Who qualifies for Viagra

When you consult with a Hi-Doctor EU-licensed physician, they assess several factors to ensure Viagra is safe and effective for you. They look for:

  • A confirmed diagnosis of erectile dysfunction.
  • No history of heart conditions such as recent heart attack or stroke, severe angina, or uncontrolled blood pressure.
  • No use of nitrate medications (often prescribed for chest pain), as these can interact dangerously with Viagra.
  • No severe liver or kidney problems.
  • No history of certain eye conditions like NAION (non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy).

The doctor will review your full medical history and current medications to determine if Viagra is the right choice, always prioritising your safety and well-being.

What Viagra actually does (and doesn't do)

Viagra (sildenafil) is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping you achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. Here’s a quick overview:

  • Mechanism: When you are sexually stimulated, your body releases nitric oxide. This leads to the production of cGMP, a substance that relaxes the smooth muscles in the penis, allowing blood to flow in. Viagra inhibits the enzyme (PDE5) that breaks down cGMP, meaning cGMP levels stay higher for longer, promoting better blood flow.
  • Onset: Typically, Viagra starts working within 30-60 minutes. For best results, take it on an empty stomach.
  • Duration: Its effects usually last for about 4 hours.
  • Important: Viagra does not cause an erection on its own. Sexual stimulation is still required for it to be effective. It does not increase libido, prevent sexually transmitted infections, or act as a form of birth control.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Viagra can cause side effects. Most are mild and temporary. Common side effects include:

  • Headache
  • Flushing (reddening of the face)
  • Indigestion
  • Nasal congestion
  • Dizziness
  • Blurred vision or a blue tint to vision

You should stop taking Viagra and seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

  • An erection lasting longer than 4 hours (priapism).
  • Sudden vision loss in one or both eyes.
  • Sudden decrease or loss of hearing.
  • Chest pain or severe dizziness during sexual activity.
  • Symptoms of an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling of the face/tongue/throat, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).

Always discuss any concerns with your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed physician.
