What is Viagra
Viagra is a PDE5 inhibitor, designed for erectile dysfunction treatment. The drug works by improving blood flow to the penis, allowing patients to maintain an erection.
It can be used on demand and is suitable for daily usage. However, it’s effective only 4–5 hours after administration.
Viagra Benefits
If you’re struggling with getting hard because of physiological or mental reasons, Viagra will help you maintain an erection. However, the drug will work only when you’re sexually stimulated.
Viagra can be a great choice, as it doesn’t have any influence over:
- Sperm quality and production;
- Sensitivity;
- Ability to ejaculate.
You shouldn’t take more than one pill per day, though. If you would like to go for a second run after 5–6 hours, the drug’s effect will subside. It’s not a “weekend pill.”
Viagra Side Effects
Some of the Viagra’s side effects are:
- Headache and dizziness;
- Digestive issues and nausea;
- Diarrhea;
- Nosebleeds;
- Vision disturbances;
- Nasal congestion;
- Hot flushes.
Contraindications
Viagra shouldn’t be used by individuals who have been diagnosed with:
- Cardiovascular disorders;
- Hypotension;
- Liver dysfunction;
- Kidney disease;
- Stomach ulcer.
Viagra for Women
In theory, Viagra can be used by women for hypertension treatment. But the drug won’t be effective in terms of sexual arousal.
Viagra Dosage
The recommended dosage varies between 25 and 100 mg/day. Viagra will be most effective when taken at 50–100 mg/day, but the starting dose can be lowered (to evaluate your body’s reaction to the drug).
Exceeding the dosage of 100 mg/day isn’t recommended, as it can cause overdose symptoms.

Common Questions About Viagra
Are Viagra and Cialis the Same?
Viagra and Cialis are PDE5 inhibitors used for ED treatment. However, Cialis can be taken in lower dosages daily or on-demand, whereas Viagra’s dosages do not differ. Also, Cialis is effective for up to 36 hours, and Cialis for up to 4–5 hours.
Does Viagra Increase Timing?
Viagra doesn’t prolong your intercourse, but it can lower the refractory period. Some ED medications can make you last longer, but it comes at the cost of your sensitivity. Viagra doesn’t cause these issues.
Does Viagra Work for Everyone?
Viagra is a proven and potent ED drug, but it doesn’t work for everyone. The results will depend on your body’s response to Viagra, your age, and dosage.
Viagra is a must have drug if you are running longer cycles. PCT does not provide an instant fix but Viagra does. Definitely worth the money.
