Viagra [ 100tablets ]

Viagra is a prescription-only medication that is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men, and works for around 74% of men who try it. It works by increasing the blood flow to your penis, which helps men with ED to get and keep an erection when they are sexually aroused. Viagra takes up to 60 minutes to start working after you take it, and the effects last for up to 4 hours.

Why do I need to get a prescription?

Viagra is a prescription-only medication, which means that a doctor has to assess you to make sure it’s safe to take it. This is because it may react with certain medications, or may not be suitable if you have certain conditions. There is a type of Viagra called Viagra Connect which is available without a prescription from a doctor, but you will still need to go through an assessment with a pharmacist before you can get it.

What causes erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is a common condition, and there are many different physical and psychological factors that can cause it. Common physical causes include obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Common psychological causes of ED include stress, anxiety, and depression. Often there are several factors causing erectile dysfunction, not just a single cause. For more information, read our doctors’ advice on the causes of erectile dysfunction.

Viagra belongs to a class of medications called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors. It works by temporarily increasing the blood flow to your penis, helping you to get and maintain an erection.

When you take Viagra, the active ingredient, sildenafil, relaxes the smooth muscles in the penis blood vessels, increasing blood flow which causes an erection.

Viagra only works if you are sexually aroused, it will not cause an erection on its own.

How effective is Viagra?

Clinical studies have shown that Viagra 50mg is effective in 74% of men who take it. The 25mg dose is 62% effective and the highest dose (100mg) is 82% effective, compared to taking a placebo (a pill without medication in it).

You should take Viagra around 1 hour before you plan to have sex. Swallow 1 Viagra tablet with a glass of water. You must only take 1 Viagra tablet every 24 hours.

Viagra is most effective if it is taken on an empty stomach. If you are going to eat with Viagra, choose a light meal rather than a heavy or greasy meal as this can increase the time it takes for Viagra to work.

Viagra is likely to be less effective if you take it with alcohol. Alcohol makes it more difficult to get an erection even if you don’t have erectile dysfunction. So, it is best to avoid or limit your alcohol intake when using Viagra.

When to take Viagra

Viagra takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes to work, so you should take it about 1 hour before you plan to have sex. Taking Viagra more than 4 to 6 hours before you want to have sex may mean your Viagra will have no effect and you will need to wait until the next day to try again.

How long does Viagra take to work?

Viagra usually takes 30 to 60 minutes to start working. So, it is recommended you take it around 1 hour before you want to have sex.

The following factors can affect how long it takes for Viagra to become effective:

• Arousal: You must be sexually stimulated for Viagra to take effect. Without arousal, Viagra will not work. Engaging in foreplay with your partner while you are waiting for Viagra to take effect can be a good way to speed up the process.
• Food: Some foods can delay the effects of Viagra, such as heavy, fatty, or greasy meals. You can take Viagra with or without food. If you take it with food, choosing a healthier, lighter option is a good idea.
• Alcohol: Alcohol can interfere with erectile function, even without Viagra. You should avoid taking alcohol when using Viagra.

How long does Viagra last?

Viagra lasts for up to 4 hours after you take it, although this can vary slightly. So, if you are planning to have sex in the evening, you shouldn’t take it too early in the day, especially as you can only take Viagra once in 24 hours. It’s recommended you take Viagra 1 hour before you want to have sex.

Several factors can affect how long Viagra lasts including, your age, health, diet, and alcohol consumption.

How often to take Viagra

Viagra should not be taken more than once a day. If you take more than your prescribed dose, like taking 2 doses in 1 day, this can increase the risk of side effects and potentially dangerous complications, including permanent damage to your penis.

If you think the Viagra dose you have been prescribed is too strong or too weak, speak to your doctor for advice. You should never take more or less Viagra to compensate.

Viagra comes in 3 different dosages, 50mg, 25mg, and 100mg. The higher the dosage the more of an effect it will have, but a higher dosage may also increase the chance of side effects. You may want to try different dosages to find which one works best for you.

Viagra 50mg

Viagra 50mg is the standard starting dose for most people, and is what we recommend if you’ve never tried Viagra before. 50mg is the most popular dosage of Viagra, and is effective for most men who try it.

Viagra 25mg

Viagra 25mg is the lowest dose of Viagra available. It is slightly less effective than Viagra 50mg, but it is also less likely to cause side effects. 25mg might be the best dosage for you if you tried 50mg and it worked for you, but you got side effects that you’d like to avoid. This dosage may also be offered if you are taking other medications to reduce the chance that the medications interact.

Viagra 100mg

Viagra 100mg is the highest dose of Viagra available. It is more effective than lower dosages of Viagra, but is also more likely to cause side effects. 100mg might be the best dosage for you if you tried 50mg and it didn’t work for you, and you didn’t get any side effects.
