Sildenafil is used to treat male sexual function problems (impotence or erectile dysfunction) by blocking a certain enzyme (phosphodiesterase-PDE5) in the body. In combination with sexual stimulation, sildenafil works by helping the blood flow into the penis to achieve and maintain an erection.
This drug is not indicated for use in women.
Use of this drug does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (e.g., HIV, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, syphilis). Practice "safe sex" such as using latex condoms. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details
USES
This drug is taken by mouth as needed, at least 30 minutes, but no more than 4 hours, before sexual activity (1 hour before is the most effective). Do not take more often than once daily, and take as directed.
A high fat meal may delay the time of onset of this drug.
Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while you are being treated with this medication unless your doctor instructs you otherwise.
SIDE EFFECTS
The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to therapy, and other medications you may be taking (see also Drug Interactions section). Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
Headache, flushing, stomach upset, heartburn, nasal stuffiness, diarrhea, dizziness, or lightheadedness may occur. Vision changes such as increased sensitivity to light, blurred vision, or impaired blue/green color discrimination may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Rarely, a sudden loss of eyesight in one or both eyes (NAION) may occur. This may or may not be due to sildenafil. If this serious problem occurs, seek immediate medical attention. You have a slightly greater chance of developing this serious eye problem if you have heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, certain eye problems ("crowded disk"), high blood pressure, are over 50 years of age, or if you smoke.
Sexual activity may put extra strain on your heart, especially if you have heart problems. If you have heart problems and experience any of these serious side effects while having sex, stop and tell your doctor immediately of: severe dizziness, fainting, chest pain, nausea.
For males, in the very unlikely event you have a painful or prolonged erection lasting 4 or more hours, stop using this drug and seek immediate medical attention, or permanent problems could occur.
A serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include: rash, itching, unusual swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
PRECAUTIONS
Before taking sildenafil, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: penis conditions (e.g., angulation, fibrosis/scarring, Peyronie's disease), history of painful/prolonged erection (priapism), sickle cell anemia, blood system cancers (e.g., leukemia or myeloma), eye problems (e.g., retina diseases like retinitis pigmentosa), kidney disease, liver disease, bleeding disorders, active stomach ulcers, heart problems (e.g., recent heart attack or serious arrhythmia within past 6 months, heart failure, coronary artery disease with unstable angina, aortic stenosis, idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis), recent stroke within past 6 months, very high or low blood pressure.
This drug may make you dizzy or cause vision changes; use caution engaging in activities requiring alertness such as driving or using machinery. Limit alcoholic beverages.
To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a seated or lying position.
Caution is advised when using this drug in the elderly because they may be more sensitive to the side effects of the drug.
This drug is not indicated for use in women or children.
This drug should not be used with the following medications because very serious (possibly fatal) interactions may occur: nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin, isosorbide), nitroprusside (or any "nitric oxide donor" drugs), recreational drugs called "poppers" containing amyl or butyl nitrite.
DRUG INTERACTONS
If you are currently using any of these medications, tell your doctor or pharmacist before starting sildenafil.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription products you may use, especially of: alpha-blocker medication (e.g., doxazosin, prazosin, terazosin), other medications for impotence, azole antifungals (e.g., itraconazole, ketoconazole), bosentan, cimetidine, erythromycin, rifamycins (e.g., rifampin), high blood pressure medicines, delavirdine.
If you are taking an HIV protease inhibitor (e.g., ritonavir, saquinavir), do not take more than a 25mg dose of sildenafil in a 48 hour period.
If you are taking more than a 25mg dose of sildenafil and are also taking an alpha-blocker medication (e.g., doxazosin, prazosin, terazosin) for various conditions (e.g., enlarged prostate), separate the time between taking these medications by more than 4 hours.
Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
I hope all this information helps.

Viagra enhances the ability of soft tissue to absorb blood easier, so if there is any kind of arousal (mental or physical) erections happen sooner and easier.
I can honestly say that even after ejaculation, I have noticed that I can still maintain a 90% erection for a while, yes.
Viagra does NOT delay ejaculation. It has absolutely no effect in that area. That is totally up to you and how well you have learned to recognize the feelings that precede ejaculation.
Yes, Viagra can be used recreationally by men in perfect health. It might be a tad more difficult to convince a doctor to give a sample or a prescription to a much younger man, but in general one does not have to tell some big sob story to the doctor.
When it first came out, I was curious, like a lot of men, in this revolutionary, new drug.
I saw a urologist who was one of the people first dispensing it, and just explained that the quality of sex was something that my wife and I always enjoyed and valued. I obviously wasn't 18 anymore and wanted to maintain that quality.
I was given a standard physical and they found me to be quite normal and healthy. I still got a sample and later, a prescription.

