Viagra in Australia – why it’s so expensive?

Viagra is the trade name for sildenafil citrate, a drug for helping men with erectile disfunction. In most of the world, a prescription is required to buy it but not in Australia. There are other trade names for sildenafil, but Viagra is the best known. Cialis and Levitra are different drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction. It is also being used to treat the unusual disease Raynaud’s Phenomenon which involves ulcers in extremities.

It works by increasing the blood flow to the penis to get and maintain an erection. You take a pill about an hour before sex and wait for the reaction to set in. Vasodilation of the helical arteries is the technical description.

Side effects

There are potential side effects to taking this drug. Heart attacks and strokes are among the most is that side effects. People with heart problems should not take it. Also, a person could have a painful, long term erection which could require a hospital visit. Blurry vision is also possible and even blindness is possible. Oddly enough, hearing loss is a potential side effect. People taking nitrates and not take Viagra at all. Headaches, indigestion, and skin flushing are some of the milder side effects.

People taking protease inhibitors for side and alpha blockers for hypertension should probably not take this drug, either, due to bad interactions with Viagra.

Men are the primary target class for the drug, but there is ongoing research into using the drug in women. There has been some positive research on female test subjects and increased libido. This is, however, still in the research stages. Clinical results continue to be positive for women using Viagra.

Contrary to popular opinion, recreational use of Viagra does not really help normal, healthy men achieve better sexual results than they would otherwise have. However, there could be a psychological advantage should the subject think they are going to perform at a more reliable level. Mostly, Viagra should only be used by those with a diagnosed blood flow problem to the penis.

Viagra shows up in blood testing after someone ingests it. Viagra can be taken by a pill, under the tongue (sublingually), or by an experimental spray. The Viagra spray is very fast acting and can produce results in minutes and lasts longer than conventional pills.

How to buy Viagra?

The best place for men to buy Viagra is through a convenient online pharmacy based in the country.  One must check in to the reliability of the company through Google. An example of a well known and established Australian pharmacy is Edonlinestore at https://edonlinestores.net on the internet.

But Australia has a new innovation in pharmaceutical sales. In Australia you can buy pharmacies at ATM machines throughout the country. Right now it is mostly used by side patients but Viagra sales can only be right around the corner.
