What is VIAGRA? VIAGRA, is the new drug from Pfizer for use in the treatment of male impotence. It was the first oral treatment for impotence approved by the FDA. It has been used by millions of men since March of 1998 and has been phenomenally successful at treating this distressing condition. Where can I get Prescribing information for VIAGRA? All prescribing information has now been published at http://www.viagra.com. Visit this site for full details. For more information about VIAGRA, talk with your doctor or pharmacist, or call 1-888-4VIAGRA or visit http://www.wantviagra.com for a free online consultation or trial. How does VIAGRA work? VIAGRA will not give a man an erection if he is not sexually aroused, but will make it possible for a man with impotence to have an erection when he is aroused. When VIAGRA is taken by mouth, it quickly acts to increase the blood flow to the penis. Better erections result for most men. When sex is over, the erection goes away naturally. What if VIAGRA Doesn't work for me? VIAGRA works for the majority of patients. The only way to find out if it will work for you, is to try it. If VIAGRA doesn't give you the results and duration you want, there are other treatments available. Penile injection therapy, allows a man to inject a medication directly into the penis prior to sexual activity. Vacuum devices also allow patients to have a firm erection on demand, without the side effects that some medications have. Talk to your Urologist for information on other options. What is VIAGRA'S success rate? Studies conducted early in VIAGRA'S history show a success rate of between 65% to 88%. This means that most patients do very well with VIAGRA. People who received placebo( ineffective sugar pills) in the same study were not as successful at completing sexual intercourse. How should I take VIAGRA? Our patients find that VIAGRA is most effective when taken 30 minutes to an hour before planned sexual activity. VIAGRA is in your bloodstream for 4 hours or more, and you can rely on it to be effective in that time period. Men find that VIAGRA is effective in as little as 15 minutes, if taken on an empty stomach with a big glass of water. Food can slow the absorption of VIAGRA, so you will find it taking longer to take effect if you have eaten less than 2 hours before taking the pill. IMPORTANT--VIAGRA Is Not for Everyone. Many heart and blood pressure medications have serious interactions with VIAGRA. Medications containing Nitrates when taken with VIAGRA, can cause dizziness, fainting, even heart attack and death. If you take any medications containing Nitrates, you should not ever take VIAGRA. Medications containing nitrates include: Nitroglycerin or Isosorbide pills, sprays and patches for angina and blood pressure control. Include the names of all medications you take on your medical history form, or ask your Pharmacist or Doctor if you have questions. Finding the Right Dose for You Most people should try a starting dose of 50mg of VIAGRA. If you are suffering from any liver disease or are over the age of 65, you should try the lower 25mg dose. It is less expensive to buy the larger tablets, and split them into smaller doses with our pill splitter. Some people find that they need less VIAGRA on an empty stomach or first thing in the morning than they do in the evening after a large dinner. Some medications can alter the metabolism of VIAGRA, so it is important to tell your doctor all the medications you are taking. What are VIAGRA'S side effects? The most common adverse reactions are listed below. It is rare for these effects to be severe enough to cause a patient not to want to take VIAGRA. Most of these side effects can be managed easily and last only a short time. Occasionally men report that lights seem to appear brighter, and that colors are sharper, particularly the color blue. This is a temporary and not unpleasant side effect. Adverse Event Will VIAGRA be sold Over-The-Counter, or will it require a prescription? |
