Viagra is a drug used to treat male erectile dysfunction (impotence) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), developed by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer. Its primary competitors on the market are tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil
(Levitra).
. That is, it
when certain criteria
are met. All jokes and snide remarks aside, the drug was developed to help those
in need
Well simply put, it a drug that was found by accident to be highly effective for erectile
dysfunction (
Viagra, aka sildenafil citrate, was originally to be a drug
for treating angina and high blood presurre). Keep in mind that it does not initiate the sexual drive nor does it raise the libido, it merely helps sustain erection in males.
Erectile dysfunction can cause misery

Erectile dysfunction is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection
firm enough for sexual intercourse.
Due to the sensitive nature of the condition, it is difficult to estimate how
many men it affects.
When a man becomes sexually aroused impulses from the brain and local nerves
cause muscles in the corpora cavernosa to relax, allowing blood to flow in and
fill the spaces within the tissue.
This creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making the penis expand.
A membrane called the tunica albuginea helps trap the blood in the corpora
cavernosa, thereby sustaining erection.
The erection is lost when the muscles contract to stop blood flowing into the
penis, and open outflow channels.
What is Generic viagra - The generic version stands for drugs made by 3rd world countries drug companies which as similar in composition to original viagra and obviously
at a fraction of original price
Does it cause multiple erections - Well think of a soft rubber tube which is limp when empty. Now think of it when its one end is restricted and other closed while it is filled with blood or water. Doesn't it become hard....that is what erections is. However the penis loses some of the
erection as blood flow back...in case of viagra it does not flow back so it is easier to maintain erection. So don't forget that one still has to supply blood...meaning the sexual drive has to be initiated by the brain. It
is not an automatic thing that you pop a pill and bingo!
