Viagra Australia

Viagra is a medication for men that are experiencing erectile dysfunction. Its clinical name is sildenafil citrate. Erectile dysfunction, or “ED,” refers to the inability of the penis to get erect for the purposes of sex. In crude layman’s terms, one can’t “get it up” when the time comes. Viagra works by increasing blood flow to the penis. This makes the penis firm or hard enough to engage in sex.
Viagra come in different form and different dosages. One can get single packs or regular prescription tablets. Single Packs are a more convenient single dosage in 50mg and 100mg. The regular tablets come in 25mg, 50mg and 100mg. It is recommended to start off with lower dosages and gradually increase the dosage as required.

Viagra warns not to take any nitrate medicines. These medicines are often prescribed for chest pain, or for pulmonary hypertension. This is because one’s blood pressure could drop to an unsafe level. Obviously, it is not recommended or men that are allergic to its active ingredient, sildenafil. Rare side effects include:

• An erection that lasts more than 4 hours. If this happens it is recommended that one gets medical help right away. This condition is call “priapism” and can permanently damage the penis
• Sudden vision deterioration in one or both eyes. This sudden vision loss can be a sign of a condition called “non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Viagra recommends to stop taking Viagra immediately and to call a healthcare provider immediately.

Buying Viagra Online in Australia

Like the United States, the sites checked in Australia required a prescription. Also like the United States, there were some sites that had “generic” Viagra that did not require a prescription. These sites seemed dubious at best.

To avoid getting ripped off, Viagra recommends that one makes certain that you get real Viagra. Many sites claim to sell genuine Viagra but are actually selling phonies or even dangerous fakes. One can check this by looking for Google. An accreditation ensures the website you are purchasing from is secure and reliable.
