The pros and cons of using viagra

Before we discuss the positive and negative effects of using a viagra, let us first determine the meaning of the termed viagra.

Viagra- is an oral drug for male impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction. Viagra has a great safety track record and proven effects that start acting in 30 minutes to 1 hour and last for about 4 hours.Viagra is trademark used for the drug sildenafil citrat;

Below are the discussions on the side effects of using viagra;

According to research,only few drugs work perfectly, and Viagra is no exception. Just about every drug has side effects including antibiotics that arise because the drug is flowing throughout the body and may affect parts of the body unintentionally.

Viagra users need to consult he doctor first before using the product.

Some of the affects of using viagra results to color blindness. Patient's eye may changed due to side effects of the drug. Highly technical jobs like pilots are not allowed to take viagra 12 hours prior to its flight.

Other problems with Viagra would result to headaches (the drug, as a side effect in some men, opens up arteries in the brain's lining and causes excess pressure) and big things like heart attacks. The is a great possibility of heart attacks on person who take viagra and is one reason why Viagra is a prescription drug rather than an over-the-counter drug like any other drug. A doctor must examine and understand patients medical history before giving the prescription in order andto make sure that Viagra won't cause a heart attack. Occasional patients who take Viagra because of long-lasting erections must see a doctor to solve the problem and not take viagra without doctor's advice.

Lastly, what makes it worst is that if there is some instance that some men, especially the young ones who take Viagra recreationally and who don't really need it for physical reasons, may end up with a dependency on the drug. As a result they may become unable to maintain an erection without taking Viagra.

On the contrary, viagra has positive effects if taken by women.

The effects of viagra to women are very interesting:

  • Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (or FSAD) found the effects of Viagra most beneficial. FSAD is defined as the inability to achieve or progress through the "normal" stages of sexual arousal.

    FSAD is often characterized by physical symptoms like lack of blood flow to the genitals and lack of natural lubrication.

  • The effects of Viagra on women who have Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (or HSDD) was minimal. HSDD is characterized by a total lack of interest, or an aversion to sexual overtures, stimulation and sexual activity.

    This suggests that women with FSAD, which is typified by physical symptoms, can be helped by taking Viagra. However, Viagra is unlikely to benefit women with HSDD, who are more likely to have an underlying emotional or psychological problem.

"Unresolved emotional or relational issues should be addressed before beginning medical therapies," Dr Berman and her colleagues noted.

Their report appears in the December 2003 issue of The Journal of Urology.
