What Is Erectile Dysfunction? By Jury11 Davidov11 Viagra is the brand name of the generic drug called Sildenafil citrate to treat the problem of erectile dysfunction or impotency in men. Viagra is developed by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer and was released into the market in the march of 1998. Viagra created quite a stir because it is the first of its kind approved by the US food and drug administration to treat male impotency. Being the only pill in the market for dysfunction, Viagra was a huge success all around the world with the sales exceeding $1 billion during 1999-2001. The name Viagra became so popular that many other companies released their drugs with names like ‘herbal Viagra’ and tried to imitate the blue color and diamond shape of the original Viagra.
Erection in the penis occurs due to the rushing of blood into the penis. When the incoming blood flow increases and the outgoing blood flow decreases, the erection is sustained. Normally when a person is sexually stimulated, it leads to a signal to the brain which then signals the parasympathetic nervous system to production and release nitric oxide into the corpora cavernosa of the penis. Nitric oxide binds and activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase, which in turn causes the creation of increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). This cGMP leads to smooth muscle relaxation (vasodilation) in the corpora cavernosa which increases the rush of blood flow and eventually an erection. It is this cGMP that affects the blood flow coming and going out of the penis. Sildenafil or Viagra is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is highly responsible for the degradation of cGMP in the corpora cavernosa. Thus Viagra prevents the demolition of cGMP and allows cGMP to persist longer. The longer the cGMP persists, the longer the duration of the erection. The affect of sildenafil stays for almost 4 hours after taking the pill. The molecular structure of Viagra is as same as that of cGMP and performs the competitive binding mediator role of PDE5 in the corpora cavernosa, resulting in more cGMP. Viagra is effective only when there is enough sexual stimulation, without which there is not production or activation of Nitric oxide and there by cGMP. Tadalafil (Cialis) and Vardenafil (Levitra) operate in the same manner as Viagra. Sildenafil is properly metabolized by hepatic enzymes. It is excreted by
both the liver and kidneys. It is generally taken one hour before intercourse on an empty stomach. Taking it along with heavy foods may delay the absorption of sildenafil. Even the top most effect might be reduced due to the lowering of plasma concentration. Sildenafil reduces the pressure in the pulmonary arteries in a condition called pulmonary arterial hypertension. It is also used for the prevention and treatment of high altitude pulmonary edema linked with altitude sickness. Sildenafil is also used as an aphrodisiac, for recreational purposes, and for prevention of plant wilting. Men of all ages can take Viagra, but it is generally not necessary for younger men. Men above the age of 50 have less libido and other age-related issues like diabetes, hypertension, heart diseases, depression and other habits like smoking and alcohol which makes Viagra more usable by them. Viagra is available in dosages of 25, 50, 100 mg and is a blue in color, diamond shaped pill. It is reported to have a highly successful rate of 70% among men of 65 years and above. Men who are on some or the other kind of medications reported less satisfaction, nonetheless Viagra is a no nonsense oral drug which has few side affects and therefore is highly successful all around the world. Couples must need to be careful regarding the sexually transmitted diseases while having intercourse.
