In South Africa, there have always been methods to corral the male anatomy into acting how it honestly should. It is relatively easy to obtain viagra from online stores and shipping usually only takes two weeks. Although the dosage and name of Viagra can often change from area to area, the effects remain the same.

Viagra is a small tablet, more than likely blue, that helps men with erectile dysfunction. The medication works by being ingested into the system and dissolves to help relax arteries to stop the restriction of blood flow. As the blood flow is easier, this helps a man gain and maintain an erection for longer than he could usually achieve without the help of medication as such.

This medication is also to be hailed as an aid for those with pulmonary hypertension. As said above, since Viagra relaxes the blood flow, it allows for pressure to be released. There is a specific strain of Viagra called Revatio specifically for this purpose.

Taking Viagra can be for either spontaneous or planned activity. It starts working within fifteen to twenty minutes and can last between two and four hours. Viagra will not force a reaction from the body; meaning that you will not automatically gain an erection just from taking the medication alone. Sexual arousal, activity, and desire is required for the medication to truly work. In order to gain an erection once the blood flow is restored and relaxed, sexual arousal is the main component.

Due to the many factors that can go wrong with a much quicker blood flow than one might be used to, there can be side effects. Some of the most common ones are; flushing of the face and body, dizziness, headaches and mildly distorted vision. Rarer ones include heart attacks, stroke, irregular heartbeat and death; but it is undetermined whether Viagra actually caused these effects or was just taken by men with heart problems already.

It is entirely possible to overdose on this medication, and an overdose can lead to death. Do not take Viagra more than once a day, and stop using Viagra if you plan to take part in using recreational drugs; ie, ‘poppers’.

During sex, if you feel a tightening of the chest, stomach, or jaw, stop immediately and seek medical help as you could be having a serious side effect to Viagra.

As the effects of Viagra can last up to four hours, it is possible to have an erection lasting up to that time as well. If that happens, head to the nearest hospital as this could lead to permanent damage to the penis.

Store Viagra somewhere room temperature and away from heat. Keep the medication dry and away from children.

Viagra is helping men take back their independence and manhood, and helping them regain their confidence in their love lives. This medication can be a godsend, just do not go wild with it as it is a very serious medication.

Always make sure not to take too little or too much of the recommended dosage. Do not double up if Viagra does not work the first few times and speak to your doctor about adjusting the dosage.

In recent years, important advances have been made in the development of Viagra, such as increasing its effectiveness and avoiding side effects, but although science has evolved, it has not yet managed to match that which is considered the most powerful in the world and which is also natural: the acai.

This fruit, which looks like a blueberry, is found in various parts of South America such as Venezuela, French Guiana, Brazil, Suriname, and Peru, but mainly in Bolivia.

The acai also known as “the natural viagra”, was part of the diet of the Indians of the Amazon and in some of those tribes, it was considered aphrodisiac, so it was used to increase the sexual impulse.

Its fame is so great that other cities in the world like New York, consume it in different ways like “Sex on the roof”, a cocktail of acai with Kahlúa and vanilla.

The most consumed part of the acai is the pulp and to extract it, you just have to soak it in hot water and then squeeze it.

Although it can be consumed directly, nutrition specialists recommend including it in smoothies, salads or jams.

In addition to increasing libido, it also has other benefits such as:

• Increases energy, so athletes use it as a supplement.
• Its high fiber content improves digestive function
• Attacks free radicals
• Treats diabetes
• Make the youngest and healthiest skin look
• Strengthens the immune system and 34 more varieties of this drug are sold to treat erectile dysfunction than the classic analgesic, if one takes into account the diversity of brands with the active ingredient sildenafil, the doses and the presentations in the form of pills and in candies.

In 1998, it was marketed only by the pharmaceutical laboratory that patented it, Pfizer.

Today, on the other hand, it is offered by 42 laboratories with brands such as Segurex, Incresil and Super-O. It should be sold only in pharmacies and under prescription, but the reality is that it is sold in pharmacies without a prescription in 57% of cases, and it is also “filtered” on the Internet, kiosks and temporary shelters. The profile of the user is very different from what was thought: men over 65 are a minority among buyers, since it is used by men of all ages who believe that, with the help of Viagra, they have guaranteed sexual “success” .

“Viagra was a revolutionary drug: it changed the history of the treatment of erectile dysfunction that affects older men more. It is a first-line treatment to solve the problem of not being able to achieve or maintain an erection”,  says Adrián Helien, a psychiatrist and specialist in sex education accredited by the Argentine Society of Human Sexuality. The spread of the existence of the drug also made more men consult quickly. “Ten years ago, men took 2.5 years on average to see a doctor. Today they consult before the year”, says Dr. Adolfo Casabé, in charge of the sexual medicine sector of the Durand Capital Hospital and of the Directorate of the Specialized Medical Institute (IME) together with Amado Bechara.

From the day of its approval in the United States on March 27, 1998, Viagra began to sell more and more. According to the Argentine Pharmaceutical Confederation (COFA), 3.6 million units were sold last year in pharmacies in our country. In 2005, only 3 million were sold. They estimate in the COFA that the sales in kiosks, hotels and Internet would add another 3 million units per year. In addition, he “born” competitors: tadalafil and vardenafil, also for erection problems.
