Viagra for a long time now is one of the trusted solutions for men around the world looking to deal with erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction occurs due to an insufficient blood flow into the penis which makes it difficult for men to maintain firm erections. The causes of ED can be either cardio vascular in nature like high BP/cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and arteriosclerosis or psychological in nature through symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. Generic Viagra 100mg contains a PDE5 inhibitor in sildenafil citrate which counteracts the effects of ED by boosting blood flow into the penis. This is done by releasing nitric oxide which triggers dilation of blood vessels leading to improved blood flow into the penis. While the effectiveness of Viagra is beyond doubt there are some safety guidelines that must be followed to avoid complications.
1) Locate the root cause of your ED
ED can be a surprising jolt for a man causing embarrassment and anxiety in equal measure. So instead of looking to find out the root cause of ED focus will be on trying to ‘cure’ it by using Viagra samples. However this could turn out to be dangerous. As already mentioned most of the symptoms of ED are cardiovascular in nature. Many a time these symptoms are undetected. So by ignoring the root cause these symptoms can continue to exist undetected. After a while these symptoms could escalate into a major cardiovascular episode. That is why ED is many a time considered as one of the first indicators for an impending heart episode.
2) Do not use Viagra without first consulting your doctor
Nowadays it’s possible to buy online Viagra which can be done without a prescription. But it’s important to first get a prescription from your doctor even when buying online. Consumption of Viagra can be dangerous if the user is suffering from any of the following symptoms
* Heart disorders
* Liver/kidney disorder
* Blood cell disorder
* Bleeding disorder
* Stomach ulcer
* Physical deformity in the penis
Viagra should not be taken in combination with medicines containing nitrates or medicines used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension as it could lead to a sudden and dangerous reduction in blood pressure.
3) Avoid these things when taking Viagra
* Alcohol consumption with Viagra can cause serious side effects
* Grapefruit can also cause serious side effects if taken in combination with Viagra.
* Do not use other ED medicines when taking Viagra as it could lead to an overdose.
