The brand name Viagra, formally known as Sildenafil Citrate, is a medical drug that is used to treat erectile dysfunction. It was first conceived at a research facility in England, tested in the mid 1990’s, patented in 1996 and was approved by the FDA in 1998. It was brought to the market by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer. It was originally designed to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension and angina pectoris (chest pain/discomfort due to coronary heart disease). There is growing evidence that Viagra can help men who experience antidepressant-induced erectile dysfunction as well.

Viagra works by increasing blood flow to the penis, allowing men to get an erection for sexual intercourse. According to their website, Viagra starts to work within 30-60 minutes. At 50mg or 100mg dosages, it was shown to help approximately 4 out of 5 men get and maintain their erections. Viagra takes effect approximately 30 to 60 minutes after oral inception. That is when the patient gets aroused sexually. The erection is supposed to last up to 4 hours. If these numbers are drastically over or under exceeded, the patient should see a medical professional. Individual results vary from person to person.

Collectively known by being the “little blue pull” or “blue diamond pill”, Viagra is now a worldwide, premier, and sometimes controversial medication whose primary competitors are Cialis and Levitra. It is predominantly taken by men over the age of 40. It is increasingly being taken by young adults and is common among popular culture to potentially improve sexual performance or an attempt to permanently increase penis size. For these reasons, it has been said to be the most controversial product to hit the pharmaceutical market over the past 30 years.
Common side effects of Viagra are headaches, indigestion, nasal congestion, impaired vision, and photophobia (sensitivity to light). It is not advised to be mixed with other drugs. In rare cases, it has led to damage of the optic nerve, priapism (long-lasting erections), heart attacks, increased intraocular pressure, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden hearing loss. Viagra now comes with a label warning about potential hearing loss, as of 2007.

Legally obtaining Viagra in South Africa requires a prescription from a medical professional. Many websites attempt to trick viewers into thinking otherwise. In 2007, a British pharmacy chain piloted an over-the-counter sale of Viagra in select stores. In 2013, Viagra manufacturer Pfizer announced that it will begin selling this drug online via their website. When a patent expired in 2013, the company made a generic version. Online, it can be obtained through a questionnaire consultation.
