So you’re interested in trying Viagra? Good for you! The drug has been a long time in the making and has finally been designed for recreational use – though its original purpose was to treat angina pectoris (a type of heart disease). If you’re looking for a way to boost your sexual performance or just want to be able to last longer during sex, then you may be interested in trying Viagra. Just make sure that you’re aware of any potential side effects before taking the drug. Here’s how to use Viagra successfully.
Know Your Product
Viagra is a form of medication known as a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5 inhibitor). It was originally developed to treat angina pectoris, but has been found to have properties that allow it to improve erectile dysfunction (commonly known as impotence) and also be used for treating premature ejaculation. Before you take any medication, it’s important to fully understand what it is and what it does. Start by reading the package insert that came with your medication – this will usually have more information than you might want to know about the drug, including any warnings and side effects. As for the dosage, many doctors will advise that you start out with a low dose and then slowly increase it until you find the right combo.
Take It At The Right Time
Remember: Viagra can only help you if you take it at the right time. If you are planning to have sex or going to bed with a partner, then you should take it at least an hour before you lay down with them. This is to allow enough time for the drug to take effect and to minimize the chance of either of you being influenced by alcohol or drugs. Taking it too soon may cause you to feel dizzy or nauseous – or even led to an erection that isn’t medical in nature. However, if you are still feeling energetic even though it is late at night, then taking it shortly before you go to sleep may cause sleepless nights due to the increased stimulant effect it has at night. This may lead to serious health problems, so it’s important to be aware of when is the best time to take medication.
Be Careful At What You Eat
Unlike most medications, Viagra is most effective when taken on an empty stomach. If you’re planning to take it at night, then eat a small meal before you go to bed. This will prevent you from experiencing any unwanted side effects due to a lack of nutrition. It’s also important to stay hydrated, so make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you are already drinking the recommended eight glasses of water per day, then there is no need to increase your intake, as your body will already be absorbing what it needs. However, if you are not drinking enough fluids, then try increasing your intake of water to at least 12 glasses per day. This may help you avoid any health problems related to dehydration, which may in turn cause you to have low blood pressure and even fainting spells. If you are taking medication for hypertension (high blood pressure), then you must stick to a strict medication regime and avoid dehydration as much as possible. Your doctor may also prescribe you with fluids if he feels that you are not drinking enough liquid and are at risk of dehydration.
Start Out Small
Most doctors will advise that you start out with a low dose of Viagra and increase it gradually until you find the right combo. Doing this can help you avoid any unpleasant side effects and give you the best chance of experiencing its full effects. It’s also important to start out slowly when increasing your dosage, as too many dosages all at once may cause you to have undesired effects due to an overdose. When starting out, it’s best to slowly increase your dosage every other day or once per week until you reach your optimum dose level. At this point, you can slowly reduce your dosage and continue on with a lesser dose once or twice per week. If you start out with too high a dose or increase it too quickly, then you may experience the following side effects:
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Dry mouth
- Constipation
- Heartburn
- Indigestion
- Backache
- Diarrhea
- Muscle pain
- Breathlessness
- Weakness
- Rash
- Fainting
- Erection disorder
- Uncontrollable trembling
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Heartburn
- Indigestion
Use Other Medication
If you are already taking medications for other health problems, then you must ask your doctor about combining them with Viagra. Some medications that may work well with Viagra include:
- Lansoprazole (Prevacid)
- Mizolastine (Ajanta)
- Tolmetamine (Ametizole)
- Amiodarone (Cordarone)
However, if you are not feeling any improvement with these combinations, then it may be time to try a different medication or approach. Your doctor may also have additional suggestions for you.
Just remember: The key to using any medication safely is to follow the instructions your doctor gives you. If you are unsure of what to do, ask your doctor for help or read the package insert thoroughly. If you are still wondering and concerned about potential side effects after reading the instructions, then don’t take the medication. There are safer alternatives that may work just as well. If you are doing everything correctly, then there is no reason to worry about side effects.
Get Supportive Friends
One of the things that may help ensure you have a good experience with Viagra is having supportive friends or family members. If you are having trouble sleeping, then perhaps a buddy or a family member could help you out. You can also ask your doctor for suggestions on who to talk to, as he may know of other health professionals who can help. Finally, don’t hesitate to reach out to your local sexual health clinic if you’re feeling overwhelmed – they may be able to offer you some helpful tips or even prescribe you with the medication you need. Above all, make sure you feel comfortable talking to whoever you need to talk to – there is no shame in admitting you’re struggling when there is help available.
Know The Score
When you are taking medication, it is very important to understand that there are multiple things that you need to keep in mind. First and foremost, you must obey the instructions your doctor gives you – this includes taking your medication at the correct time and for the right duration. As for the dosage, most doctors will advise that you start out with a low dose and then slowly increase it until you find the right combo. Remember: too many dosages all at once may cause you to have undesired effects due to an overdose. Additionally, make sure you are physically prepared for safer sex techniques – if you aren’t than you may end up doing more harm than good. While it is important to open up to your doctor about your sexual problems, it is also equally important to be safe – this means using condoms and practicing safer sex techniques. Finally, don’t expect medication to fix all your problems – it may take some time to find the right combination of medications that work best for you. In the meantime, be sure to read about other remedies that may also help.
Last but not least, don’t be afraid to try different medications or approaches if they work well for you. Just because a medication didn’t work for you doesn’t mean that it’s a bad option – there are many medications that may help you, it’s just a matter of finding the right one for you.
