VIAGRA – A RELIEF
FOR MEN HAUNTED WITH ED
“What terrible times
I had when I was the age of my kids? They don’t
have to undergo the same despondent feelings
my wife and me had to endure”, you lazily
say to yourself as the hammock sways to and
fro in the gentle breeze. You still dread the
day you were diagnosed with erectile dysfunction.
“Impotence won’t affect my kids”,
you think reassuredly looking at the magic blue
pill in your hand.
Viagra has replaced the reliance
on painful surgeries and therapies with the
popping habit. Viagra was the first approved
prescription pill for the treatment of ED. Erectile
dysfunction is the sexual dysfunction of men
characterized by the inability of penis to attain
and maintain sufficient erection for satisfactory
and enjoyable sex.
For long, ED was considered
as a potential relationship-breaker by the affected
patients. Men and women were reporting emotional
upheavals and other physical ailments directly
to indirectly attributable to ED. The treatments
available were not very popular owing to their
invasive and painful nature. No oral drug was
approved by the US FDA to treat ED till 1998
when Viagra came to the fore.
Actually, the advent of Viagra
in itself was nothing more than accidental.
Sildenafil Citrate – the active ingredient
of Viagra – had been in use for the treatment
of angina for the past 20 years. The results
for the treatment of angina were not very positive.
But sildenafil citrate proved to be a boon for
the sufferers of ED. 4 out of 5 patients showed
promising signs in the clinical trials. And
the rest is history.
Viagra works within 14 minutes
of its intake, in some cases. The effects of
the drug last up to 4 hours in some cases. With
minimal side effects, Viagra became overnight
hit and has posted record sales since its launch.
The patients, after a proper prescription from
the doctor, can buy Viagra online. The privacy
and convenience of the patients is generally
well looked after by the sites dealing with
Viagra online.
