On a busy street in downtown Chicago, there is a drugstore. It is a small store with just a few aisles and a few products on display. It does not offer a large variety of healthcare products, but it is the kind of place you might find what you’re looking for if you don’t want to go too far from home for an appointment or prescription.
This store is a Minute Clinic, and it offers all the common medications and supplements you would likely find there. But in addition to these products, the Minute Clinic also offers a special service for men who have erectile dysfunction (ED).
Specifically, the Minute Clinic offers Viagra. It is the best-selling drugmaker’s blockbuster ED drug. And given its popularity, it’s not hard to understand why. When you’re in pharmaceuticals heaven, it’s only natural to want to visit as often as possible.
How Does Viagra Work?
Viagra is a drug that works in a similar way to one of its biggest competitors, Cialis. But instead of being aimed at treating ED, Viagra is usually prescribed for men who have had a heart attack and are suffering from angina pectoris (chest pains).
Viagra’s active ingredient, Sildenafil, works by inhibiting a certain type of enzyme called phosphodiesterase (PDE). PDE breaks down the neurotransmitter nitric oxide, which contributes to the relaxation of the blood vessels in your body. When this happens, blood flows more easily throughout your body, which in turn improves your sexual performance. So basically, Sildenafil acts as a vasodilator, which helps to increase blood flow throughout your body. Hence the common name, ‘Viagra’.
Why Should You Try Viagra For ED?
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know how I feel about ED medication. I’ve written about my personal experiences with ED medication, and I don’t promote nor discourage the use of any particular ED drug. But what I do want to share with you is why I think men should try Viagra for ED. And to do that, let’s start with a few facts.
First of all, Viagra is extremely effective for men with ED. In fact, studies have shown that a small dose of Viagra can boost your overall sexual performance, especially in situations where you might feel inhibited (for example, with a new partner or during foreplay).
When it comes to treating ED, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Different men have different problems, and as a result, different solutions. That’s why it’s always preferable to consult with a healthcare professional to find out what’s the best treatment for your specific case. But for those who are looking for a quick fix, Viagra is a great choice, especially if they’ve tried and failed with other ED medications.
The Evidence Supporting Viagra’s Effectiveness For ED
The most well-known and trusted source for drug information is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has approved Viagra for the treatment of ED, and as a result, it has assigned the drug a Purple Ribbon Health Product. The FDA defines a Purple Ribbon Health Product as a drug or medical device that has demonstrated effectiveness and has shown to improve patient health when compared to existing treatments. So basically, the FDA has said that Viagra is effective for ED and worthy of further study.
Another great advantage of Viagra for ED is that it is relatively inexpensive. A single 20mg dose usually costs around $10 to $20. And while a few other ED medications, such as Cialis, have similar pricing structures, most of them are quite a bit more expensive. For example, a 20mg pill of Cialis can cost up to $60 or more. So not only is Viagra a more affordable option, it’s also a great one.
How Long Does It Take For Viagra To Work?
The amount of time it takes for Viagra to take effect varies from person to person. But for those who are experiencing ED, it usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes for the drug to start working. Sooner or later, you’ll start to feel the relaxing effects of Sildenafil, and your ability to have an erection will be restored. But it depends on a variety of factors, so you should not expect to feel the effects of a single dose right away.
Just to give you an idea of how quickly Viagra can work, here is a little experiment that demonstrates how quickly and effectively it can boost your sex life. Open up your minute clinic today, and you might just run into one of these little experiments. So let’s get started.
The Experimental Evidence: A Quick How-to Guide For Those Who’ve Never Dosed Before
For those who’ve never tried Viagra before, the trick is to take the drug at a different time of day. Many men with ED find that a high-quality sex pill works best when taken at the same time each day, around the same time the medication was administered at night. Some evidence suggests that taking Viagra at the same time each day might also improve the effectiveness of the drug. So if you want to try it, take it at the same time each day, in the same manner as your regular medications. If you start to feel the effects of the drug too quickly, you might experience some side effects. However, these are mostly minor and go away once you continue to take the medication. Inexperienced users of Viagra should still avoid grapefruit juice while taking the drug, as it has been shown to reduce the effect of Sildenafil in some cases. Nevertheless, grapefruit is among the safer choices when it comes to dietary supplements, so for those who are less concerned about adverse reactions, grapefruit is a perfectly acceptable option.
Things To Remember While Using Viagra
While Viagra has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of ED, there are still some things you need to remember while using the drug. First off, the inactive ingredients in Viagra might cause some side effects in some individuals. The most common complaints from people who’ve taken Viagra relate to headaches, diarrhea, and upset stomach. If you experience any unexpected reactions, stop taking the drug and consult with your doctor right away.
Secondly, even though Viagra is extremely effective for those who’ve had a heart attack and are suffering from angina pectoris, it is still not a panacea. As I’ve already established, different men have different problems when it comes to ED, and therefore, different solutions. If you’ve tried and failed with other ED drugs, and you’re not sure whether or not Viagra will help you, then I’d suggest you stay away from the drug. There’s also the option of trying a complementary therapy, such as sound healing or herbal remedies. And if none of these options sound good to you, then you should consider asking your doctor about prescription medication, as there are some great options out there that can help to improve your overall sexual health and well-being. Just remember, always consult with your doctor before taking any medication, especially if you’re not sure about the drug’s effectiveness or whether or not it’s right for you.
