How effective is Viagra?

Viagra is approved by medical associations for treating erectile dysfunction. It has undergone extensive clinical trials and testing to ensure it is effective and safe for humans.

But fatty foods and alcohol can undermine Viagra’s effectiveness. Wait a few hours after a heavy meal before taking Viagra to achieve a firm erection. You’ll also need sexual stimulation for the medication to work.

The human body has cGMP, which relaxes smooth muscle tissues. cGMP dilates the blood vessels and improves blood flow to the penis to enable an erection. But the body also has PDE5. This enzyme interferes with the function of cGMP, leading to erectile dysfunction.

Viagra boosts cGMP production and stops PDE5 from breaking down cGMP.Viagra works by relaxing muscle cells of the blood vessels responsible for supplying blood to the penis.
