Viagra

Viagra (Generic Name: Sildenafil citrate) is a drug that treats erectile dysfunction or impotence by increasing blood flow to the penis. The medications are taken a half hour before sex and the effects can last for four to five hours. However the drug has side-effects and it is imperative to talk to your doctor and discuss your entire medical history before taking it.

Viagra users have reported facial flushing, headaches, liver problems, heart attacks (rarely), blurred vision, bluish vision and sensitivity to light. The most infamous side-effect though is the four hour or more erection. Sometimes these erections can be extremely painful as well. Anyone experiencing this is advised to call a physician or visit a hospital immediately. 

People suffering from cardiovascular problems, stroke victims, those who are taking nitrates for various ailments (like chest pain and/or hypertension), people who have been advised against sexual intercourse for various reasons should avoid the blue pill. Viagra shouldn’t be mixed with other medications that treat ED.

Even though, reasearch is ongoing Viagra is not yet available for women. Herbal alternatives like ginseng and yohimbe can boost your sexual performance, but they haven’t been proven as effective as Viagra in treating ED.
