Viagra Overuse

Whether as a recreational drug or as a medication to treat erectile dysfunction, Viagra overuse is a well known fact with worldwide repercussions. Ten years have passed by since Viagra was patented, and about eight after its approval, but there is still too much disinformation on the use and abuse of this medication.

Viagra overuse may lead to unwanted side effects, including rash, facial flushing, headache, upset stomach, dyspepsia, nasal congestion, dizziness, diarrhea, and urinary tract infection in more severe cases.

Less commonly, patients may experience abnormal or bluish vision, sensitivity to light, or blurred vision. However, if Viagra is not prescribed by a physician and a patient abuse of the medication taking higher doses or more than one tablet a day, major health problems may occur.

As an example, men age 65 and older, or those who have serious kidney or liver problems, are often advised to lower the dose from 100 mg to 25 mg. Viagra overuse occurs because these men do not have any reasoning other than their own beliefs in the benefits of this product.

Erections may not last more than 4 hours if a man is being treated for erectile dysfunction in order to prevent long-term injuries. Desperate men’s abuse of Viagra expecting to have “never ending” erections, or just more fun if they are using this medication as a recreational drug.

In fact, there is an underground market promoting Viagra's use as an aphrodisiac. Exhaustive studies have not found any evidence of this property in Sildenafil citrate, so instead of an increase in sexual drive, what increases is unscrupulous retailer's earnings.

Young men are the most impressed with the supposed non-written uses and sexual-related properties of Viagra. Research on this matter is alarming, showing reports of teenagers as young as 16 years of age with Viagra overuse, often aggravated by mixing Sildenafil with other drugs, herbs and chemicals, such as the methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)

MDMA is a modified amphetamine popularly known as "ecstasy", an hallucinogenic with stimulant properties that, in combination with Viagra, makes a sort of brand new drug called "Sextasy", drug listed on the top of Viagra overuse among young people.

Viagra is a medication which effectiveness has been proven in 70% of all the diagnosed and prescribed patients, including people with specific conditions such as diabetes, or individuals with spinal cord injury.

However, if you received a treatment with this medication before and saw no results, Viagra overuse will probably not solve your problem., but a visit to the urologist for a physical examination and basic laboratory testing may help you find one of the many options for treating erectile dysfunction. Viagra is just one of them.
