Generic name: Sildenafil.
Brand names: Viagra, Revatio or Balcoga.
Available as a tablet, suspension and injection.
How to use it?
- Tablet or capsule: Just swallow it with half a glass of water.
- Suspension: first shake the bottle for 10 seconds. Then measure the correct amount with a dosing syringe or measuring cup and take the dose. Then rinse the dosing syringe or measuring cup with water and drink this water as well.
- Injection: your doctor or nurse will administer it to you.
How does it work?
Sildenafil is part of a group of drugs which inhibit the enzyme PDE-5. This enzyme is normally responsible for the breakdown of cGMP. cGMP is generated in the shaft of the penis through stimulation. When using Sildenafil the concentration of cGMP in the shaft is increased. This causes the smooth muscles in the penis to slacken, allowing it to fill with blood. Creating an erection.
cGMP also plays a role in the vascular system of your lungs. There is also relaxes the smooth muscles, resulting in vasodilation and decreasing the blood pressure.
What is the correct dosage?
The precise dose will depend on your specific indication of use, the side effect you might experience and the severity of your symptoms. Therefore always use the precise amount and frequency your doctor prescribed you.
- However, when treating erectile dysfunction, most doctors will start with an initial dose of 50 mg approximately 1 hour prior to sexual activity, no more than 1×/day. It is important to note, that this drug does require sexual activity in order to work properly. Based on the effectiveness you experience and your tolerance, the dose might be adjusted to 25 to max. 100 mg 1x/day.
- When treating pulmonary hypertension the usual dose is 20 mg 3×/day, to be taken at 6-8 hour intervals.

This medication n glaucoma is it ok to take with this condition, can it cause pressure in your eyes to increase
I take Sildenafil 20mg, three times a day for my hear/lung condition (PAH). My side effects are nasal congestion without mucus and red eyes. Oh, and I can't seem to roll out of bed like I used to
Im in my mid 60s , fit but on a number of medications, I take 50 mg , I find that does the job just fine with no unwanted side effects , a 100 mg gave me a headache and vision issues such as making bright colours seem very harsh, plus the stronger doses didn’t seem to work any better
Kan brugen af sildenafil medføre en sænkning af blodtrykket ?
I get nose bleeds, not all the time but every once in a while I do. Is that a bad side effect doc? And what should I do?
Where to get it please ?
Have you compared sildenafil and tadalafil?
I smoked weed n drank alcohol with a 100mg with no side affects. Only muscle ache likely from all night sexcercise
Right on.
Dang

Can we take 50gm tabs twice a day..Pls let me know..Thank you.
Yes you can
Is chewing Viagra without water has better affect than comparing take Viagra with water ?
there are chewable Viagra and there are regular ones too but I think it's better to take it with water.
Break it down and turn it to powder then mix it with water and swallow, the effect comes in just 15 minutes after intake
Where is the best place to order it from?
lol if you really gotta ask “where to order from” then you really don’t need it, you just want it and it’s not something you “order” anywhere.
I take heart meds! From having. A/fib! Thyroid and migraine meds! I’m thinking on trying Viagra !
My dr said it could cause blindness?
Yeah researchers have found out Viagra can cause permanently blindness how ever if you do really need it the higher the does the more side effects so you may be ok on 25mg
Thanks for this information- Is 50 mg the correct average dose? I understand it comes in 20 mg. Would 20 mg be effective, or is 50 the more recommended dose? thank you-
20 works for me
My Dr Gave me 100mg cause price is same per pill if 25 50 or 100 told me cut in half take 50...I cut in quarters and still gives a boost just not as effective for me as 50 but def less stuffy nose side effect.
No one can answer that for you not even the dr cos the only way you would no is by taking it and seeing what happens it may work it may not
If you really don’t have ED , can you use it for PE ?
yes just be careful cause it can generate psychological dependence
Thats good to know
@@leo0117yu are right,it feels like I can't do without it,even though I have no ED,everytime I have a match,I always go for it,but what I now do in order to let my system depend so much on it,I do cut a single tablet of 100mg into 4 pieces and take each part each time
I took a 200mg dose tablet at 8pm yesterday and was tired so didnt sexy time. Its 9am, can i take again so i can have sexy time?
200 is a lot! And please only take an dosis in a 24 hour period
@@dethmerwillems5439 ya it was actually 250mg. Found out regular amount is 20-100mg. Smh. Definitely didn't need it the next day. Was still working.
Can I start with 25mg? It’s my first time.
Did you started bro how does it affect?
@@prince.0502 well honesty, there was mild effect in my observation and a little of clogged nose as side effect.
I took sildenafil 20mg on Friday and it's Sunday today and I still feel the effect after being aroused. Is this normal? I don't have a Priapism. But it gets hard when aroused which isn't a normal behavior for me? Does that mean the effect of the sildenafil is still in my blood after 2 days of consuming? Is it normal?
It works fine that’s what’s suppose to happen
Sounds normal and beneficial 😃. Drugs stay in our body for a few hours to days.
@@user-dt8fg1bq7x what about 30? How do I cut it down to 20 to be safe and have the same effect? I’m trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone if ya get my drift
Don't drink alcohol
Just out of curiosity can women take this or any such pill for women?

