It’s been almost 25 years since the arrival of Viagra, and since then the erectile dysfunction drug has become an integral part of our daily lives.
The drug was first approved for medical use in the 1990s and ever since then things have changed. Back then, getting Viagra was easier than getting an erection; now that can be complicated by factors ranging from age to health concerns. But while the drug may no longer be a revelation, that doesn’t mean that our expectations for it have softened.
Here’s what you should expect when your Viagra patent runs out.
Price Increases And Unlimited Availability
The first thing you’ll notice if your Viagra patent runs out is that the price will go up – a lot.
Viagra is still one of the most popular erectile dysfunction drugs in the world, and as a result there are a lot of manufacturers who want to get their hands on the pharmacological compound that makes it so effective.
The generic version of Viagra, sildenafil, has been around for a while and already seen price increases of its own due to heightened demand and limited supplies. With patent protection finally ending for the drug in the summer of 2020, the prices will only continue to go up.
With the limited distribution of Viagra, those who need it for medical reasons may find it more difficult to get their hands on the drug, and it’s predicted that as a result there will be an increased amount of sexual crime because those who can’t get a medically-needed erection will be forced into uncomfortable situations just to get their fix.
New Opportunities For Improving Erections
Even if you don’t mind paying more for Viagra, you’ll still benefit from the arrival of the generic version as there are a number of opportunities to improve upon the classic blue tablet. Specifically, scientists are working hard to develop oral and topical forms of the drug that are more effective and have fewer side effects than the original. But until then, what can you do to improve your erection quality without medication?
The first step is to focus on your mental attitude. You need to believe that you can achieve a hard-on and that it’s possible to keep it that way. If you’ve been told over and over that you can’t, how can you expect to be able to?
The human body is a remarkable thing, and despite the obstacles that erectile dysfunction can put in the way, it is still able to achieve orgasms. The trick is in recognizing that you may not be able to accomplish something, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t even try.
Along with a positive mental attitude, the next step is to focus on your diet. What you eat affects your erections, and what you eat that is rich in antioxidants and nutrients helps promote good blood circulation in the penis which in turn helps with erections. Foods such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and dark chocolate all contain natural substances known to improve erections. Additionally, nuts and seeds such as almonds, walnuts and pecans have been shown in studies to have a positive effect on male fertility and overall health. Finally, coffee has been shown to increase blood flow to the penis, which again, helps with erections.
New Directions For Research
With the arrival of the generic version of Viagra there is also the opportunity for a new direction for research. Currently, the majority of studies on the drug focus on how and when it is used therapeutically, with less attention given to how effective it is and how long it stays in your system. With the introduction of generic Viagra, the opportunity arises to focus more on the latter.
This could lead to breakthroughs in our understanding of erectile dysfunction and also have implications on how we look at and treat this problem in the future. We already know that erectile dysfunction increases with age, and as a result there is a greater focus on developing treatments for older men. But given the side effects and limited effectiveness of some current treatments, there is also a search for new solutions. One potential option is stem cell therapy. Stem cells are the body’s master cells, and as such have the ability to become any sort of cell in the body. Stem cell therapy offers the possibility of creating new and better cells to replace worn or damaged ones. Scientists have shown that stem cells can be used to treat a number of illnesses and disorders including erectile dysfunction. Stem cell therapy is still in the early stages of development, but given its potential to be a new, more effective treatment for erectile dysfunction it will no doubt make its appearance on the market soon enough.
A Different Perspective On The Importance Of Penises
Viagra’s arrival also brings with it a different perspective on the importance of penises. Traditionally, men have been raised to believe that their penises are some kind of god-given gift, one that they are born with and one that can never be altered. This perspective can lead to significant amounts of sexual anxiety and frustration for men throughout their lifetimes. But thanks to advancements in medicine and technology, the world now knows that every man can change the way he feels about his penis and the role it plays in sexual pleasure.
Penises are simply a part of a man’s body that he needs to take care of and respect just like any other part of the body. This means that as men get older they need to pay closer attention to how they eat, how they sleep and how they care for their bodies. The difference is that now they have the ability to alter these things and in turn change the way they feel about their bodies and their sex lives. While there is still a long way to go before everyone feels comfortable enough in their own skin to change the way they look at sex and sexual encounters, the fact that now it’s possible gives men hope that one day they may be able to live happily ever after.
With the advent of Viagra, there are also new opportunities to change the way we look at this complicated subject. Thanks to technology, the world is now a smaller place and it’s easier to access information than ever before. As a result, those who may be suffering in silence can now find the help and support they need, and in turn change their lives for the better.
