Do viagra tablets help treat erectile dysfunction? Here's what you need to know!

Millions of men worldwide experience erection problems, also known as erectile dysfunction (ED). Whether it happens occasionally or on a regular basis, it can be a result of several different factors including age, health, and medical conditions. Whatever the cause, ED can be a distressing condition that can have ramifications on your relationships and emotional wellbeing.

If you are experiencing ED, Pharmacy Planet can help. In addition to providing tips and advice on improving your erections, we can provide medications to improve your performance in the bedroom.

Erectile Dysfunction Treatment
One of the most common treatments for erectile dysfunction are Viagra Sildenafil Citrate Tablets. Viagra is the brand name for a proven and trusted ED medication called Sildenafil. Suitable for men aged 18 and over, its active ingredient sildenafil is classified as a PDE-5 inhibitor and can treat ED as well as pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Available only on prescription, they come in tablet form that are taken by mouth and are available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. You can buy Viagra and Sildenafil tablets online in the UK from Pharmacy Planet.

Sildenafil Tablet Uses

Sildenafil is used for the treatment of impotence and erectile dysfunction in men. When taken correctly, it can help a man gain and retain an erection strong enough for sexual activity. It doesn’t work on its own, however: sexual arousal and stimulation are required for sildenafil to work.

Sildenafil works by relaxing the smooth muscle around the penis, allowing for an increased blood flow. Because more blood can flow into the penis, men taking Viagra are able to have stronger erections than they would otherwise. 

Viagra/Sildenafil: How Long Does it Last?
For most men Sildenafil takes around 30 minutes to 1 hour to start taking effect. Depending on your age, general health, and diet, Sildenafil can last anywhere from 4-6 hours. Its peak tends to be around an hour after taking it and the effects will start to decline after 3-5 hours.

If you’re also worried about how long you last in bed, Viagra may be able to help. On average, men will have an erection that lasts around 30 minutes an hour after taking Viagra. While erectile dysfunction medication can help your erections last longer, it won’t keep you from losing an erection after ejaculation. Known as the refractory period, your body needs time after orgasm before you can become sexually aroused enough for another erection. Viagra will help you get another erection after your refractory period is over.

Viagra/Sildenafil Dosage
Viagra should be taken at least an hour before sexual intercourse is expected to occur. The amount you’ll be prescribed will depend on several factors including your health and why you’re taking it. Your GP or prescribing healthcare professional will let you know how much you should take. You will most likely start with a lower dose at first before increasing to a higher dose. Everyone is different, but in general:

●     Adults up to 65 years old can take a max dose of 50mg once per day

●     Adults 65 and over can take 25mg once per day

If you’re finding that your prescribed dosage isn’t working the way you expected it to, speak to your GP. You should never increase your dosage on your own or double up on doses because this can end up having serious impacts on your health.

Making lifestyle changes can often improve how well Viagra/Sildenafil works and reduce ED overall.

The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.

How to Use Viagra for the Best Results

There are several factors that can impact how well Viagra works. One of the best ways to ensure maximum effect is to take it on a mostly empty stomach alongside a relaxed, unimpaired state of mind. This means avoiding fatty foods, alcohol, and any illicit substances.

Men with a higher body weight may find that Viagra takes longer to work while those with a healthier weight and faster metabolism will feel Viagra’s effects sooner.

Some tips for improving Viagra’s Effects:

●     If you do eat beforehand, don’t eat heavy or fatty meals. Aim for foods high in fibre and protein.

●     Don’t drink grapefruit juice as there’s some evidence this can reduce Viagra’s effectiveness.

●     Alcohol reduces blood flow so drink in moderation.

●     Reduce stress and anxiety wherever possible.

●     Exercising can improve your mood and improve blood flow.

●     Quit smoking since cigarettes are a contributing factor to ED and premature ejaculation.

●     Consult with your doctor about any medications you’re taking including over-the-counter medications and herbal supplements.

Sildenafil Side Effects
All medications have the potential for side effects. Since Sildenafil is taken in the short term, side effects are less likely to occur. If they do, they tend to be mild. The most common side effects are:

●     Facial flushing

●     Headaches

●     Dizziness or nausea

●     Stomach upset

Serious side effects are rare, but there are some signs and symptoms to watch out for. You should contact medical help right away if you start to experience:

●     Vision loss or blurred vision

●     A prolonged and/or painful erection

●     Chest pain or tightness

●     Swelling in the face, mouth, or lips

●     Difficulty breathing

●     Seizures

●     A rash
