription drug that works by increasing blood flow to the penis. Viagra enables many men with erectile dysfunction to respond to sexual stimulation. When a man is sexually excited, Viagra helps the penis fill with enough blood to cause an erection. After sex is over, the erection goes away.

How long will it take for Viagra to work?

Viagra begins working in about 30 minutes and it can last for up to 4 hours. In one study of prior Viagra users that were given a 100-mg tablet 2 hours after eating, it was proven to work in as little as 14 minutes. (Data taken from a study of 228 men with ED who previously had success with Viagra. Of the 115 men who took Viagra 100mg, 35% had erections hard enough for successful intercourse at 14 minutes and 51% of men at 20 minutes.)

How often can I take Viagra?

For most patients, Viagra can be taken once a day as needed. In patients taking certain protease inhibitors (such as for the treatment of HIV), it is recommended not to exceed a maximum single dose of 25 mg of Viagra in a 48-hour period. As always, please consult with your doctor if you have any questions about taking Viagra.

Getting the best results: 

When taking Viagra, remember these 4 things. That way, you can focus on what really matters—having a more satisfying sexual experience.

Knowing what to expect

1. Get into the mood

Viagra will not give you an instant erection. It only works when you need it to—when you are sexually aroused. And after sex, your erection will go away.

2. Take your time

Viagra works for 4 hours. So relax. There's plenty of time to be intimate with your partner. You should begin by taking Viagra 30 minutes to 1 hour before having sex. You might find that Viagra works faster for you. For some men, it works in as little as 14 minutes.*

3. Easy on the burgers

Viagra is just as effective with or without food and alcohol. But to get the quickest results, avoid high-fat meals 2 hours before taking Viagra. A fatty meal—like a cheeseburger and fries—can slow your body's ability to absorb the drug. When this happens, Viagra may not work as quickly.

4. If at first you don't succeed…

For most men, Viagra works the first or second time. But some men need to ease back into sex. So if Viagra doesn't work, don't give up. Try taking it again. And remember, Viagra can be taken as often as once a day, every day.

If you still don't get results, talk to your doctor. Often a dose adjustment can make all the difference

*Study included 228 men with ED who previously had success with Viagra, each taking 100 mg at least 2 hours after eating.

Finding the right dose:

Viagra has been shown to help men with erectile dysfunction (ED) achieve harder erections. So if you aren’t getting the erections you want, don’t give up.

For some men, Viagra begins working the second or third time. For others, a simple dose adjustment can make all the difference.

Viagra comes in 3 doses: there are 3 doses of Viagra: 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg. Doctors usually start their patients on the 50-mg tablet. But many men find that Viagra 100 mg works better.

Can I take Viagra with alcohol and food?

Yes. However, drinking alcohol can temporarily impair the ability to get an erection. To get the best results, it is best not to drink large amounts of alcohol before taking or while taking Viagra.

Viagra can be taken with or without food. When taking Viagra, a fatty meal—like a cheeseburger and fries—can slow your body’s ability to absorb the drug. It may not work as quickly. So eat something with less fat if you can, or give yourself more time.

Viagra 25mg contains the active ingredient  Sildenafil.

What are the side effects of Viagra?

Safety is important. And Viagra has an established safety profile of over 10 years. But Viagra is not for everyone.

Who should not take Viagra

If you take any medicines that have nitrates in them (like nitro-glycerine for chest pain)—every day or even once in a while—you should NOT take Viagra.

Possible side effects

The most common side effects of Viagra are:

• headache
• facial flushing
• upset stomach

Less commonly, bluish vision, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light may briefly occur.

As with any ED tablet, in the rare event of an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help to avoid long-term injury.

In rare instances, men taking PDE5 inhibitors (oral erectile dysfunction medicines, including Viagra) reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to these medicines or to other factors. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of vision, stop taking PDE5 inhibitors, including Viagra, and call a doctor right away.

Sudden decrease or loss of hearing has been rarely reported in people taking PDE5 inhibitors, including Viagra. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to the PDE5 inhibitors or to other factors. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of hearing, stop taking Viagra and contact a doctor right away.

Viagra is safe for men with certain other conditions

Viagra has been shown to work safely in men who have ED and other health issues. These issues include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, prostate problems and depression.

If you are over the age of 65, or have serious liver or kidney problems, your doctor may start you at the lowest dose (25 mg) of Viagra.

Viagra is safe for men who take most other medicines

If you take any medicines that have nitrates in them (like nitro-glycerine for chest pain)—every day or even once in a while—you should NOT take Viagra.

Viagra can be taken safely with most other medicines, like those for high blood pressure and depression.

If you have prostate problems or high blood pressure for which you take medicines called alpha blockers, your doctor may start you on a lower dose of Viagra.

If you are taking protease inhibitors, such as for the treatment of HIV, your doctor may recommend a 25-mg dose and may limit you to a maximum single dose of 25 mg of Viagra in a 48-hour period.

Can I take Viagra with other medicines?

• Tell your doctor about any medicines you are taking.
• Don't take Viagra if you take nitrates, often prescribed for chest pain, as this may cause a sudden, unsafe drop in blood pressure.
• If you have prostate problems or high blood pressure for which you take medicines called alpha blockers, your doctor may start you on a lower dose of Viagra.
• If you are taking protease inhibitors, such as for the treatment of HIV, your doctor may recommend a 25-mg dose and may limit you to a maximum single dose of 25 mg of Viagra in a 48-hour period.
• Do not start or stop taking any medicines before checking with your doctor or pharmacist. This includes prescription and non-prescription medicines or remedies.
