4 common misunderstandings about men taking Viagra

Erectile dysfunction is a common disease among adult men. With the entry of Viagra into the Chinese market, it has relieved the pain of many patients. Experts point out that many people have many misunderstandings when using drugs. They should pay more attention when taking them to avoid causing harm to the body, which will also affect the effect. Is Viagra really effective for men?

Lack of time awareness when taking Viagra

Like other drugs, Viagra takes about 30-60 minutes to be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration, and its therapeutic effect lasts for more than 4 hours. The best time for sexual intercourse is 1-4 hours after taking the drug, but many patients have poor timing and this affects the efficacy of the treatment.

Not understanding possible side effects

Viagra has a mild vasodilatory effect on peripheral blood vessels. Sensitive patients (about 15%) may experience one-time facial flushing, mild headache, dizziness, nasal congestion or gastrointestinal reactions, which will not affect sexual life or cardiovascular function. If you do not understand the possible side effects, once mild side effects occur, if you feel nervous or anxious, it will affect the efficacy of the treatment.

Not understanding the contraindications of Viagra

If Viagra is taken at the same time as nitrate drugs (such as nitroglycerin, isoflavone, etc.), which are commonly used drugs for cardiovascular diseases, it may significantly lower blood pressure and cause cardiovascular risks. Therefore, patients who have recently taken nitrate drugs are strictly prohibited from using Viagra. In addition, sexual life itself consumes physical energy, so patients with cardiovascular diseases who are in the decompensation period of heart function or patients with moderate to severe cardiovascular diseases should not take Viagra and try to have sex.

Blindly seeking a cure for the disease: Viagra

It can only temporarily improve erectile function, but cannot cure ED. Therefore, patients can only take medicine to have sex when needed. In addition, "Viagra" is not 100% effective. The overall clinical effectiveness is about 80%. Patients with severe organic erectile dysfunction have severe damage to the structure of the cavernous body of the penis or the nerve function. These patients are not well treated with oral drugs and need surgery to implant an artificial erection device to be effective.