Hi doc! -will it work for women?
The short answer is no
The rocks 😂😂
What if your very active in the bedroom these aren’t cheap to buy
Shop around, different pharmacies have different contractual prices. Also, stick with the generic, still works and is sooo much cheaper. I work in retail pharmacy and have seen men pick up a 30 day supply for under 20/30$ w/o insurance (since insurance doesn’t usually cover this.)
With my insurance plan and generic it cost me like 1.27 for 10 100mg pills that my Dr told me to cut in half so basicly 20x a month....but can quarter them if dont need the 50 so it's dirt cheap if have insurance plan and get generic.
Can you take this if you smoke weed?
Yeah it ain't gonna harm im a stoner too
Bro I smoke hash and I’ll likely be tipsy on the night but I just want to use it ONCE. Will I be ok?
@@flawlessvictory2298i took it cross faded , worked even better bro. go for it
What is the difference in viagra and Cialis and is one better than the other?

@@frankmayers1738 I work in pharmacy and have seen men pick up 30 days supplies of the generic, Sildenafil, for under 30$. That new ForHim website is advertising 24.99 a month but I don’t know if that’s “real” sildenafil so I’d recommend going through a MD and pharmacy.
@@PAVEL-JAKL. Guess you are not British 🇬🇧😂😂😂😂😂
It's ototoxic! !
Too much headaches
I've been taking 200mg before watching this video and now I'm thinking 100mg or 1 tablet won't work
You have made your body system get used to 200mg,so it will be difficult to readjust,what I will advice,next time,try and cut the tablet into 3 pieces and take one part each time,that way your body reduces its dependence of it and it's long term effect will be cushioned
@@austinelankazeku184 you say cut the tablet into 3, your talking about the second tablet right?
Doesn’t that have you spend alot of money.? Taking that much
What kind of side effects do you get for life for this product just one time in your life?
Amazing thanks, I just realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's crazy! Although what he previously talked about was pretty decent, it was difficult to follow, I just go'ogled the latest in Mario’s Thunderous Erections, it's so much faster and lasting now!
I don’t smoke! It’s not healthy for me our bodies! Don’t drink ! I’m pretty lean! Lift weights everyday! I’m reaching 56! In June! Yes at times I do struggle with my erectien
Why in the world would a woman take this? I don’t drink or smoke
Nice visual aids.😂
Is there a pill that can trigger off sex desire ? let's say when one partner is sick and the other partner doesn't want to feel horny..or maybe a company that recommends this type of medication to avoide sex assaults during work hours?
