Sildenafil Factfile
Sildenafil is the generic name for the active ingredient in Viagra. Sildenafil is used in impotence and erectile dysfunction therapy because it enhances increases blood flow to the penis. In tests, Viagra worked for about 80% of those tested. This effectiveness was proved in clinical studies of thousands of patients. However, if you have no desire for sex, Sildenafil will not help you. Sildenafil works with the body's natural processes, so it needs both desire and sexual stimulation. Sildenafil works best when there is some foreplay between the partners prior to sexual intercourse. Usually, stroking the penis is all that is necessary.
Typical sildenafil dosage is 50 mg, but you will save considerably if you buy 100mg Viagra pills and split them. Usually, it is best to start Sildenafil therapy with the minimum dosage of 25 mg and increase if necessary. Never take more than 100mg of Sildenafil in one dose.
You should consider using the longer lasting Tadalafil or Vardenafil.
It can take from 30 minutes to 2 hours for Sildenafil to take effect. So you should take Sildenafil one hour before sex. However, Sildenafil can take considerably longer to take effect if consumed with a large meal.
Sildenafil is manufactured in India by major pharmaceutical companies like Ranbaxy, Cipla, Sun, and Ajanta. Indian patent law is different from US and EU law. Pharmacies can legally make sildenafil in India where it is manufactured by the nation's biggest pharmaceutical manufacturers in ISO-regulated plants to World Health Organisation standards.
Like most medicine, sildenafil can have side effects. Generic Viagra side effects include headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach. Sildenafil may also cause bluish or blurred vision, or sensitivity to light. If Viagra side-effects trouble you, Cialis or Levitra may be recommended.
If you take any nitrate medications (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate), you should NOT take Sildenafil.
