Who qualifies for Viagra

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully review your medical history to determine if Viagra (sildenafil) or other PDE5 inhibitors are suitable for you. They look for specific health indicators and contraindications. Generally, you qualify if you are an adult male experiencing erectile dysfunction and do not have certain cardiovascular conditions, severe liver or kidney impairment, or specific eye conditions. It's also crucial that you are not taking nitrate medications or alpha-blockers. The doctor ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment, always prioritizing your health.

What Viagra actually does (and doesn't do)

Viagra is a PDE5 inhibitor. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping you achieve and maintain an erection when you are sexually stimulated. It does not cause an instant erection without sexual arousal. Viagra typically starts working within 30 to 60 minutes and its effects can last for up to 4 hours. It helps you respond to sexual stimulation more effectively, but it doesn't increase libido or cure the underlying causes of ED. Many patients find it effectively restores their sexual confidence and function.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Viagra can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and visual disturbances. More serious but rare side effects include a sudden decrease or loss of vision or hearing, or an erection lasting longer than 4 hours (priapism). If you experience any severe or prolonged side effects, stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention. Our doctors provide comprehensive information on potential side effects and when to discontinue use.
