Oral Prescription Viagra
Friday, December 19th, 2008Treatment of Physical Causes of ED ED is treatable at any age, a fact that is gaining increasing awareness and acceptance. More men have been seeking help and returning to normal sexual activity because of improved, successful treatments for ED. In approximately 95% of the cases, an effective treatment can be found. What follows are the many treatments available that can improve or return normal sexual function.
Oral Prescription Medications
Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Enzyme Inhibitors (PDE5) – These medications do not directly cause an erection of the penis, but they alter the body’s response to sexual stimulation by enhancing the effect of the nitric oxide, a chemical that is normally released during stimulation. Nitric oxide causes relaxation of the muscles in the penis, which allows for better blood flow to the penile area. Currently there are three oral phosphodiesterase enzyme inhibitors are used to treat erectile dysfunction – Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis . Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis vary in dosage, duration of effectiveness, and possible side effects. All three drugs are generally well tolerated. They are often a good choice for men at any age and in any ethnic group who are in good health and who do not have conditions that preclude taking it (such as the use of nitrates or alpha-blockers). The success rates of all three drugs vary between 70% and 90%. A short pause for a little humor… In pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and a generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of acetaminophen. Aleve is naproxen; Amoxil is amoxicillin; and Advil is ibuprofen. The Food and Drug Administration has been looking for a generic name for Pfizer’s “Viagra”; slidenafil citrate, 25 mg or 50 mg or 100 mg. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of mycoxafloppin . Also considered were mycoxafallin, mydixadud, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, dixafix and ibepokin . Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously, we can no longer call this a soft drink and it gives new meaning to the names of “cocktails,” “highballs,” and just good old fashioned “stiff drinks.” Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of “Mount & Do.”
