What is Viagra?

Viagra is a well-known medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. Its active ingredient, sildenafil citrate, works by improving blood flow to the penis, helping men achieve and maintain an erection during sexual activity.

How Does Viagra Work?

Viagra works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing more blood to flow when a man is sexually stimulated. It is typically effective within 30 to 60 minutes after taking the pill and can last for up to 4 hours.

How to Use Viagra Safely

  • Take Viagra only under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional.

  • The recommended starting dose is 50 mg, but it may vary based on individual health.

  • Avoid using more than one tablet within a 24-hour period.

  • It should not be taken with alcohol or certain medications (such as nitrates).

Possible Side Effects

Some users may experience side effects such as:

  • Headaches

  • Flushing

  • Dizziness

  • Vision changes

  • Upset stomach

Seek immediate medical help if serious side effects occur, such as chest pain or severe allergic reactions.

Important Notes

Viagra is not intended for individuals without erectile dysfunction and should not be used recreationally. It also does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.
