Why should Seniors take Viagra for ED?

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability of a man to maintain a firm erection long enough to have sex. Although erectile dysfunction is more common in older men, this common problem can occur at any age. Having trouble maintaining an erection from time to time isn’t necessarily a cause for concern. But if the problem is ongoing, it can cause stress and relationship problems and affect self-esteem.

Viagra

VIAGRA is the most prescribed oral medicine for erectile dysfunction (ED). Worldwide, it has helped 25 million men with ED improve their erections.
• VIAGRA has an established safety profile of more than 10 years
• VIAGRA works for most men with ED
• VIAGRA is safe for men with ED who have certain other conditions

Getting an erection is only part of the story

Guys agree. In a global survey, men identified 3 of the most important elements of a satisfying sexual experience: hardness, timing, and the ability to maintain an erection. VIAGRA can help with all 3.

Find out if VIAGRA is right for you. Speak to your doctor. He can tell you if you have ED. And can recommend an effective treatment like VIAGRA or another FDA approved ED medication such as Cialis or Levitra.

How to Use Viagra as a Senior

Get the smallest dosage recommended by your doctor. Talk with your physician before you start taking Viagra, and don’t take more Viagra than your doctor has prescribed. Viagra comes in 25-, 50-, and 100-mg tablets. Getting the smallest dosage as a senior can help lower your risk of adverse side effects.

Beware of using Viagra as a senior if you are taking medications that contain nitrates like nitroglycerin. If these drugs are taken together, they can lower your blood pressure too much.

If you have a history of heart attack, stroke, high or low blood pressure, heart failure or eye disorders, you should strongly consider not taking Viagra. No studies have been conducted on many of these health-risk groups, so there is no firm research as to whether you should be taking Viagra if you fall under any of these categories.

Contact your doctor if you get an erection that lasts more than 4 hours while taking Viagra. Prolonged erections are rare while taking Viagra, but they can happen and can be the sign of threatening health issues.

Sex is Important to Everyone

Sex is important to many seniors into their 80s and 90s, and they work to enjoy it even if illness or other problems get in the way.

Many older people have sex regularly, usually as often as younger people do. There is an internal drive or need for sexual fulfillment.

The prevalence of sexual activity declines with age, yet a substantial number of men and women engage in vaginal intercourse, oral sex, and masturbation even in the eighth and ninth decades of life.
