Viagra (sildenafil) is efficient for the treatment of erectile dysfunction – a condition that prevents you from having a normal sex life. Viagra will not cause you to have an instant erection unlike commonly thought. You will need to be sexually aroused before you can get an erection and have sex. Your doctor must know your full medical history if that’s possible. Such health conditions as heart, kidney, or liver disease, eye disease, high cholesterol, chest pain, bleeding disorder, blood cell problems, high or low blood pressure, conditions affecting the shape of the penis, heart attack, blood circulation problems stomach ulcer, stroke, irregular heartbeat, and pulmonary veno-occlusive disease should be reported before you are given a prescription to make sure you are not required any additional tests to evaluate the efficiency and safety of Viagra for you. Some of the side effects patients taking Viagra report include heartburn, headache, nosebleeds, diarrhea, insomnia, muscle aches, changes in color vision, burning or tingling in your arms, feet or hands, flushing and light sensitivity. In case these side effects begin to bother you, they should be reported to your health care provider. Viagra does not cure sexual dysfunction. It is a treatment that needs to be used as long as you need it. When you stop taking this medicine the effects of Viagra will no longer be felt. Do not share this medicine with other people to whom it was not prescribed even if you think they have the same symptoms as you and may benefit from Viagra as well.
