About Viagra

Viagra contains sildenafil citrate as the active ingredient. It is commonly prescribed to treat the condition erectile dysfunction. Viagra belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (an enzyme that increases the breakdown of cGMP, which regulates the flow of blood in the penis). It works by temporarily increasing the blood flow to the penis, during periods of sexual stimulation. It is available with a prescription as Viagra and is also available as the brand Viagra Connect, over the counter.

Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, is also used in certain doses to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (high blood pressure affecting blood vessels supplying the lungs) by relaxing blood vessels in the chest.

NowPatient offers Viagra as a treatment for erectile dysfunction only from the online pharmacy, following an online consultation with a prescribing clinician.

Key facts of Viagra

• For the treatment of erectile dysfunction, Viagra usually takes 30 to 60 minutes to work
• Viagra can be taken up to 4 hours before you want to have sex
• Viagra does not result in an erection if taken alone. You would need to be sexually excited for it to work
• Viagra has some common side effects which include headaches, feeling sick, indigestion and dizziness. Many people display no side effects or if they do the side effects can be mild

• You should avoid drinking grapefruit juice if you’re taking Viagra prescribed for pulmonary hypertension because it affects the way the medicine works
