What is Viagra?
Viagra (sildenafil) is a drug commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction, a condition that affects more than 150 million people worldwide. While the brand name prescription comes in the form of a blue pill, the generic sildenafil comes in the form of a white pill.

Although generic sildenafil can also be used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension, the FDA only approves the Revatio-equivalent sildenafil for this particular condition. Generic Viagra for erectile dysfunction is prescribed in 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg tablets.

How does Viagra work to treat erectile dysfunction?
When you’re aroused, your body releases nitric oxide underneath, a molecule that triggers the events responsible for an erection. But an enzyme (protein) called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) breaks down certain messengers involved in this process, preventing the desired effect.

While there are a number of reasons why someone may have difficulty getting or maintaining an erection, PDE5 inhibitors that block this enzyme, such as Viagra, are often used to help.

Viagra for men and similar erectile dysfunction medications such as Cialis (tadalafil) and Levitra (vardenafil) work by helping to relax the muscles and arteries inside the penis, which helps more blood reach the penis. When you are aroused, and only when you are aroused, the combination of relaxation and increased blood flow helps fill the penis with blood. This is how you can get an erection.

How fast does Viagra work?
After taking Viagra, the medication quickly enters your system and starts working after about an hour, but you can take it anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours before sexual activity.

This means you’ll want to take it about an hour before sexual activity, but you have a larger window of time for when you can still get a benefit. However, as mentioned above, it only works if you are aroused.

You may be wondering if there are ways to help the medication work even faster, such as chewing or crushing the tablet and dissolving it under your tongue. However, it is not made to work that way and must be swallowed whole.

How long does Viagra last?
The effects of Viagra can last 4 to 8 hours, depending on the person and the dose they take. In fact, some people may experience more than one erection during this time. However, just because Viagra can stay in your body for up to 8 hours doesn’t mean your erection should last that long.

In fact, if your erection lasts more than 4 hours, even if it is not painful, seek medical help immediately. An erection that lasts more than 4 hours is known as priapism, a condition that can cause permanent damage to the tissue that helps you get an erection.

If you have sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, leukemia, or certain penile deformities (such as Peyronie’s disease), you are more likely to have a prolonged erection.

How do I take Viagra to get the best results?
Here are a couple of tips for taking Viagra safely and effectively:

Follow recommended and safe doses.
The standard recommended dose of Viagra to treat erectile dysfunction is 50 mg, but your doctor may prescribe between 25 mg and 100 mg.

It is only recommended to take Viagra once a day. This means that if you plan to engage in sexual activities more than once during the day, you should not take one pill each time. And if you take a pill and it doesn’t work for you, don’t double it and take another one. Exceeding the recommended dose of Viagra can put you at risk for serious effects.

Because Viagra can affect other parts of the body, such as the heart and lungs, it is important to stick to the dosage and instructions given to you by your doctor. And if the prescribed dose doesn’t work for you, they may make adjustments to find one that does.

Take it on an empty stomach.
Although it can be taken with or without food, Viagra tends to work best when taken on an empty stomach. Therefore, to maximize its effects, try taking it separately from meals.

But if you end up eating beforehand, avoid taking it with a high-fat meal, as this can affect how quickly the medication is absorbed and how quickly it works.