No, viagra does not maintain an erection after ejaculation. Unlike a previous answer, it does not give you an "erection for 4 hours". That is a condition called 'priapism' and can lead to damage to your penis.
There are rumors stating that it will give you a stronger erection or will delay ejaculation. Neither of these are proven. As many men suffer from premature ejaculation, saying it will delay ejaculation becomes a selling point for people who make money selling the drug on the internet, but the company who makes it never has made that claim.
It can be taken if you have a normally functioning organ, but it is unlikely to truely enhance your performance. It is a very expensive pill with potential side effects - including a link to causing blindness (see article below) in some men - and not really indicated if you don't need it.

According to professionals. Most women will experience periods in their life were their libido will be low or completely gone. Experiencing this is normal because there are many factors that can come to play in a women's life. These factors can include hormonal changes such as post pregnancy and pre menstrual, illnesses, physical, psychological, emotional such as stress, and so on. If your sexual problems are making you uncomfortable you should not be afraid to get help. Depending on what the problem is there are some great Viagra for women alternatives available.
A women's sexual desire can vary a great deal. No sex drive means that you have no desire or do not want to have sex at all. If this is happening constantly then it can be a problem. If you have a low sex drive, that means you don't have much of a desire for sex but you might engage in it once in a while. If you feel like this continuously, it can be an issue. If barely having sex does not bother you a bit then that is quite fine. However, if you're not happy with your lack of desire and enjoyment then it is okay to get medical help.
Here is a list of top pharmacies that supply women libido enhancers.

Viagra can be used for fun but be careful! Read more information about Viagra here http://info-viagra.blogspot.com or find here What Happens When a Man First Takes a Viagra Pill? :
Among several men interviewed who have used the drug, not one of them experienced any feeling or sensation after taking the pill. The nothingness is so intense that the most common reaction is a slight panic that the drug isn't going to work.
"That was my worst fear, that it wasn't going to do anything," says Steve Brykman of Los Angeles, who tried Viagra once nine months ago, when he believed job and financial stresses were interfering with his sex life. After taking the pill, "there was nothing at all," says Mr. Brykman, 33 years old. "I just felt completely normal."
Though you may not feel anything, things are happening in the body. As the pill moves into the bloodstream, it starts to block an enzyme called PDE-5. Blocking the enzyme eventually increases blood flow to areas where PDE-5 is most heavily concentrated -- the penis, nose and skin. Diminished blood flow to the penis is the cause of most erectile-dysfunction problems.
So How Do You Get It to Start Working?
Viagra gets the blood flowing, but your brain has to be in the mood as well. "The biggest misperception is that it changes your psychology and makes you want sex," claims to document the experiences of real people who take Viagra. "But if you're sitting talking to Grandma and you pop a Viagra, unless you have issues, nothing's going to happen."
Viagra takes about 30 minutes to kick in. Men who don't normally have problems, or who have only mild dysfunction, say it takes only a minor stimulus -- such as the brush of a hand that wouldn't cause arousal under normal circumstances -- to trigger an erection.

There has recently been controversies surronding the (mis)application of Viagra so answering this question might ignite a debate in this straight forward forum. However, U may wish to consider the links below. They work for me and my friends and there is no side-effect whatsoever because unlike Viagra, they are natural.

How does Viagra soft tab work?
Viagra Soft Tabs give the same pharmacological effect in men’s body like Viagra normal pills. The mode of action of Viagra Soft includes several chemical actions that result in improvement of the blood flow in the male genital region. This occurs due to the vasodilatation of the blood vessels of the penis. The dilated blood vessels of the penis facilitate more blood coming to the male genital organ.In the physiological point of view, the penis becomes erect if a man is sexually aroused and the nitric oxides (NO) are released in the corpus cavernosum (spongy tissue) of the penis. Nitric oxide is the main chemical agent which involved in the activation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), and it influences the smooth muscle dilatation. Sildenafil is responsible to contribuite the cGMPin higher amount by pausing action ofphosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). The enzyme PDE-5 in higher concentration affects the concentration of cGMP in the penis and causes the erection problem. The PDE5 inhibition leads to relaxation of the smooth muscle and improve the blood flow to the penis. So the Viagra soft tabs have the faster effect and provide a strong and satisfactory erection.

The effect is erectosis peniltosis. LOL! I know it can be used recreationally but be careful and safe. My 76 year old uncle was discovered having an affair 5 years ago when he had a heart attack while "spending time" with his young girl friend. It was a viagra induced party so to speak. So sad. So tragic. Kinda funny.

What happens if I miss a dose?
Since Viagra is used as needed, you are not likely to miss a dose.
If you miss a dose of Revatio, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
