Viagra is the brand name of the prescription medicine sildenafil. It’s used to treat erectile dysfunction (trouble getting or keeping an erection) in men.
Viagra is available in tablet form, commonly in doses of 25mg, 50mg or 100mg. Tablets of 50mg are considered the usual starting dose, which can then be decreased to tablets of 25mg if you suffer any side-effects. Tablets of 50mg are typically tested for effectiveness, and if you have not experienced the desired effects after four separate tries, dosage can be upped to 100mg. In cases where adverse side effects have been seen, increasing dosage to 100mg may not be advised.
Other research has suggested that specific foods like dark chocolate, pistachios, watermelon, pink grapefruit, and tomatoes may help symptoms.

Other sex issues, like premature ejaculation, loss of libido or inability to orgasm may be caused by other factors and treated in other ways.
If purchased from a UK registered and regulated pharmacy, all brands of sildenafil will be genuine medication and have the same desired effect.
