Viagra, initially introduced by Pfizer in 1996, is the original remedy for erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It was the first FDA-approved treatment for ED and has remained widely used, competing primarily with Cialis. In Canada, over 3 million men aged 40 and above are estimated to suffer from ED. Viagra functions rapidly, relaxing smooth muscles to boost blood flow to the penis, enabling and maintaining an erection. This enhanced circulation results in a stronger and more sustainable erection.
As a PED5 inhibitor, Viagra doesn’t independently trigger an erection; sexual stimulation is necessary. It doesn’t affect libido, relying on genuine sexual arousal for effectiveness. Viagra targets insufficient blood flow as the primary cause of ED. However, if hormonal imbalance underlies the issue, alternative treatments may be necessary.
Viagra and Cialis differ notably in their duration within the body. Viagra’s effects last about 4-6 hours, acting faster than Cialis. Additional doses may be needed depending on individual needs due to its approximate 6-hour duration. It’s recommended to take Viagra approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity.
A crucial point: Viagra doesn’t safeguard against sexually transmitted diseases (e.g., HIV, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, syphilis). Alternative protection methods like latex condoms are advisable to prevent pregnancy and STD transmission.
