About Viagra blue pills

Viagra (sildenafil citrate) is an oral prescription medication designed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. ED is a condition where a man is not able to sustain an erection long enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse even after he is sexually excited. Viagra therefore helps a man with ED get and keep an erection. Viagra is for men only and must not be used by women and children. This is a prescription medication and must be used only after a thorough consultation with your doctor.

Viagra:

• Does not give you an instant erection; you must be aroused for Viagra to work

• Usually works in about 30 minutes

• Works for 4 hours, so you can take your time

• Must be taken on an empty stomach or after eating a low-fat meal for faster results

• Does not cause a permanent erection; the penis comes back to its flaccid state after completing the sex act

How does Viagra work?

Erectile dysfunction or impotence affects men of all ages. Viagra, one of the three ED medications, is used in the treatment of impotence. It belongs to a group of medicines that delay the enzymes called phosphodiesterase type-5 from working too quickly. When the phosphodiesterase is controlled using sildenafil, it helps to maintain an erection. But this happens only in the presence of physical stimulation of the penis. Viagra sildenafil being a very popular drug, there is a new found sexual youth in men of all ages because of the little blue pill.

Viagra helps manage the underlying cause of erectile dysfunction, thus playing a significant role in improving sexual function. Working on the muscles in the penis, Viagra assists in the control of blood flow and allows for more blood to enter the penis when the time is right. The effect of Viagra can last for up to 4 hours, therefore taking Viagra an hour before anticipated sexual activity should be optimal. Viagra cannot cause unplanned erections until you are sexually stimulated.

Although, the little blue pills are crucial to getting an erection, they are by no means an aphrodisiac nor do they enhance sex drive; but definitely manage the mechanics of erection.
