Viagra, otherwise known as Sildenafil, is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction. It is recognizable in media as a small blue diamond shaped pill. The drug was originally discovered by the drug company Pfizer while they were searching for a treatment for chest pains. This may be why in some cases it is claimed that the drug is also used in the treatment of high blood pressure specifically in the heart.

To explain it simply the drug works by relaxing the artery walls.

This causes more blood to flow to the penis which helps with erections. It must be noted that this only helps with erections and that arousal is usually needed to achieve an erection even with this drug.

All forms of Viagra are currently taken orally.

Normally the doctor will direct the patient to ingest the drug once a day about half an hour to an hour before they plan to have sex. The dosage is prescribed taking into account the patients age and underlying cause of their erectile dysfunction.

While it is normally used to treat erectile dysfunction, it also comes with some nasty side effects.

Such side effects commonly include headaches, heartburn, and flushed skin. A rarer but more dangerous side effect include prolonged erections that can lead to tissue damage, vision loss and hearing problems. On some occasions people have even claimed to see things tinted blue after taking the medication.

In Australia one would need a prescription to purchase Viagra and it”s many other alternates.

In many cases, a prescription must be prescribed by a licensed doctor. It is impossible to buy this drug over the counter in Australia as it is illegal to do so. This is due to many of the side effects listed prior as well because it is incompatible with many other medications.

Prescription sales can happen at physical pharmacies or even online.

One of the largest online retailer of the generic version of this drug is Viagra.com. They guarantee the high quality of their products as well as discrete delivery. They claim to be Australia’s most trusted online retailer of prescription Viagra. Their prices range from .21 per 100 milligram to .24 per 100 milligram.

Some sex shops also sell this drug openly in defiance of the law to attract customers.

In many cases it has been reported that these illegal sales are cheaper than their legal counterparts. This makes them an attractive magnate for sex shop patrons. However the quality and efficacy of these products are not always guaranteed.

Viagra, is widely recognized in today’s pop culture, and and has pushed the drug into the realm of recreational use.

People believe that the drug can increases libido, improve sexual performance, or even permanently increases penis size. While this is a widely held believe studies have shown otherwise. A study on a regular dosage of Viagra has shown little change in erection quality but did note that it did reduce the refractory time post ejaculation. This is however damped by the fact the a strong placebo effect was also detected in the control group.
