Viagra – a helping
aid
Viagra, also known as Sildenafil, does
not directly give a man an erection. It works by boosting
the natural mechanism that leads to an erection.
Viagra helps by elevating the levels
of the chemical that causes the tissues to relax. These
effects were discovered accidentally. The drug was originally
developed to improve blood supply to the heart in angina
sufferers.
The drug can help impotence associated
with diabetes, spinal cord injuries, prostate surgery,
and even impotence with mysterious causes. Viagra was
tested on 5,000 men with varying degrees of impotence.
It achieved a success rate of 60-80%, depending on the
dosage. It is a very convenient drug.
In a small number of cases, people who have taken Viagra
have complained of headaches, flushing and stomach-ache.
It can also cause some visual problems, including an
increased sensitivity to light, blurred vision or an
inability to tell the difference between blue and green.
Men who are already taking medicines that contain nitrates,
such as nitro-glycerin, are strongly advised not to
use Viagra because the combination can lower blood pressure
too much. So people who are sensitive to drug reaction
should utilize it.
Doctors in the UK and other country
can give a drug to a patient under what is known as
the "named patient" arrangement. This allows
the doctor to prescribe an unlicensed drug if they are
satisfied that it is the right treatment and the patient
takes full responsibility for anything that goes wrong.
Many men use vacuum devices or compression
rings to get and keep an erection. It is also possible
to have an injection in the base of the penis to increase
the flow of blood. Surgery and implants are also an
option in some cases. There are also several other prescriptions
and over-the-counter pills that have been recommended
for impotence problems in men, but none of these other
options to eradicate erectile dysfunction have ever
been proven to be as effective as Viagra.
Viagra is sure a helping aid for the
people suffering from erectile dysfunction.
