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.
