How to take viagra for the first time

Sildenafil citrate, marketed under the names Viagra and Revatio, among others, is a medication used basically for two health problems : erection problems and pulmonary hypertension.

Its effect is given because it helps to increase the arrival of blood to the penis during sexual stimulation, this is done through inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase 5. At this point, it is important to say that if there is no sexual arousal, Viagra does not have effect.

In fact, Viagra does not cure erection problems, it only helps maintain an erection for as long as the effect of the medication lasts. If you suffer from erection problems, it would be important that you put embarrassment aside and consult your trusted doctor, sometimes, simple measures such as avoiding certain toxins, such as alcohol, cigarettes, doing physical activity, improving your diet or solving problems , like anxiety or depression, can help you solve erectile dysfunction .

The first time you take Viagra you should consult with your trusted doctor , since it is important that they evaluate you, know your history and, based on that, know if you suffer from any cardiac risk, which means that when using sildenafil, you do it with some caution.

To achieve the effect of promoting an erection, it should be taken (by mouth) between 4 hours and 30 minutes before sexual intercourse, the best would be 1 hour before. It can be taken near or far from meals, what should be known is that if it is eaten together with large and high-fat meals or if alcohol is drunk at the same time, it is likely that it takes longer to take effect than if it were taken in you fast.
