In Australia, Viagra is being considered to be offered to men without the requirement of a prescription. Australia has started this initiative in efforts to minimize the growing market of counterfeit Viagra currently available on multiply online pharmacy sites. Viagra is a drug that has been around for years solving men sexual problems. The drug is used to treat erectile dysfunction, which is a sexual condition experience by some men of all ages and for various reasons.
Erectile dysfunction may occur occasionally or frequently.
The complications of the condition results in men not being able to obtain an erection even when sexually stimulated. This typically occurs due to the issue with blood vessels in the genital area being constructed so much that blood flow is greatly decreased and is crippling to the stimulations of an erection. Viagra helps to reverse this issue by stimulating the blood vessels to relax and consequently allowing blood to flow freely. A normal rate of blood flow is restored and allows for a sufficient amount of blood to flow to the penis when a man has been sexually aroused.
As Viagra is used to help treat the symptoms associated with erectile dysfunction, it does not serve as a permanent cure for the condition.
After about four hours after taking the drug, men may no longer experience the ease of obtaining an erection as the drug has worn off, another pill must be taken but not within the same 24 hour period. This goes to further consider why men may be on the hunt for this drug and obtaining it quickly when erectile dysfunction is being experienced. Normally men would need to obtain an evaluations from a doctor and if they are deemed an ideal candidate for the drug then they will be given a prescription. This can take weeks to obtain which is inconvenient for men who are very sexually active. Alternative measures have been sought, such as the online community. Many men turn to the web seeking ways to obtain the drug without all the hassle.
Australia has many online based pharmacies that are both legitimate and fraudulent in the drugs they offer.
The online pharmacies allow men to obtain Viagra at a substantially lower cost and receive the drug at their residence without all the hassle of being approved by a doctor and obtaining a prescription. A market that opened up that prayed on the desperation of men in need of Viagra who did not have the time or adequate health to obtain the drug in an approved manner is counterfeit Viagra. The counterfeiters identified the simple make up of Viagra and how they could legitimately pass on the drug as authentic to make a couple of bucks. This is very dangerous as there is no oversight being done by pharmaceutical companies in the drug make up. It has been found that some counterfeit Viagra contains printer ink to color the drug which is not safe for human consumption. Men could be taking something that could cause fatal results.
Australia hopes by make Viagra more available and affordable to men that they will decide to buy the drug from reputable companies instead of the counterfeit off brand online pharmacies.
