For many men suffering from erectile dysfunction, the development of Viagra was the “drug of the century” for the 20th century. This medication has completely changed the way we approach men with E.D.

The principal reason men develop problems with E.D. has to do with the detrimental effects on the circulation of the penis due to a number of causes. These causes include aging, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, sedentary life style, obesity, cardiovascular disease and sometimes medications used to treat these various problems. Viagra works by promoting improved blood flow within the penis. Viagra does not work on all men, but the statistics from thousands of men studied reveal that about 70% of men show a favorable response. In these men, the use of Viagra results in a satisfactory erection about 70% of the time.

FAQ'S

How should one use VIAGRA? We know from research that it sometimes takes a few doses of Viagra to achieve success. We generally prescribe the 50mg. dose first, and if that does not suffice, move up to 100mg. If after 6-8 tries with both doses the drug still does not work, it may be time to move on to other treatments. (all of these other options are covered here in the website) To achieve maximum chance of success it is best to take the medication on an empty stomach (it’s o.k. to eat a little later) then wait at least 2 hours or more before attempting sexual relations.

How safe is VIAGRA? Viagra is a VERY SAFE medication, but should not be used by men who are using a class of drugs called NITRATES. Many men ask me about combining it if they are taking blood pressure medications, blood thinners, and heart medications. It’s o.k. as long as you are not taking nitrates.

How about side effects? Viagra does have some side effects, but none of these are dangerous. The side effects include headache, facial flushing, color visual changes and stomach upset. Only a few men find they cannot tolerate the medication.

What if VIAGRA does not help me? Please consider other options. Almost all men suffering from E.D. can be helped by one method or another, and all of these methods are covered here on drmobley.com.
