Information on dosages of Viagra. Crucial information about Viagra usage and safe administration of this medication
No matter how mild a medication is or how simple the physical complication you are suffering from, using a chemical drug abundantly is never recommended. Erectile dysfunction is often described as a simple problem of male sexual health but taking unnecessary extra dosages of medications to treat this condition would neither solve the problem quickly nor would it help you to enjoy an improved libido.
Unfortunately, the commercial success of Viagra as a medication to treat erectile dysfunction has developed these types of misconceptions. These ideas are tempting enough to draw attention of youngsters as well as elder people and leave them exposed to the dangers of negative reactions caused by sildenafil, the main ingredient of the medication. So, it is important at the first place that a Viagra user gets to know about the safe ways to use Viagra to protect his sexual health.
Being a Viagra user, if you search over the internet for the right resource to purchase this medication, you will find several companies are offering you this medication at a lower price and without the requirement of a prescription. At the same time you may also come across 120mg or 150mg dosages of this medication. Make it clear at the first place that Viagra is exclusively a prescription drug and Pfizer-made authentic Viagra cannot be purchased unless recommended by a registered physician. The highest dosage of authentic Viagra is 100mg and the sources that claim to give you 120mg or 150mg pills are actually selling generic medications. Depending on the degree of erectile problem, the right dosage of Viagra (varying between 25mg, 50mg and 100mg) is recommended to a patient by a doctor. An expert would always emphasise getting your physical diagnosis done before recommending this medication so that you may know the root cause of the problem.
The popular misconceptions regarding Viagra usage, apart from capacity of the medication to improve libido, also say that it can give a person resistance against sexually transmitted infections. It is also opined strongly that Viagra can solve premature ejaculation problems and empower men to perform better in bed. There is no logical foundation to these arguments. Viagra is designed to be a medication to treat erectile dysfunction and a user gets the opportunity to sustain an erection not more than four hours. So, taking extra dosages of this medication than its prescribed limit will not solve these complications; rather a person may face life-threatening complications by doing so. Patients with cardiac problems, diabetes or liver or kidney diseases are under greater risk of suffering from these situations, compared to those who don’t have these.
Viagra users also need to be careful while taking other medications with this anti-impotence drug. This medication should never be mixed with some antibiotics (containing clarithromycin, dalfopristin/quinupristin, erythromycin or telithromycin), nitrates, ACE or beta blockers. The chemical reaction of these chemicals with sildenafil citrate can be fatal for a user. Consuming alcohol and Viagra together may reduce the efficacy of the medication and you must never mix grapefruit juice and Viagra together. If you have a recent history of suffering from major cardiovascular problems, liver or kidney disorder and renal dysfunction it is better to start with low dosages of this medication. During sexual intercourse, after taking this medication, if you experience nausea, chest pain or blurred vision seek medical assistance without delay.
