Viagra Australia

Erectile dysfunction commonly known as ED is a problem facing many men around the globe today. The great demand for treatment forced professionals to look for a remedy and their answer was sildenafil, commonly known as Viagra. Some people may be confused by the two terms but they are the same thing. Viagra is but a brand name for Sildenafil and has proven to be an effective drug in treatment of ED. It must however be noted that Viagra is not a cure to erectile dysfunction, rather it is a temporary treatment that helps men get an erection. To permanently cure ED one has to address the underlying problem, such include obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure all of which are related. Viagra however can permanently help if the underlying problem is anxiety.

As pointed out earlier Viagra and Sildenafil are the same thing. This is a case of branding and generic drugs. A company called Pfizer was the original manufacturer of sildenafil and developed the band name Viagra for it in 1996, they owned the only patent to manufacturing the drug and that’s why many people came to know the drug as Viagra. However Pfizer lost the patent in 2013 and other companies were allowed to manufacture. The drug can now be found in chemists under the name sildenafil. They appear almost the same and are priced approximately the same.
Viagra should be taken before sex with the effectiveness being felt 30 or 40 minutes after ingesting a pill. One is therefore advised to take one pill an hour before sex. It works by increasing blood flow to the erectile tissue of the penis.
Viagra or Sildenafil is a very powerful drug and there is a big list of donts if you are taking it. The most important of these is not to take Viagra if you take any medicine called nitrates commonly used to treat chest pain. You should also not take Viagra if you are allergic to sildenafil. Viagra also has a lot of side effects, it can cause prolonged erection (more than four hours), hearing loss, heart attack symptoms, headache, upset stomach and many more.
In light of this it is very important that you consult a doctor before taking it. He/she will test you and advise you accordingly. However Viagra is also sold online and one can run the risk of taking a wrong drug or suffering side effects if you don’t consult a doctor first. Companies like edonlinestores.net provide free assessment online before they can sell you Viagra. Viagra has generally proven to be an effective drug with an 80% success rate.
