 The characteristic blue pill of Viagra is not the only medicinal form. This medication is available  

under its generic name sildenafil in tablet, liquid, and injectable form. The most important  

thing is to make sure you obtain this medication from your doctor or a reputable pharmacist. Do  

not buy this medication from unauthorised online pharmacies. This is because counterfeits exist,  

and you do not know what you are taking.

How to take Viagra? 

 

Once you have obtained your medication from a reputable source,  

you'll want to know; how and when should I take my Viagra to get the best effects? 

Viagra, and its generic sildenafil counterparts, take around 30-60 min to take effect.  

 

The medication can be taken up to 4 hours before sex and still be just as effective. 

It is advisable to take it on an empty stomach with a glass of water. Having a heavy meal  

beforehand can result in Viagra or sildenafil taking longer to work. It's ok to drink alcohol  

alongside this medication but be aware alcohol can make achieving an erection more difficult. 

Importantly, taking Viagra won't just give you an erection. You need to get into the  

mood for an erection to develop.

 

How long do the effects last?

  

With this medication, you can achieve an erection between 1 and 4 hours after ingestion. Erections  

should go away after sex naturally.

 

Are there any side effects? 

Some rare but concerning side effects can occur. If they do, please seek immediate  

medical assessment.

• Priapism 

o If your erection lasts more than 4 hours and won't go away, you have priapism. Sometimes  

priapism can be painful. Importantly, if left un-treated, priapism, can cause long-lasting  

damage to your penis.

• Chest Pain 

o This may occur during sex or at rest.

• Sudden decrease or loss of vision  in one or both eyes

o This can indicate  a serious eye problem called non-arteritic 

anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). 

• Sudden hearing decrease or hearing loss.

o You may even experience ringing in the ears  (tinnitus) or dizziness.

• Seizures 

• Allergic reaction

• Severe Skin reaction 

 

o This may manifest as a rash or swelling within the skin, blistering of mucous  

membranes such as your mouth, eyes, and genitals. Some may also experience a fever.

abdominal pain, and diarrhoea

common side effects, consider discussing them with your doctor or pharmacist.

  

Why has my medication not worked?

Sildenafil, or Viagra, may not work  

for everybody, so please speak with your doctor.Sometimes the medication doesn’t work because: 

• The current dose you are taking isn't correct for you 

• You haven’t waited long enough, or you waited too long for the medication to work 

• You haven't become sexually aroused.

 

There are alternative medications available  

 

for erectile dysfunction including:

• tadalafil (Cialis) 

• avanafil (Spedra)

• vardenafil (Levitra) 

 

If Viagra, or sildenafil, wasn't effective for you speak to your doctor about these alternatives.

I’ve seen claims of natural or herbal Viagra, are these safe?

  

Many medications claim to be herbal or natural alternatives to Viagra. These medications are  

not rigorously tested and are therefore not licenced for use with erectile dysfunction. 

Additionally, the contents of these may be unsafe for consumption, you don’t know what you could be  

taking. So please do not take anything that’s not approved by a licenced doctor or pharmacist.

hormonal treatments are also useful these are usually centered around new generation of the oral contraceptives these aim to suppress ovulation therefore suppressing the hormonal cycle

there is good support for the use of the combined pill called yasmin

ladies can also take this medication continuously without a break if your symptoms are more severe or the combined contraceptives are not appropriate for you

your doctor may consider an alternative

 

non-hormonal treatment in most cases you would be offered an ssri which is a selective serotonin

reuptake inhibitor these medications are used also to effectively manage depression so are
