Understanding Viagra and its Uses

Viagra, containing sildenafil citrate, primarily treats erectile dysfunction (ED). It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, facilitating an erection.

While primarily used for ED, Viagra also sometimes treats pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition causing high blood pressure in the arteries leading to the lungs. This use is less common than for ED.

Before using Viagra, consult your doctor. They’ll assess your overall health and determine suitability. Certain medical conditions and medications can interact negatively with Viagra.

Possible Side Effects Frequency
Headache Common
Facial flushing Common
Nasal congestion Common
Visual disturbances Less common
Muscle aches Less common

Dosage depends on individual needs and should be prescribed by a healthcare professional. Common dosages range from 25mg to 100mg. Never exceed the recommended dose.

Viagra’s effects usually last for about 4 hours. Individual responses vary.

Remember, obtaining Viagra requires a prescription. Discuss your health concerns with a doctor to determine if Viagra is the right treatment option for you.
