How Can I Buy Viagra Online? |
 |
 |
 |
|
It is recommended that you speak with your local doctor before beginning to take Viagra or any erectile dysfunction drug. Your doctor can write you a prescription, or you can go online to purchase Viagra. It is best to use a U.S.-based online pharmacy that lists a physical address and phone number on its website. After filling out the online medical questionnaire, speak with a customer-service representative to ensure you are receiving genuine Viagra manufactured by Pfizer. Be aware of websites that offer "generic" Viagra, because none actually exist. Pfizer's patent on Viagra does not run out until 2012, and "generic" Viagra is actually illegal in the U.S. Most "generic" Viagra is made in foreign countries, with no FDA oversight, so many times more or less of the active ingredient is included, and potentially harmful ingredients are often included in the pills as well. It is not worth the money savings or health risk to buy "generic" Viagra. One U.S.-based website that provides U.S.-licensed doctors and pharmacists is www.viamedic.com. This website has been around for 10 years and provides only genuine, FDA-approved medications. You can call their customer service line with any questions, and their doctors will even answer your questions if necessary. |

What is "Generic Viagra?" |
|
|
|
|
The FDA has not approved a generic version of Viagra, or Cialis or Levitra for that matter. Therefore, any other form of Viagra other than genuine Viagra, which is manufactured by Pfizer, is considered to be illegal in the United States. Non-genuine Viagra contains unknown ingredients and is considered a potential health risk for that reason. Much of the “generic” Viagra being sold on the internet is manufactured in foreign countries, many times in unsanitary laboratories or warehouses. These pills may or may not look like real Viagra. They may contain too little or too much active ingredients, as well as unknown substances, and they may or may not be effective for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. In many cases, counterfeit Viagra has been found to be harmful. The FDA warns consumers against purchasing non-genuine, non-FDA approved Viagra and other “knock-off” medications sold as “generic.” When purchasing from an online pharmacy, look to see if a physical address and a phone number are listed under the “Contact Us” or similar tab. If not, it is obvious the pharmacy is being evasive, and therefore it may not be a “legitimate” operation. You have little-to-no recourse of action if you are harmed in any way by a foreign pharmacy (bad medication, identity theft, etc.), which is outside the jurisdiction of the United States. One online pharmacy that provides only FDA-approved medications prescribed by U.S.-licensed doctors and pharmacists is www.ApexRx.com. This company is U.S. based and has been online for about 10 years and has a reputation for excellent customer service. Length of time online is one factor to look for in choosing a safe online pharmacy. |

What Are the Most Common Side Effects Of Viagra? |
|
|
|
|
The side effects caused by Viagra are usually mild to moderate. They usually last no more than a few hours before dissipating. Some side effects may be more likely to occur with higher doses. The most common side effects of Viagra are: - Headache
- Flushing of the face
- Upset stomach
Several side effects occur less often, and may include:
- Temporary vision changes with regard to color (it may be more difficult to tell the difference between blue and green objects, or some objects may appear to be more blue-tinted than their actual color)
- More sensitivity to light
- Blurred vision
- In rare instances, men taking PDE5 inhibitors (oral erectile dysfunction medicines, including Viagra) reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision in one or both eyes. It is not possible to determine whether these events are related directly to these medicines, to other factors such as high blood pressure or diabetes, or to a combination of these. If you experience sudden decrease or loss of vision, stop taking PDE5 inhibitors, including Viagra, and call a doctor right away.
- In rare instances, men have reported an erection that lasts many hours. You should call a doctor immediately if you ever have an erection that lasts more than four hours. If not treated right away, permanent damage to your penis could occur after six hours.
