Important Consumer Information for Viagra Users
About Viagra
Viagra is a tablet you take by mouth to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), as well as several other conditions. It is in the class PDE-5 Inhibitor, meaning that it causes blood to flow more easily into the penis when a user is aroused, which is essential for successful erections. It is the most popular medication for treating ED, used by tens of millions of men worldwide.
One tablet is all that is needed for 4 hours of erectile ability.
Dosing Information
Viagra comes in three different dose sizes, for milder to more severe cases of erectile dysfunction. Doctors recommend patients start at the smallest dose sizes, only moving up if they find it not wholly effective.
Tablets come in dosages of:
- 25 mg
- 50 mg
- 100 mg (with medical advisory only)
How to Take Viagra
Take one tablet 30 minutes to an hour before sexual activity. Viagra works best on an empty stomach or after a light meal. You should swallow the tablet with a full glass of water.
After using Viagra for a while, you will learn how quickly your body reacts to the medication and when is best for you to take it.

Viagra: As Good as ED Treatment Gets
You can't think of erectile dysfunction without thinking "Viagra". Why is that? Because it is incredibly effective and has helped more people overcome ED than any other pill.
Over 80% of people with ED can beat erection issues by using Viagra. Years of clinical testing and consumer use has proven how well Viagra works. Of modern medications, no other ED drug has done half as much as Viagra.
Viagra is also great because of what it doesn't do. Nasty side effects are extremely rare. The side effects that do pop up from time to time are mild.
It works like this: take one pill with water before you have sex and enjoy erectile ability for the next 4 hours, no worries. You get your natural erection, not a fake wooden one, and it goes away normally when you are finished.
