When taken correctly, VIAGRA works for most men. Studies show that it works for up to 4 out of 5 men. VIAGRA improves erections in most men no matter how long they have had Erectile Dysfunction, what caused it, how often they have it, or their age. VIAGRA works by increasing blood flow to the penis. Viagra is not a hormone or an aphrodisiac. Once you take it, VIAGRA can work in as quickly as 30 minutes. VIAGRA works for at least 4 hrs and, in most patients, can be taken as often as once a day.
Erectile Dysfunction is often a physical problem. VIAGRA is a medicine that treats this problem by increasing blood flow where you need it. With VIAGRA, you must be sexually excited to get an erection. If you take VIAGRA and are not sexually stimulated, nothing will happen. You won't get an erection just by taking the pill. VIAGRA is not an aphrodisiac or a hormone. It’s a medicine that treats the physical problem of Erectile Dysfunction.
This summary contains important information about VIAGRA®. It is not meant to take the place of your doctor’s instructions. Read this information carefully before you start taking VIAGRA. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you do not understand any of this information or if you want to know more about VIAGRA. This medicine can help many men when it is used as prescribed by their doctors. However, VIAGRA is not for everyone. It is intended for use only by men who have a condition called erectile dysfunction. VIAGRA must never be used by men who are taking medicines that contain nitrates of any kind, at any time. This includes nitroglycerin. If you take VIAGRA with any nitrate medicine your blood pressure could suddenly drop to an unsafe or life threatening level. What Is VIAGRA? VIAGRA is a pill used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help many men who have erectile dysfunction get and keep an erection when they become sexually excited (stimulated). You will not get an erection just by taking this medicine. VIAGRA helps a man with erectile dysfunction get an erection only when he is sexually excited. How VIAGRA Works VIAGRA enables many men with erectile dysfunction to respond to sexual stimulation. When a man is sexually excited, VIAGRA helps the penis fill with enough blood to cause an erection. After sex is over, the erection goes away. What VIAGRA Does Not Do VIAGRA does not cure erectile dysfunction. It is a treatment for erectile dysfunction. VIAGRA does not protect you or your partner from getting sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV—the virus that causes AIDS. VIAGRA is not a hormone or an aphrodisiac. Finding the Right Dose for You VIAGRA comes in different doses (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg). If you do not get the results you expect, talk with your doctor. You and your doctor can determine the dose that works best for you. Do not take more VIAGRA than your doctor prescribes. If you think you need a larger dose of VIAGRA, check with your doctor. VIAGRA should not be taken more than once a day. If you are older than age 65, or have serious liver or kidney problems, your doctor may start you at the lowest dose (25 mg) of VIAGRA. If you are taking protease inhibitors, such as for the treatment of HIV, your doctor may recommend a 25 mg dose and may limit you to a maximum single dose of 25 mg of VIAGRA in a 48 hour period. If you are taking alpha-blocker therapy, you should not take a dose of greater than 25 mg of VIAGRA at the same time (within 4 hours) as your dose of alpha-blocker. |
