Viagra Sublingual

Description

Viagra Sublingual is a variation of generic Viagra, one of the best known drugs that treat erectile dysfunction in men. The main active ingredient in the drug is Sildenafil Citrate. This drug is sold under many different brand names by various manufacturers.

Drug Information

Viagra is the best known drug in the market today that treats erectile dysfunction in men. Erectile dysfunction, the inability to achieve and sustain an erection, is a condition that mainly affects older men as a result of muscle deterioration. However, all men of reproductive age can experience erectile dysfunction caused by factors such as psychological stress.

Viagra treats erectile dysfunction by improving blood flow to the penis. The active ingredient in Viagra, Sildenafil Citrate, can block enzymes that degrade cGMP, a biological agent that regulates blood flow to organs.

Regular Viagra is usually swallowed orally with a glass of water. Viagra Sublingual is a tablet that can be placed under the tongue until complete dissolution. No water is necessary. Taking Viagra sublingually can increase how quickly the drug becomes active. Scientific studies that compared the effectiveness of regular Viagra against sublingual Viagra have shown that the sublingual version can become effective in about half the time than the regular version.

Dosage

The exact dosage of Viagra Sublingual will vary depending on the user’s age, severity of the condition and possibly weight. The prescribed dosage should be strictly followed as instructed to reduce side effects and possible overdoses.

Viagra is usually taken in 50 mg pills taken daily at least an hour before sexual intercourse, or as instructed by a physician. Viagra Sublingual tablets should be placed under the tongue until the tablet is completely dissolved. No water is necessary.

Viagra Sublingual can be taken with or without food unlike the regular version.

Precautions

 Do not take Viagra Sublingual if there’s a history of allergic reactions to Sildenafil Citrate or similar drugs.

 It is not recommended to take any form of Viagra when taking medications for chest pain or heart disease, such as the nitroglycerins isosorbide dinitrate and isosorbide mononitrate. Taking Viagra with similar nitrate medications can cause dangerous decreases in blood pressure.

 Sildenafil Citrate is not safe to use with recreational “popper” drugs and alpha blockers often prescribed for hypertension.

 Caution should be taken when taking Viagra with protease inhibitors that treat HIV AIDS. Protease inhibitors slow down the metabolism of Sildenafil, which can increase the severity of side effects.
