Viagra is the first ED pill to be approved by FDA on 27th of March, 1998 to treat erectile dysfunction or impotence in men. ED is a common problem that men all over the world go through. It refers to the inability to get an erection firm enough to engage in a sexual activity. This occurs when there is not enough blood flow into the penile nerve. ED pills like Viagra help in relaxing the muscles, enabling better blood flow into certain areas of the body. This PDE5 inhibitor can help in getting an erection when there is sexual stimulation. ED pills do not work when there is no sexual stimulation. HOW TO USE IT? Self-medication can have a dangerous impact on your health. Therefore, consult a doctor before consuming Viagra.
