How Do ED Medications Work?<\/h3>\n

Oral ED medications<\/a>, like Viagra, work by improving blood flow to the penis. These medications are known as phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. In the U.S., they have been widely researched and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in treating erectile dysfunction in most men.<\/p>\n

Men should only take these medications as directed by their medical provider. They should follow all instructions for maximum effectiveness. This includes when to take them, how often they can be taken, and how much should be taken at a time.<\/p>\n

The effects of ED medications vary for each person. This means that some men may benefit from a combination of lifestyle changes and ED medication. All\u00a0treatment options<\/a>\u00a0should be discussed with a medical provider to ensure optimum outcomes.<\/p>\n

Why Use Viagra?<\/h3>\n

Research demonstrates\u00a0Viagra and its generic equivalent<\/a>\u00a0(sildenafil) to be highly effective at treating ED related to insufficient blood flow to the penis. In clinical trials, Viagra and similar drugs (e.g. Cialis) have resulted in a strong erection for 70% of the men who take them. Viagra is often prescribed as a first line of treatment because it has been on the market longest.<\/p>\n

Check Out Your Medicine Cabinet<\/h3>\n

Over-the-counter and prescription\u00a0medications<\/a>\u00a0have been known to cause or contribute to ED. They can also blunt the effects of Viagra and other ED medications, making it difficult or even impossible for these drugs to do their job. Seemingly innocuous medications as acid reflux drugs, antihistamines, and blood pressure medicines can make Viagra less effective.<\/p>\n

Swapping out medications that cause ED can prevent adverse reactions with Viagra.<\/p>\n

Shake Off Your Stress<\/h3>\n

\"Man<\/p>\n

Sexual arousal and functioning is a complex process involving the brain, emotions, and physiological processes. Some men experience ED rooted in both\u00a0psychosocial problems and physical problems<\/a>. Treating both can help to reduce ED symptoms and improve the effectiveness of Viagra.<\/p>\n

Psychological causes of ED include:<\/p>\n
