Viagra for men, often referred to as the ‘blue pill’, is an ED pill which can help to improve sexual wellbeing by enhancing erectile performance. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, with effects lasting up to four hours.
How do you take Viagra?
Take one tablet one hour before sex and works best on an empty stomach. Alcohol will limit Viagra’s effectiveness. Do not combine Viagra with other ED medicines.
How does Viagra work?
Viagra’s active ingredient (sildenafil citrate) increases blood flow to the penis. It enables a firmer, longer-lasting erection if you are sexually aroused.
The treatment will not resolve the underlying physical cause of your ED or increase your sexual desire.
How long does Viagra take to work?
It usually takes 30-60 minutes to work for erectile dysfunction. It can be taken up to 4 hours before sex. Find out more about how long Viagra takes to work.
How long does Viagra last for men?
Effects of Viagra can last for up to four hours. Never take more than one tablet within 24hrs.
How effective is Viagra for men?
Viagra treats ED in 60-70% of cases. If you have eaten a large meal or drunk more than one or two units of alcohol, you may find Viagra is less effective.
We advise trying an ED treatment eight times before giving up, considering a higher dose, or seeking an alternative.
Viagra FAQs
Does Viagra become less effective over time?
Some men who use Viagra might find that over time Viagra becomes less effective. However, there are lots of options for treating ED and Viagra does work for two thirds of the men who take it.
What to expect when first taking Viagra
It’s good to remember, you won’t instantly get an erection when taking Viagra. You will need to be sexually aroused for it to work. So don’t worry if you don’t instantly feel a difference, it can take 30-60 minutes to begin to feel the effect. You can take the tablet up to 4 hours before use.
What are the potential side effects when men take Viagra?
Side effects are uncommon, but Viagra side effects can include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Back pain
- Diarrhoea
- An allergic rash
Some men also experience facial flushing, headaches, light headedness, nasal congestion, indigestion, palpitations (racing heartbeat), and blurred vision. For full information on side effects and correct use, see the patient information leaflet.
Is Viagra bad for your heart?
ED medication such as Viagra is safe for people with healthy hearts. ED medications such as (sildenafil), Cialis (tadalafil) and Levitra (vardenafil) can be taken alongside most heart medications, but cannot be used alongside nitrates which are commonly used to treat angina. ED treatments can be used from six months after a heart attack but aren’t recommended for people with low blood pressure.
ED can be a symptom of underlying conditions such as diabetes, narrowing of the arteries or high blood pressure. ED can also be a side effect of some medications, including diuretics which are often used to treat heart-related conditions. Find out more about the signs of heart problems.
What dose of Viagra should I take?
The standard dose is 50mg. Depending on your age, height and weight, the cause and the severity of your ED, you may be prescribed a lower dose of 25mg, or a higher one of 100mg. Dosage does not affect how quickly or for how long the treatment works.
Higher doses come with an increased chance of developing side effects.
Can Viagra go out of date?
Like all medications Viagra will have a use by date. It’s not advised to take any medication past its use by date.
Can I take Viagra whilst on other medication?
If you are taking alpha-blockers (such as doxazosin or tamsulosin), you should wait at least 6 hours between taking those and taking Viagra.
You will be unsuitable for Viagra if you are taking nicorandil or nitrates, such as GTN spray or isosorbide mononitrate tablets to treat angina.
It is important that you let us know which prescription, over-the-counter medicines and recreational drugs you are taking so that we can prescribe Viagra safely.
Why shouldn’t I drink alcohol when taking Viagra?
While a beer or a couple of glasses of wine won’t affect how Viagra works, any more than this can make it harder to get an erection. It’s advised to not drink heavily before taking Viagra if you would like the best results.
Is it safe to buy Viagra online?
Yes, it is safe to buy Viagra online from trusted and regulated websites like Superdrug Online Doctor. Our doctors will only prescribe Viagra if it is safe for you to take, and we guarantee that we are dispensing real medication. There are many websites that sell Viagra online, but not all of them are legitimate. When buying Viagra online, make sure that the site is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), who are organisations that make sure that the medication is real and that licensed doctors are prescribing them. It is important to do your research when buying Viagra online – Viagra is one of the most counterfeited medicines in the world, and fake Viagra has been known to contain dangerous ingredients such as methamphetamine, printer ink, or drywall.
