Sildenafil citrate, commonly known as Viagra, is perhaps the most popular and recognized way of treating impotence or erectile dysfunction. In the UK, according to different scientific resources, more than 2.3 million people are suffering from problems related to erectile dysfunction and Viagra is considered to be the most immediate solution when it comes to restoration of their sexual lives. Quite recently other medicines, namely Cialis and Levitra, have also been introduced. As Viagra was the first medication to be introduced (in 1998) to solve impotence problems, its popularity has become integrally related to popular culture. Viagra is generally recognized as a medication used treat erectile problems only, but its medical properties are also quite useful in treating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Viagra was introduced for the first time by Pfizer, a medicine manufacturing company based in the United States. Available in three different dosages, 25mg, 50mg and 100mg, this medicine allows users to gain and consequently sustain an erection, depending on the nature of the sexual stimulation. Generally, physicians recommend that patients start with 50mg dosages and later on, with close consideration of the patient’s situation, determine whether the dosage of Viagra UK needs to be changed. The prescribed way to start using this medication is to take it 30 to 60 minutes prior to sexual intercourse. During this time the main element of Viagra, sildenafil, will be absorbed in your blood and consequently will postpone the organic process of cGMP enzyme deconstruction by PDE-5. This chemical reaction is responsible for maintaining an increased rate of blood flow in the penis and keeping muscles in this area relaxed so that an erection is maintained. Normally, failure to get an erection and an inability to maintain the same, after receiving sexual stimulation, is caused due to lack of blood flow in penis. The physical factors responsible for such a situation are cholesterol problems, irregular dieting habits, injuries in the central nervous system and overdependence on antidepressants. Regular intake of carefully determined dosages of Viagra results in increasing blood flow in the penis and consequently it becomes possible to attain a more satisfactory and fuller erection.
The popularity of Viagra is prevailing and unfortunately quite often this medicine is used for recreational purposes even when users are not suffering from erectile dysfunction. It is also quite unfortunate to know that use of Viagra for recreational purpose is quite high among youths. Common misunderstandings that lead people to use this medicine for non-medical purposes are its capacity to increase sexual appetite and sexual performance and that it is capable of permanently enlarging penis size. If used frequently and at high dosage for recreational purpose, Viagra can lead to non-responsiveness to natural sexual stimulations. Moreover, the main ingredient of Viagra (sildenafil) is often mixed with various forms of illicit drugs and such combinations can be dangerous. Prolonged use of such drugs can cause permanent impotence. Consumption of Viagra along with amyl nitrite can be highly dangerous and fatal on several occasions.
