Information about erection reliability

Consider a non-drug approach to “erection insurance.” If you’re concerned about erection reliability, there are several approaches to raising an erection and keeping it firm without using drugs. First, don’t smoke. Don’t drink any alcohol for a few hours before sex, and don’t drink more than 2 drinks a day. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Get seven hours of sleep a night. In other words, live a healthy lifestyle and you’re likely to have a **** that behaves the way you want.

Consider a half dose. If you have balky erections—and this is perfectly natural for men over 45—then you might decide you want to use erection medication for erection insurance. If so, you may get good results with half the typical dose—25 mg of Viagra instead of the usual 50 mg. Low doses of **** and **** can also be taken.

Use erection drugs correctly and according to your doctor’s recommendations. Viagra and **** take about an hour to produce erection enhancement and the effect lasts approximately 2 hours—longer in some men.

Steps before trying Erection Drugs.

Help boost effectiveness. For men who respond poorly to erection drugs, it may help to combine the medication with the over-the-counter supplement, ArginMax. Researchers at University of California, Davis, worked with men with ED, who did not get much benefit from Viagra. The men took Viagra plus either ArginMax or a placebo. After four weeks, erections improved significantly in 22 percent of those taking the placebo, but among men using ArginMax, the figure was 60 percent.

Know the erection drug’s intended use. Viagra was originally approved for medically diagnosed, persistent ED. The original ads featured elderly Senator Bob Dole talking about how it helped his medical problem.

But once a drug is approved for any reason, doctors are free to prescribe it for other, so-called “off label” uses. Today, all erection medications are most widely used as “erection insurance” for men in their 40s to 60s who have balky erections and don’t want to worry about them. Current ads for Viagra feature young, healthy, professional baseball players saying: “I take batting practice. I take fielding practice. I take Viagra.” Ads for **** and **** are similar, featuring men who appear to be in their 30s or early 40s, and healthy, but just a little concerned about erection reliability.

Steps before trying Viagra

Know that, despite their success, erection drugs also have limitations. They are ineffective in about 25 percent of cases. As severity of ED increases, their effectiveness decreases. For example, the drugs work well in many men with the beginnings of diabetic ED, but less well in diabetics with considerable cardiovascular and neurological damage. In men with mild erection balkiness, these drugs may not work in some situations—if a man feels particularly stressed, distracted or alienated from the sexual experience.

Be aware that if you take any nitrate drug such as nitrate medication for heart disease, nitroglycerine for angina, or the party drug, amyl nitrate (“poppers”), you should not use erection drugs such as Viagra, **** or ****. The combination of Viagra and nitrate drugs can cause a precipitous drop in blood pressure and possibly death. Before this problem was identified, the combination of Viagra and nitrate medication killed more than 500 men.

Take erection drugs according to your doctor’s recommendations; this is extremely important. Viagra comes in 25, 50 and 100 mg pills. Side effects are more likely with a higher dose. The same appears to be true of **** and ***.

Be prepared to take more over time. The latest studies suggest that some men need to increase their dose over time. University of Alabama researchers tracked 150 men who took Viagra regularly for two years or more. During that period one-third increased their dose from 50 to 100 mg.

Inform yourself before you start trying Viagra

1.Learn about possible side effects. For most, but not all men, these drugs are quite safe. The only significant side effects are headache (16 percent of users), flushing (10 percent), upset stomach (7 percent), nasal congestion (4 percent), and rarely, visual disturbances (mostly in men with chronic eye conditions such as macular degeneration)

2.Research your insurance coverage. Some health insurers cover erection medications, but many provide only partial coverage, or none at all. However, even without insurance coverage these drugs are quite affordable. The Viagra dose most men take, 50 mg, costs about $10—a modest price to pay for an amorous evening free from erection worries!

3.Know that, despite their success, erection drugs also have limitations. They are ineffective in about 25 percent of cases. As severity of ED increases, their effectiveness decreases. For example, the drugs work well in many men with the beginnings of diabetic ED, but less well in diabetics with considerable cardiovascular and neurological damage. In men with mild erection balkiness, these drugs may not work in some situations—if a man feels particularly stressed, distracted or alienated from the sexual experience.

How erection medications work?

Know how erection medications work. Currently there are four prescription drugs available for erection problems: Viagra, ****, **** and Yohimbine. They all essentially work the same way. Sexual arousal stimulates release of a compound, nitric oxide (NO), in the ****. Nitric oxide, in turn, triggers synthesis of cGMP, which relaxes the ****’ smooth muscle tissue, and allows extra blood to flow into the organ’s spongy central erectile tissues. Erection drugs enhance this smooth muscle relaxation, spurring greater blood flow into the ****.

Depending on the medication, erection drugs are taken two to 36 hours before lovemaking, so the woman need not know you’re using a drug. These prescription drugs help men with ED caused by both physical illness and stress/anxiety problems. Most studies show that they produce erections in 75 percent of those who use them, with even greater effectiveness among men with only mild or occasional problems. They raise erection only with normal sexual stimulation. No walking around with an embarrassing bulge in your pants that signals you have taken a drug.

How to Use Viagra and Other Erection Drugs?

Viagra is used for treatment of erection impairment, now medically called erectile dysfunction (ED). Viagra was not the first drug treatment for erection impairment, but it was the one that captured the public’s imagination. Today, Viagra is one of the most successful drugs ever marketed. More than 10 million men have taken more than 125 million tablets. Annual sales approach $2 billion. The future of the little blue pill—and other erection medications—looks bright.
Be aware the erection medication is not the answer to every man’s erection problem, though erection medication certainly has a place in treatment of ED. Many erection difficulties are caused by sexual anxiety, and resolve when men learn more about sex, relax about it, and adopt a less ****-centered, holistic and sensual approach to lovemaking. Other erection difficulties are caused by medical problems and resolve when the illnesses are treated. Many erection problems are caused by drugs (notably alcohol and cigarettes) and drug side effects and can be helped by cutting back on alcohol, quitting smoking, or tinkering with prescriptions.
