VIAGRA: Frequently Asked Questions

VIAGRA, a magic blue pill, generating to Pfizer Inc, its developer, USD 1.9 billion annually, has always been associated with myths, most of which delude people. On this occasion, we interviewed a professioinal urologist with more than a 20 year experience. Let's find out what is true and what is false.

What if I Take a Single VIAGRA Pill

Does it start to act immediately?

Firstly, for the tablet to start acting you need a partner, an object of your desire and passion. To get erection, you need a natural sexual stimulation. If there is no sexual desire and stimulation, there is no erection.

Secondly, VIAGRA is not an aphrodisiac, so you won't fool the nature. It mechanically affects an erection, not your feelings. If romantic plans are suddenly changed, the VIAGRA effects will simply not become apparent.

Can I stay hard all night long?

Sildenafil citrate, an active ingredient in VIAGRA, has a 4 hour half life. In 2 hours it reaches the peak plasma concentration, and after that the effects start to slowly decrease. The maximum duration of its action is 4-6 hours. It is better to take VIAGRA 30-40 minutes before the planned sexual intercourse.

In which case VIAGRA won't work?

If your sexual problems are of psychological nature or related to the peculiarities of your psychosexual development, it will not work for you. If you have endocrine problems, VIAGRA won't work either.

Does VIAGRA improve orgasm somehow?

It does not, absolutely not.

What if

VIAGRA is taken by an absolutely healthy male?

If a patient has a sufficient erection, VIAGRA won't make it harder. Another example is when erection is weak due to fatigue. Then Viagra will help.

I take more than one pill at once?

Such side effects as headaches, dizziness, flushing, blurred vision, gastrointestinal distress will definitely occur. In case of combining Viagra with nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, a patient may just die.

I get addicted to VIAGRA?

There is no physiological addiction to VIAGRA. But the psychological one may definitely take place.

I chew VIAGRA, not swallow?

Film-coated tablets are absorbed in particular parts of the gastrointestinal tract. When chewed, the drug can get stuck in the mouth, therefore decreasing its dosage and possible effects.

I take it with alcohol?

It is recommended not mix VIAGRA with with alcohol and fatty food not to reduce efficiency. More than 5 units of alcohol might lower your blood pressure which is dangerous.

I use Viagra as stimulant in sports?

No effects at all have been reported.

I take a pill before sleep to have erotic dreams?

Erotic fantasy and dreams are indication of libido. And, as I said above, Viagra does not cause the desire.

Viagra is taken by a woman?

Despite the fact VIAGRA was designed specifically for males, it might increase blood circulation in the female's intimate area. But this does not mean that a woman will burn in passion. Female sexuality, in contrast to men's, is more psychological. Viagra won't help it anyway.

And the Last Question

Why is Viagra so expensive?

There are many factors. These are being first to the market, high consumer demand, popular brand and patent protection, TV advertisement.

But the good news is that any one have other options to apply for. For example, the effects in Levitra or Cialis may last up to 12 and 36 hours, respectively. Additionally, Cialis (the Weekend pill) and Levitra can be taken along with food and alcohol. All the other effects are the same as in VIAGRA.
