Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors such as Viagra are, of course, best known for effectively treating erectile dysfunction, but a study of nearly 270,000 men has added to the growing body of evidence that they may also lower the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

University College London (UCL) researchers looked at 269,725 male participants in the UK, with an average age of 59, with no evidence of cognitive impairment, who had recently been diagnosed with erectile dysfunction…….Story continues…

Critics:

Viagra works to treat ED by helping you get and maintain an erection. The drug does this by improving blood flow into your penis when you’re sexually aroused. Viagra is a type of drug called a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. It works by inhibiting (blocking) the action of an enzyme called PDE5. Viagra and its alternatives are designed to help you achieve and maintain an erection.

Whilst they may reduce the length of the refractory period, they will probably not keep you hard after ejaculation. Still, you shouldn’t have a problem getting erect again once the refractory period’s over.However, if you have erectile dysfunction, Viagra’s effects on your sexual performance can provide a confidence boost or make sex more enjoyable. In some cases, using Viagra might not make your erection develop faster or become firmer than usual, but might make it easier for you to maintain an erection during sex.

The effects of taking 100 mg of Viagra can last for up to 4 hours after taking the drug. However, the strength of these effects is weaker at 4 hours than 2 hours after taking Viagra. As the concentration of Viagra in the blood typically peaks 60 minutes after taking the drug, the effects are strongest around this time.

The simple answer is no – Viagra does not permanently increase size. But it can improve erection quality during sexual activity. Viagra contains the active ingredient Sildenafil Citrate. It works by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow to the penis.There are no obvious signs that a man is taking Viagra. Viagra does not increase libido for healthy men with ED, but it may shorten the refractory period after orgasm.

Pfizer, the company that manufactures this drug, has confirmed that the typical Viagra user is on average 53 years old. The company does not keep records of users younger than 33 years. The drug should not be used in young men who do not have erection problems. Have a serious heart or liver problem. have recently had a stroke, heart attack or a heart problem – your doctor should carefully check whether your heart can take the additional strain of having sex.

Have low blood pressure (hypotension) have a rare inherited eye disease, such as retinitis pigmentosa. An erection can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. There isn’t really an average time for how long an erection should last. In general, though, the average amount of time a person has an erection during sexual intercourse before they ejaculate is about seven minutes.
