Viagra

Viagra is a drug developed to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an adequate erection and is related to a variety of factors, including stress, aging, and health.

Pfizer Inc. of the U.S. began manufacturing and marketing the product in 1998, and it has been used worldwide ever since.

Many men in Japan use it to improve erectile dysfunction, and it is generally prescribed by a physician.

type

There are several variations of Viagra, including a pill type and a type that dissolves by mouth.

Because there are many options available, including generic drugs, it is possible to choose the type that is right for you in consultation with your physician.

Other ED drugs with similar effects include Levitra and Cialis, but their onset and duration of effect are different, so it is recommended that they be selected according to the intended purpose.

component

The main ingredient in Viagra is sildenafil. This ingredient increases blood flow to the penis by dilating blood vessels, thereby aiding erection.

Sildenafil was originally studied as a treatment for heart disease, but its effectiveness in aiding erections was discovered and it was utilized as a treatment for erectile dysfunction.

Because of its effectiveness in increasing blood flow, it is important to take appropriate doses under the guidance of a physician.

effect

The effects of Viagra are felt about 30 minutes to an hour after it is taken, and it is easier to maintain an erection.

However, it is a drug that supports a natural sexual response, as its effects do not manifest themselves without sexual arousal or stimulation.

Since the effects are not immediate once taken, systematic use is recommended.

immediate effectivity

Viagra is fast-acting, often within 30 minutes to an hour after it is taken.

However, there are individual differences, and the effect is more likely to appear quickly if taken on an empty stomach.

On the other hand, it is recommended that the drug be used on an empty stomach, as taking it after a meal may delay the onset of its effects.

effect time

The effects of Viagra last approximately 4-6 hours.

Sexual stimulation during this time will help you get an erection and increase the likelihood that you will enjoy more time with your partner.

Since the duration of effect varies from person to person, it is important to time the use of the product.

side effect

Viagra has been reported to cause side effects such as facial flushing, headache, and red eyes.

Because of its vasodilating effects, it can affect blood pressure, and it is important to consult a physician if you have heart disease or blood pressure problems.

In rare cases, serious side effects may occur, so if you experience any abnormalities, you should discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.

How to drink (timing of drinking)

Viagra is recommended to be taken approximately one hour before sexual activity.

It should be taken on an empty stomach for quicker onset of effect, and it should also be taken with a fatty meal, as it may reduce its effectiveness.

It must be taken systematically to maximize its effectiveness, with careful attention to timing.

risk

While Viagra is highly effective, it also carries risks. It should be taken with caution, especially by people with heart disease or low blood pressure.

An overdose risks a sudden drop in blood pressure, so you must always follow your doctor's instructions.

Drug interactions are another risk, especially for those taking nitrates.

alcohol

Consumption of alcohol when taking Viagra may decrease the effectiveness of the drug.

It is also advisable to refrain from consuming alcohol before and after taking the drug, as the side effects may be intensified when combined with alcohol.

In some cases, moderate doses are not a problem, but it is safe to follow your doctor's instructions.

high blood pressure

Caution should be exercised when Viagra is used by those with high blood pressure.

Because Viagra itself lowers blood pressure, there is a risk of lowering blood pressure too much when used in combination with hypertension medications.

It is important to consult with a physician and receive proper guidance before taking the drug.

How to Buy

Viagra requires a doctor's prescription and is generally purchased at a pharmacy.

Since sales over the Internet are prohibited in Japan, it is recommended that you seek medical attention at a reputable medical institution.

Be aware that unauthorized products on the Internet carry risks.

insurance coverage

Viagra is not covered by insurance. Erectile dysfunction treatment is generally not covered by insurance and is therefore fully self-pay.

Therefore, those who are concerned about cost should consider generic drugs.
