With the emergence and ever growing popularity of vitamin C supplements and serums, it’s only a matter of time before the “clear pill” arrives on the scene. And when it does, it will likely affect the way prescriptions are written.
Indeed, the first “clear pill” was actually blue in color because of the ingredient levacetylacetate (the chemical compound is actually colorless). When taken orally, this ingredient is rapidly broken down by the body to the more familiar form of vitamin C. As a result, the pill had a bluish tint. Today, all clear pills are, in fact, white in color because there are no longer any legal reasons for them to be colored. They are simply made to look that way so that patients taking them do not confuse them with any other kind of pill.
The History Of Viagra
As mentioned, the first “clear pill” was introduced in the 1960s, initially under the brand name Astrin and then later rebranded as Viagra. Back in the day, before the existence of approved vitamin C serums and supplements, doctors had to prescribe this original version of the drug to their patients. Given its popularity and effectiveness, it’s not difficult to see how this humble little drug changed the face of medicine. It all started way back in the 1950s when Swedish scientist, Ulf von Ahrnschitz, stumbled upon the active ingredient in the bark of the willow tree, which is Vitamin C.
Since then, Viagra has gone on to become one of the most popular and well-known drugs in existence. It was originally approved in the U.S. in 1998 and is now available all over the world. In 2016, it was the 32nd most prescribed medication in the U.S., with nearly 6 million prescriptions written annually. That’s good for a 31% increase in just 7 years. In 2017, it was the 34th most prescribed medication, with 6.3 million prescriptions written annually. Interestingly, although it is a very commonly prescribed drug, few people actually know much about it. This article is an attempt to shed some light on it.
How Much Does Viagra Cost?
As mentioned, although millions of prescriptions are written annually, most people do not know much about Viagra. Indeed, its cost is often seen as a significant barrier to entry for many people. It can still be rather expensive to purchase direct from a pharmaceutical company. In fact, the price is rather high when compared to other medications. It currently costs a fortune to purchase direct from the manufacturer. And, since it’s mainly purchased as a remedy for medical issues, insurance may not cover the cost. It can also be difficult to find a good deal if you’re seeking it off-label.
The Side Effects Of Viagra
Since Viagra was approved for pharmaceutical use in the United States in 1998, thousands of people have experienced some sort of side effect. These are all very rare, but they still exist. The most common side effect is headaches. Some people experience dizziness or nausea as well, though these are generally mild. In rare instances, some patients have experienced strokes or heart attacks. From what we know, the vast majority of these side effects are due to excessive alcohol consumption in combination with taking the drug. This is why Viagra black box warnings include a warning against drinking alcohol while taking the medication.
What Is The Recommended Dosage?
The recommended dosage for Viagra is one 100mg pill taken orally every day. The suggested start-up dose is one 50mg pill followed by a 50mg dose after 4 hours. However, this is not a strict rule and the doctor may suggest a different dosage or an increased frequency of dosing based on an individual’s health status.
Is It Safe To Take With Other Medications?
Although most people think of Viagra when it comes to sexual health and well-being, in actuality the drug is not completely risk-free. If you’re already taking other medications, it’s imperative that you consult with your doctor before you start taking the drug. Some medications can interact with vitamin C, causing potentially fatal side effects. Examples of these are trimethoprim and nifedipine. One should not take Vitamin C supplements along with these two medications, as there is a chance that the combination could be toxic. Fortunately, the dangers associated with this combination are almost zero in today’s world. This is because most doctors do not prescribe these two medications together anymore due to their extreme interactions. However, it’s still a good idea to check with one’s doctor before taking any supplements, especially if one is already taking medications for other conditions.
When Will Viagra Be Available As a Spray?
Although it was originally available as a pill, in the last few years, scientists and pharmaceutical companies have been working hard to develop alternative forms of delivery for medications that are difficult to digest or absorb when taken orally. One of these is the spray. We know that most people, especially those suffering from ED, find it difficult to engage in sexual activity if they are unable to obtain or maintain an erection. As a result, researchers have been working hard to develop a form of delivery that would allow for easier absorption and, thus, have a more positive effect. So far, this effort has resulted in a successful trial utilizing a nitric oxide-releasing oral spray. The results of this trial were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in March of 2018. This medication has recently been approved for sales in the U.S., so it will soon be available for purchase online, at least in those states where it has been approved for sale.
What Forms Does Viagra Come In?
As mentioned, Viagra is available in many different forms, including tablets, oral solutions, and even a gel that can be applied directly to the penis before sex. In many places, including the U.S., it is available only by prescription. However, some customers have reported having some luck finding it online, as it is rather difficult to purchase in large quantities from legitimate companies.
When Will Viagra Be Available As A Sublingual Spray?
Sublingual spray is a type of medication that is absorbed under the tongue. It gets quickly absorbed and, as a result, has a much quicker effect. It has fewer side effects than oral medications and is also less likely to cause digestion problems. In addition, it does not require a doctor’s approval before being purchased, as it is generally available over the counter. This is why it is becoming so popular as a form of medication for seniors, who may have problems swallowing tablets or gel capsules. However, as mentioned, Viagra is already available in a form that is easily absorbed under the tongue, so it is likely that this will become the standard form of medication for this drug. Fortunately, since it is a prescription-only item, it is not easy for unauthorized individuals to purchase. In addition, all pharmacies are legally required to have a valid prescription before they can fill a spray order.
Where Can I Purchase Viagra?
Although it is available legally only by prescription in the U.S., in other countries, it is sold over the counter as a treatment for a number of conditions. As mentioned, it was originally approved for use in the country of Sweden as a treatment for osteoarthritis. Today, it is approved in many other countries, including Japan and South Korea, for use in treating ED. In addition, it is becoming a very popular treatment for people suffering from AIDS in some parts of the world. In 2016, for example, almost 600,000 individuals in the U.S. were reported to be taking the drug. That’s more than 7% of the population. While it might not seem like a big percentage, bear in mind that this figure is just for the U.S. Many more people are taking it overseas, as it is generally affordable and easier to obtain. In 2017, it was the 17th most prescribed medication in the U.S., with more than 4.9 million prescriptions. One could easily assume that this is because more and more people are learning about the drug’s various health benefits and becoming interested in trying it for themselves.
