Generic Viagra

Sildenafil citrate enhances the flow of blood to the penis, thus allowing the person to achieve an erection. This compound works to allow more blood to flow into the penis, much like the natural process that occurs during sexual excitement. When blood flows into the penile region, the arteries of the penis fill up with blood, and the penis becomes engorged. This is what causes an erection. Erectile dysfunction occurs when there is interference in any of these steps. Generic Viagra allows a man to respond to stimulation, and maintain the erection till the act is successfully completed

Sildenafil citrate begins to work quickly. Its effects can be seen within 60 minutes of taking the pill, and the effects can last up to 4 hours. However, it is important to remember that taking the pill by itself will not give you an erection. To achieve an erection, a man has to be sexually stimulated. The pill does not work in the absence of external sexual arousal. Generic Viagra does not work like a hormone to boost an erection. It is meant to be used simultaneously with sexual stimulation in order to be effective.

Generic Viagra comes in 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg doses. The kind of dosage you need may be decided by your physician. For instance, if a low dose pill does not help you achieve an erection easily, then your doctor may increase the dosage. If you begin to suffer from side effects from the medication, then your doctor may need to reduce or readjust the dosage. Only use the dosage as prescribed by your doctor. Generic Viagra can only be used once a day. In certain people, like those who are above 65 years of age or suffer from liver or kidney problems, doctors may prescribe a single 25 mg dose in a 48 hour period.

Generic Viagra is not recommended for women or children. Also, men who suffer from heart problems or use nitrate-based drugs must not take Viagra. This is because the Sildenafil citrate in Generic Viagra can react with nitrates, causing a sudden drop in blood pressure. A heart attack or a stroke can result. You will find nitrates in nitroglycerine sprays, patches, ointments and tablets, isosorbide mononitrate and isosorbide dinitrate tablets that are used in the treatment of angina. Nitrates are also present in certain recreational drugs like amyl nitrate. If you are unsure if the drugs you are using contain nitrates, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Generic Viagra must never be combined with alcohol because alcohol can interfere with the body's ability to generate an erection. It must be taken after food, but must be avoided after a heavy high fat meal. That's because the fats may interfere with the drug's ability to begin its effects.
