Can one go blind after using Viagra?

All men who use Viagra should understand that while the pill is very safe it does have a few side effects. Viagra can cause a headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, dizziness or an upset stomach. These mild changes are well tolerated and often disappear with time. 

Reports of blurred or impairment of vision after use of Viagra are exaggerated and so far no link to the pill has been associated. However, Viagra can cause dizziness and chest pain, especially if you are a diabetic, have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or have heart disease. Thus before you buy Viagra you must speak to a doctor to determine if the pill is safe for you.

In rare cases, Viagra can also cause a prolonged painful erection that may last hours. If this ever happens, you must stop having sex and seek immediate medical attention. Rarely, Viagra may cause decreased hearing or a ringing sensation in the ears.

Is there a medication one can take to dissolve gallstones?

Sure, there is but it sucks. This medication known as ursodeoxycholic acid (Actigall) is only useful for very small cholesterol gallstones. The medication tastes like crap and has to be taken for months or even several years to work. Actigall is made from bile acids obtained from a bear’s gallbladder. If you have been diagnosed with gallstones which do not bother you, leave them alone. If you have gallstones that have caused problems like pain and fever, then surgery may be a better option than Actigall. There are some reports where medications to dissolve gallstones have been inserted via a needle in the gallbladder. However, this is only an option for the very sick patient who is not able to tolerate surgery. All the currently available medications to dissolve gallstones only work on very small stones- for anything larger than 1 cm you will be wasting your time and money. Actigall has been around for more than 40 years and the reason people do not know about it is because it sucks.

Can Viagra increase the size of my penis?

Only if you believe in Father Christmas!  Do not believe all the B.S. on cyberspace. Many online sites that sell Viagra falsely advertise that Viagra can be enhance the penile size because it increases blood flow.

Unfortunately, Viagra does not increase size of the penis no matter how long it is consumed. The erectile ability of Viagra are transient and the medication must be consumed on a regular basis to maintain the erections. Anyone who wants to have a bigger penis by taking Viagra is only going to get a lot of disappointments. There is no pill, tablet, lotion, potion, cream, herb or paste that can increase the size the penis.

Can Viagra be used to treat any other medical disorder besides erectile failure?

Yes, the smooth muscle relaxing effects of generic Viagra also have been utilized to treat several other medical disorders besides impotence. There are some individuals who develop narrowing of blood vessels in the lung and are unable to get oxygen. These individuals with pulmonary hypertension benefit enormously from Viagra. The medication acts by generating nitric oxide, which relaxes the blood vessel and allows blood to flow into the lungs where it can be oxygenated. 

Viagra can also used by individuals who climb mountains and live at high altitudes. Because oxygen concentrations are low at high altitudes, Viagra acts by opening up the blood vessels in the lung and allows maximum blood to be oxygenated. However, Viagra must be taken daily to obtain the medical benefits and it can be costly.

 

Can depressed people with decreased libido benefit from Viagra?

Yes, Viagra can help some individuals with depression. Both depression and anti depressant medications can diminish libido. Thus, Viagra can help augment an erection. Unfortunately, Viagra does not work in all depressed individuals and the reason for this is unknown. Moreover, Viagra may work initially and then stop working in most individuals.

Other medical uses of Viagra include treatment for high altitude sickness. Some individuals who climb mountains or hike up hills, often develop altitude sickness which is marked by shortness of breath and cough. These individuals can benefit by taking Viagra for the duration of the trip.

Is Silagra as good as Viagra for erectile failure?

Ever since the patent on Viagra expired, a number of generic versions of Viagra have been developed- majority of these products come from India and China. 

First the fact- Indian pharmaceutical products have historically been known to contain fakes. India sells hundreds of pharmaceutical products, primarily because they are cheap-but in the majority of cases these products are worthless crap. 

Silagra is supposed to be the same as Viagra and works in the same way but is a lot cheaper. It is widely available from many online pharmacies. Unlike Viagra, you do not even need a prescription to buy silagra.

My best advice is avoid all generic products from the orient. There are countless reports on cyberspace that these pills do not live up to expectations. If you have erectile failure and want to have satisfying sex, then you will have to spend the money to get the “real deal” from an American pharmacy. Beware many British & Russian sites do sell generic Viagra and Silagra, but most of these are scam artists who only want your credit card.

My Viagra does not appear to work for impotence. Why?

Viagra is only meant for people who have erectile failure. Viagra is not an aphrodisiac and will not work if you have a psychological cause for your erectile dysfunction. 

When you take Viagra, it should start to work in about 20-45 minutes. Of course, your penis has to be stimulated-spontaneous erection does not occur with Viagra. Moreover, avoid taking Viagra with fatty foods or alcohol. Both these substances delay the onset of erection or you may not get an erection at all. Never take Viagra with other sedative medications. 

Despite all the hype, Viagra only works in about 50-70 percent of men with erectile failure.
