Is it safe to use Viagra for treating impotence?

In these days, we all have to live a life which is full of workloads. In addition to that, we also have to handle various types of problems. Erectile dysfunction is one of those which is a male sexual health issue. In this problem, a man becomes unable to have an erection which is essential for having sex. It happens because of the irregular blood flow to the penis. By taking ED pills, one can have the perfect erection though they cannot cure impotence.

Viagra is the first oral pill for treating erectile dysfunction. It was made as the solution to a heart problem. But later it shows the effect of treating ED. Viagra is the brand version of Sildenafil. Sildenafil is a PDE5 inhibitor. The ingredients of Viagra are as follows;

Sildenafil (Active)

Microcrystalline cellulose (Inactive)

Croscarmellose sodium (Inactive)

Anhydrous dibasic calcium phosphate (Inactive)

Magnesium stearate (Inactive)

Titanium dioxide hypromellose (Inactive)

Working mechanism

Erectile dysfunction is a sexual problem that is suffered by the men. It happens because of the irregular blood flow to the penis. To treat ED, the ED pills correct the blood flow by relaxing the blood vessels. As an ED pill, Viagra follows the same mechanism. As Sildenafil is the active ingredient of this ED pill, it also works as a PDE5 inhibitor. PDE5 is a chemical that slows down our blood flow. So by stopping this chemical in our body Viagra allows the free flow of blood.

The release of nitric oxide by the nerves in the erectile tissues of the penis is the cause of a perfect erection which also needs the proper sexual stimulation. Nitrous oxide induces an enzyme that produces messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This enzyme relaxes the arteries in the penis so that the blood can pass to the penis. Viagra also contains nitrous oxide which can prevent the decreasing of cGMP. Thus Viagra helps a man to have or maintain the perfect erection

Risks with Viagra

Like other ED pills, Viagra also has some side effects which are different from person to person. It is suggested to go for treatment if you notice any difference after taking Viagra. The main point of concern with Viagra is its risk of abuse or overuse. There is a wrong notion that ED pills can increase the sexual power which is totally wrong and for this reason, not only Viagra but other ED pills are also misused. Actually, Viagra and other ED pills also show the best result when they are taken with sexual arousal. A survey was conducted where total 46 articles, that were published in the journal Current Drug Abuse Reviews in 201, were reviewed which were written on the topic of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor abuse. As Sildenafil is the active ingredient of this ED pill, Viagra is also a PDE5 inhibitor. Overuse of Viagra can lead one to death as it can cause a heart attack. So we should be very careful while using Viagra.

Viagra is an FDA approved ED pill. So it is a safe ED pill. But we use it in the wrong way which harms us only. So, Viagra should be taken according to the doctor only.
