Viagra in South AfricaI believe that Viagra is an important product that helps to create fulfilling relationships, where one may not have existed before. In some areas, such as South Africa, Viagra is available only as a prescription medication. This has a variety of effects on the market, one of which being an increase in pricing. Anytime a drug is regulated by a government entity, there is a tendency for prices to be driven up. Regulation, while usually well intentioned, often leads to shortages, price increases and in some cases, a potential for important ingredients to be over regulated or outlawed by overbearing government entities.
It is the author’s personal belief that drugs such as Viagra are best regulated by an open and free market, where customers can drive the pricing and product quality. If left to a completely open and free market, Viagra, as well as other drugs would likely be more effective, more advanced, more readily available and of an overall better level of quality and safety. One area where government regulation can cause issues is in that of side-effects. Often times, a government entity for a variety of reasons, will require the inclusion of ingredients that can lead to potentially dangerous and debilitating side-effects. One need look no further than the rapidly voiced, barely understandable string of outrageous side-effects listed on the commercial advertisements of many popular prescription medications.
In general however, despite the best efforts of government regulatory agencies, Viagra remains a fairly safe and effective medication which has helped the relationship of many, many satisfied customers. Specifically, this drug is intended to help those with erectile dysfunction and a brief online search of Viagra drug reviews will lead to an expansive variety of positive reviews and stories in which cases Viagra has helped greatly. Those who are elderly report feeling as though they were much younger and were able to much better perform in the bedroom and satisfy their spouses.
Some have even referred to this drug as a “miracle drug” and have reported great results even at low doses.
Some claim that the drug may lose its effectiveness after prolonged usage, but these reports vary. It is also worth noting that in absolutely no circumstances should this drug be taken while consuming alcohol. Reports have also indicated that Viagra is much more effective when taken on an empty stomach. It is also important to monitor your usage of Viagra and to consult with your doctor on any questions regarding dosage or unwanted side effects.
There are also many generic variations of Viagra available which may be more readily available to prospective customers in countries such as South Africa.
Depending on what part of the world you reside, it is important to research your individual country’s laws regarding products such as Viagra. In conclusion, Viagra is a very well established and potentially effective medication that, when taken properly, can lead to a wide variety of satisfying and fulfilling results that can deliver for many years to come and lead to changed lives and relationships.
