Side Effects of Viagra

Very few drugs work perfectly, and Viagra is no exception. Viagra has several side effects of which patients need to be aware. ­The first problem comes because Viagra happens to have a spillover effect. It blocks PDE5, but it also has an effect on PDE6. It turns out that PDE6 is used in the cone cells in the retina, so Viagra can have an effect on color vision.­ Many people who take Viagra notice a change in the way they perceive green and blue colors, or they see the world with a bluish tinge for several hours. For this reason, pilots can't take Viagra within 12 hours of a flight.


The second problem comes for people who are taking drugs like nitroglycerin for angina. Nitroglycerin works by increasing nitric oxide, and it helps with angina by opening up the arteries that supply the heart with oxygen. If you take nitroglycerin and Viagra together, the increased nitric oxide plus the blocking of PDE5 can lead to problems.


Other problems with Viagra can include little things like headaches (the drug, as a side effect in some men, opens up arteries in the brain's lining and causes excess pressure) and big things like heart attacks. The possibility of heart attacks is one reason why Viagra is a prescription drug rather than an over-the-counter drug like aspirin. A doctor needs to understand your medical history and make sure that Viagra won't cause a heart attack. Occasional patients who take Viagra®get painful, long-lasting erections and have to see a doctor to solve the problem.


Finally, there is some concern that some men, especially younger men who take Viagra®recreationally and who don't really need it for physical reasons, may end up with a dependency on the drug. That is, they may become unable to maintain an erection without taking Viagra.

Viagra has a long list of effects and possible side effects. The first is the desired effect & that is to increase the blood flow to the penis, which will cause an erestion in most men. Viagra does nothing for sensitivity, sensation or DESIRE! It just make the erection, whether you want to use it or not.

The side effects can include a headache during & after the erection, rapid heart rate, changes in color perception & hearing. There arre pages of warning, I will suggest that you ask a Dr or at least go to Pfizer's Viagra website & read the side effects section.

It is one of the most prescribed meds in the world for men & most men have no problem.

If erectile dysfunction is a problem you may be better served to get to the root of the problem, rather than just treating the symptoms.

MORE THAN YOU WANTED TO KNOW:

· We are often surrounded by the idea that men always want sex. But a man's libido is very complicated and very individual. Sexual hormones play a great role in stimulation in both men and women and hormones rise and fall throughout the day and the month in both men and women. The primary "sex" hormone for men and women is TESTOSTERONE. It drives much of the desire and the physical stimulation that makes women receptive and men capable of sexual thought and activity. When Testosterone drops, women lose interest and men can have erectile dysfunction (ED) problems and a loss of desire. Hormone Replacement Therapy is a great source of correcting LOW LIBIDO in both men and women and helps most men with E.D.

Men are very visually stimulated and much like women are just not turned on by every woman or by every situation. Stresses, illness, family dynamics all play a role in libido. Some men want more sex than others just as women do. For some; sexual desire is more societal and for others it is primarily hormonal. While one person may consider having sex multiple times a day "normal" others are happy with a few times a month. There is no "normal frequency" that is considered healthy sexual desire but not having any desire would be considered unhealthy, particularly if the person is upset by the lack of desire.

·

Testosterone and Estrogen fall at a high rate after the peak child bearing years in women and in men. As these 2 key hormones fall the "sex drive" responds in kind and sexual function and desire is diminished.

· As men AND WOMEN age, their body slows the production of a primary sexual health hormone called Testosterone and a secondary sex hormone called Estrogen. After 35 years most men & women produce 4-5% less each year and very early in their 40s the frequency of sexual desire and physical stimulation in the form of Vaginal swelling and lubrication for women and erections, quality and duration of erections and their drive or desire for sex naturally fall with the falling Testosterone production.

· Creams and patches, even injections and pellet inserts are available to men to supplement the falling Testosterone production, and may be some help. Unlike other ED meds; Hormone therapy can help with desire as well as ED. The Testosterone works on the male body as it did naturally at puberty to create not only sexual development but also desire and drive.
