How Viagra Professional Works
Viagra Professional works by targeting the underlying cause of erectile dysfunction – reduced blood flow to the penis. When a man is sexually stimulated, the body releases nitric oxide, which in turn activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase. This increases the production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), a substance that causes the blood vessels in the penis to relax and widen.
However, in men with ED, the enzyme PDE5 breaks down cGMP too quickly, restricting blood flow to the penis and preventing an erection. Sildenafil Citrate, the active ingredient in Viagra Professional, inhibits PDE5, allowing cGMP levels to remain elevated longer and thereby promoting improved blood flow to the penis. This leads to an erection that is firm enough for sexual activity.
It’s important to note that sexual stimulation is still required for Viagra Professional to be effective, as it does not automatically cause an erection without stimulation.
Uses
- Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Viagra Professional is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. ED can be caused by various factors, including physical conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or hormonal imbalances, as well as psychological factors such as stress and anxiety.
- Improved Sexual Performance: By increasing blood flow to the penis, Viagra Professional not only helps with achieving an erection but also enhances overall sexual performance, leading to greater satisfaction for both partners.
- Alternative to Other ED Medications: For men who have not experienced satisfactory results with other ED medications, Viagra Professional offers an alternative with a higher dose of Sildenafil Citrate, often providing better results.
Benefits
- Fast-Acting: Viagra Professional is known for its faster onset of action, typically taking effect within 30 minutes to an hour, helping users feel confident and prepared before sexual activity.
- Long-Lasting Effects: The effects of Viagra Professional can last up to 4-6 hours, providing enough time for multiple sexual encounters if desired.
- Higher Potency: With a higher concentration of Sildenafil Citrate, Viagra Professional is often more effective for men who need a stronger dose to achieve results.
- Improved Confidence: By treating the physical symptoms of erectile dysfunction, Viagra Professional helps men regain confidence in their sexual performance.
Side Effects
Like all medications, Viagra Professional may cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects include:
- Headache: Some users may experience headaches, which are usually mild to moderate in nature.
- Flushing: A feeling of warmth or redness in the face, neck, or chest may occur.
- Indigestion: Some men may experience mild digestive discomfort, such as heartburn or nausea.
- Nasal Congestion: A blocked or runny nose can sometimes occur as a result of using Viagra Professional.
- Dizziness: Occasionally, users may feel lightheaded or dizzy.
In rare cases, more serious side effects can occur, such as:
- Vision Problems: Changes in vision, including blurred vision or seeing a blue tinge, may happen.
- Priapism: A prolonged and painful erection lasting more than 4 hours is a rare but serious side effect that requires immediate medical attention.
- Chest Pain: If chest pain or discomfort occurs, it is important to seek emergency medical care as this could signal a heart-related issue.
Recommendations for Use and Safety Precautions
- Consult a Doctor: Before taking Viagra Professional, consult your healthcare provider, especially if you have a history of heart disease, stroke, liver disease, or kidney problems.
- Avoid Alcohol and Grapefruit: Drinking alcohol or consuming grapefruit while taking Viagra Professional can increase the risk of side effects. It is advisable to avoid excessive alcohol consumption and grapefruit while on this medication.
- Dosage: Viagra Professional is usually taken as a single tablet, about 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. The recommended starting dose is 50 mg, but the dosage may be adjusted based on individual needs. Never exceed the prescribed dose without consulting a doctor.
- Not for Women: Viagra Professional is intended for use by men only and is not approved for women.
- Do Not Combine with Nitrates: Viagra Professional should not be taken with nitrates (often prescribed for chest pain) as this combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
- Storage: Store Viagra Professional in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
