This FAQ is for information only, and has been
compiled from a number of sources to give an overview of
the use and effects of Viagra. It is not a definitive guide
to the effects or implications of use of Viagra, nor is
it intended replace the advice of qualified healthcare professionals.
If you have any concerns about the use of Viagra or any
possible side-effects, consult your healthcare provider.
What
is Viagra? Viagra treats male
erectile dysfunction or ED, often called impotence. You
take the pill only when you want to have sex. Viagra can
help many men who have ED get and keep an erection when
they become sexually stimulated, either physically or visually.
How
does viagra work? Viagra enables
many men with erectile dysfunction to respond to sexual
stimulation. When a man is sexually aroused, the arteries
in the penis relax and widen, allowing more blood to flow
into the penis. As the arteries in the penis expand and
harden, the veins that normally carry blood away from the
penis become compressed, restricting the blood flow out
of the penis. With more blood flowing in and less flowing
out, the penis enlarges, resulting in an erection.
If the nerves or blood vessels associated with
this process aren't working properly, a man may not be able
to get an erection. Viagra increases blood flow to the penis,
so that when a man is sexually aroused, he can get and keep
an erection. When the sexual encounter is over, the erection
goes away.
How
effective is Viagra? Viagra
improves erections in up to 4 of 5 men compared to 1 out
of 4 who took a placebo.
Will
Viagra work immediately? Viagra
is effective in as little as 30 minutes and stays effective
for up to 4 hours.
Does
Viagra automatically cause an erection? No.
With Viagra, you must be sexually aroused to get an erection.
It is not an aphrodisiac. It's a prescription medication
that can improve erectile function of most men with erection
problems.
How
much viagra can I take? Viagra
comes in different doses (25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg). Like
many medicines, your healthcare provider may have to adjust
your initial Viagra dose if it doesn't produce the desired
results or you're bothered by side effects. Do not take
more Viagra than your healthcare provider prescribes. Viagra
can be used up to once a day as needed.
If you are older than 65 years, have a serious liver or
kidney problem, or are taking protease inhibitors, such
as for the treatment of HIV, your healthcare provider may
start you at the lowest (25-mg) dose of Viagra.
How
often can I take viagra? For most patients,
Viagra should be taken once a day as needed. In patients
taking certain protease inhibitors (such as for the treatment
of HIV), it is recommended to not exceed a maximum single
dose of 25 mg of Viagra in a 48-hour period.
Can
I cut my viagra pills in half? They are
not designed to be cut in half. Half a tablet may not be
effective. Cutting pills in half is not recommended.
Who
should not take Viagra? Viagra
is only for patients with ED. Viagra is not prescribed for
women. Do not let anyone else take your Viagra. Viagra must
be used only on prescription.
Before you start any treatment
with Viagra, be sure to ask your healthcare provider if
your heart is healthy enough. If you use nitrate drugs for
heart conditions, like nitroglycerine, never take Viagra.
The combination of Viagra and nitrates can make your blood
pressure suddenly drop to unsafe levels. You could get dizzy,
faint, or even have a heart attack or stroke. Nitrates are
found in many prescription medications that are used to
treat angina (chest pain due to heart disease) such as:
- Nitroglycerin
(sprays, ointments, skin patches or pastes, and tablets
that are swallowed or dissolved in the mouth)
- Isosorbide
mononitrate and isosorbide dinitrate (tablets that are
swallowed, chewed, or dissolved in the mouth)
- Nitrates
are also found in recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate
or nitrite ("poppers"). If you are not sure if any of
your medications contain nitrates, or if you do not understand
what nitrates are, ask your healthcare provider.
What
if Viagra doesn't work? While
Viagra is effective in up to 4 of 5 men, it's not effective
for everyone. If it doesn't work for you, contact your healthcare
provider to discuss other treatment options.
Can
I take Viagra with alcohol? Drinking
alcohol can temporarily impair the ability to get an erection.
To get the maximum benefit from your medication, you are
advised not to drink large amounts of alcohol before taking
Viagra.
Can
I take Viagra after eating? Yes,
but taking Viagra after a high-fat meal may cause the medication
to take a little longer to start working.
What
are the side effects of Viagra? Like
all medications, Viagra can cause some side effects. These
are usually mild and don't last longer than a few hours.
Some of these side effects are more likely to occur with
higher doses of Viagra. With Viagra, the most common side
effects are headache, facial flushing, and upset stomach.
Viagra may also briefly cause bluish or blurred vision or
sensitivity to light. In the rare event of an erection lasting
more than 4 hours, seek medical help.
If
I take Viagra, will I get an erection right away?
After a man takes Viagra, he still must be sexually
stimulated for it to work.
Will
Viagra make me have an erection for hours?
Viagra works by helping you get an erection
in response to sexual stimulation. Once a man takes Viagra
and has sex, his erection will go away after intercourse,
just like it would normally. Viagra takes about 30 minutes
before it's ready to work, and remains ready to work for
about 4 hours after that. Take your time and go at your
own pace. In the event of an erection lasting more than
4 hours, see your doctor.
I
don't get erectile dysfunction often. Does this mean that
Viagra isn't for me? Even if
it happens infrequently, it's still erectile dysfunction.
Most men with erectile dysfunction have it just some of
the time.
I
tried Viagra once, but it didn't work. Does this mean it's
not for me? You might need to
try Viagra several times to get it right for you. You may
also need to change your dose.
What
if I haven't had sex in a while? Because
sexual activity can be demanding on the heart, doctors sometimes
determine that for men with certain heart conditions, sex
is not recommended, with or without medication for erectile
dysfunction. Patients who are in poor cardiovascular health
should talk to their doctor before engaging in any strenuous
activity. If you are not sure of your cardiovascular health,
talk to your healthcare provider.
