    How Viagra affects a man

    The main purpose of Viagra is to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). In short, Viagra lets a man get an erection. When sexually stimulated, a man who takes Viagra will receive more blood flow to produce a more rigid erection if they currently suffer from erectile dysfunction. In healthy men, Viagra will not be helpful in getting an erection (though it may help reduce the period of time between sexual climaxes).

    What happens after taking Viagra?

    When Viagra enters the body, it causes the walls of blood vessels to relax. This allows blood to circulate more easily through them. This makes it easier for a man to get an erection. There are two variants that are sold, Viagra and Viagra Connect.

    Are Viagra and Viagra Connect the same drug?

    Both Viagra and Viagra Connect contain the same ingredient, namely Sildenafil. This is the active ingredient that enables an erection when sexually aroused. There are two main differences between Viagra and Viagra Connect, the dose and the requirement for a prescription. Viagra is a prescription-only drug in the UK. Viagra Connect, however, does not require a prescription. You can buy both Viagra and Viagra Connect on UK Meds.

    Does Viagra make you bigger?

    Viagra will not permanently increase the size of your penis. It will, however, allow it to become more rigid if you suffer from erectile dysfunction. The size increase achieved when taking viagra is simply allowing your penis to expand to the same size you would otherwise be able to achieve if you were not experiencing erectile dysfunction.

    How does Viagra make you feel?

    While Viagra can help you achieve an erection, your brain still has a major role to play. Viagra won't work if you are not in the mood for sex. While some men may feel lightheaded or dizzy, many do not experience any side effects.

    Can I take Viagra every day?

    Yes, you can take Viagra every day if prescribed by your doctor. However, you shouldn't take more than one dose of Viagra per day. If you are concerned about having more flexibility in your schedule, Cialis may be a better choice. Where Viagra is effective from between a half-hour and up to 12 hours after taking, Cialis can remain effective for up to 36 hours.

    Which is better, Viagra or Cialis?

    Both Cialis and Viagra are "PDE5 inhibitors". Both are used to treat erectile dysfunction. Both only work if you are sexually aroused. The difference comes in the timeframe in which the medication remains effective. After a few hours, Viagra's effectiveness begins to diminish. On the other hand, Cialis lasts much longer (up to 36 hours). Another difference is in cost. Viagra is cheaper than Cialis. Finally, one should not eat a fatty meal before taking Viagra or its effectiveness would be diminished, while this isn't a problem with Cialis. However, grapefruit should be avoided with both Cialis and Viagra.

    Does Viagra help performance anxiety?

    If you have a loss in confidence due to having erectile dysfunction, Viagra can help restore confidence and relieve anxiety. However, Viagra by itself is not a cure for anxiety. Anxiety due to factors that are not related to sexual performance is not addressed by taking Viagra.

    Is Viagra bad for your heart?

    A study has found that Viagra is not bad for people who have heart disease, as long as that person is able to handle the exercise. The conclusion was that in cases where people have experienced heart problems during sex while taking viagra, those heart problems could be attributed to the exercise received during the sex and not from Viagra itself.

    How long until Viagra kicks in?

    The effects of Viagra vary between people. As a rule, Viagra will begin to work around 30 minutes after it is taken. It will remain effective for up to six hours, where its potency will begin to diminish. A man can potentially still experience the benefits of Viagra for up to 12 hours after taking it.

    Viagra alternatives

    Have you tried Viagra, but found there are side effects which are offputting? There are alternatives to Viagra that you may be interested in. The first is Cialis; the other is Levitra. If you are not satisfied with Viagra, ask your doctor whether these alternatives are right for you.

    Where to buy Viagra online in the UK?

    Are you convinced you would like to try the blue pill? It is crucial to find a safe place to purchase Viagra online. UK Meds is an online clinic. We have overnight shipping most nights of the week. Use UK Meds online clinic if you would like to order Viagra or Viagra Connect online.
