Viagra in Australia

Viagra, or as it is officially named, Sildenafil, is a drug used by primarily men. The reason one might use Viagra is for treating the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. A prescription is needed when trying to attain a dose of viagra. It is recommended that the person using Viagra not also consume alcohol at the same time that they are taking the drug. Drinking alcohol while also taking viagra can lead to very serious consequences, as the interactions between the drug itself and the alcohol in your body is a deadly mixture.

Side effects

Though it is somewhat uncommon for the user to experience any side effects from using viagra there is still a chance that one may experience some. Some of the side effects associated with taking viagra are allergic reactions. This includes itching or the appearance of hives on the skin, as well as swelling in the face, hands, mouth, tingling in your throat, mouth, chest tightness, and having difficulty breathing. Side effects may also include severe headaches, uneven or irregular heartbeat, fainting, a feeling of lightheadedness, a painful erection or having an erection that lasts for longer than 4 hours, loss of vision, as well as loss of hearing. If you were to experience any of those side effects, it would be advised that you seek out your doctor immediately without question. However, experiencing less serious side effects associated with viagra, such as headaches, nosebleeds, stuffy or runny nose, upset stomach, warmth or redness in the face, neck, arms, and upper chest, then it would be advised that you talk to your doctor about these symptoms once you get a chance.

The proper time use of viagra is about 1 hour before you plan to have sex. It is important that you do not use any more than your doctor has recommended for you to take at a time. This can result in any of the previously mentioned side effects becoming even more severe.

Another use of viagra is for hypertension. Hypertension is more commonly referred to as high blood pressure, or HBP. This is a type of blood pressure that occurs between the heart and the lungs. When one has high blood pressure, their heart is working extra hard in order to efficiently pump blood through the body, which causes extra strain on the body, most importantly the heart, and can lead to heart failure or cardiac arrest if left untreated. Viagra works on the enzymes that work in the lungs to help ease the tension on the blood vessels. This not only increases the blood flow between the lungs and the heart, but it significantly drops the workload that the heart has in order to pump blood. The release of all that tension in the heart dramatically decreases the chances of one suffering from heart related diseases.

In Australia, doctors have seen a dramatic number of requests come in from men who want to use viagra to increase their sexual performance. The cause of this rise in numbers has not been identified yet. However, doctors are responding to the requests, and the increase in demand is only rising.
