November 14, 2008

Popping the famous erectile dysfunction (ED) drug Viagra or any of its variant by thinking it to be an aphrodisiac could be dangerous for health as the tablet is a specific drug meant for treating and curing ED, a particular sexual disorder. Therefore, it should not be considered as a sex stimulant as most of its users believe.

Viagra tablets containing sildenafil citrate are specific prescription drugs that are effectively used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. This drug needs to be taken under a doctor’s supervision and not purchased over the counter. The ED drug is effective only on those patients who are suffering from erectile dysfunction, especially the ones who are suffering from long-standing diabetes. If a normal person takes this tablet, it will have hardly any effect.

Due to poor sales of Viagra, the drug meant for treating erectile dysfunction, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is moving to “educate” medical specialists or doctors. When Pfizer launched Viagra in India late last December, it was expected to become an instant hit. But a month on, the drug is just not moving off the shelves, if chemists in Mumbai are to be believed.

The reasons for bad sales are Viagra’s steep price and the availability of more effective next-generation drugs. Viagra is priced very high and just not selling. It is an investment that is just not giving results. Sexologists believe Viagra was launched a little late in India. The drugs such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are meant to help a person to get rid of erectile dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) drug Viagra has made a lot of people very happy, but ironically it might also have made their outlook rather blue. A man taking high doses of the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra report seeing a blue haze, but until now nobody has studied whether normal doses of the drug affect vision. And since most people turn off the lights after taking Viagra, such side effects are likely to be under-reported in most of the cases.

To investigate this matter, investigators took a standard 100-milligram dose of Viagra. To test if the drug disrupted their ability to pick out changes in images against a blue background, the men watched a flashing red circle on a blue screen. Each found that their ability to distinguish very high-frequency flashes from solid patterns was reduced for up to two hours after taking the Viagra though the problem was temporary. Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are widely used ED drugs and they’ve provided relief to millions of ED sufferers.
