Viagra magic little blue pill


Viagra is touted as the magic little blue pill for men with performance issues, but are there any downsides? Pfizer, which produces Viagra, has long published a list of potential issues and cautionary notes. Viagra is the little blue pill that has reintroduced millions of men to the world of intimacy. The drug was originally designed to treat high blood pressure and angina issues. It failed at that miserably, but it did have a very fortunate side effect. That being said, the drug is also noted to have some side effects that are not so hot. Specifically, the little blue pill tends to drop blood pressure and that can be dangerous is some cases. Beyond that however, the use of Viagra is safe enough that the FDA obviously approved it.

Viagra is not recommended to be taken more than once in 24 hours. It is essential that you allow an interval of 24 hours between doses. If you experience a painful or prolonged erection that lasts for more than 4 hours (priapism), get emergency medical help immediately to avoid damaging your penis permanently. Viagra is known to restrict the flow of blood to the optic nerve, sometimes resulting in sudden loss of vision. This, however, is an extremely rare side effect of Viagra that largely affects people who have had certain pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or optical problems. These side effects can also affect heavy smokers or those over the age of 50. Although the links between these effects and Viagra use have not been proved, you should stop taking the medication if you experience any of them.
