VIAGRA 100

VIAGRA 100 is the original, brand-name medication containing Sildenafil Citrate (100 mg). This substance was the world's first oral treatment for effectively managing erectile dysfunction (ED). The 100 mg dosage is the maximum standard daily dose, intended for men who require a guaranteed and potent effect.

What is VIAGRA 100?

VIAGRA 100 is an oral medication developed by Pfizer, containing 100 mg of Sildenafil. It is indicated for the treatment of ED, which is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse.

1. Indication and target dosage

The 100 mg Sildenafil dose is the maximum recommended daily dose. VIAGRA 100 is suitable for men who:

• Did not achieve a sufficient therapeutic response from the initial 50 mg dose.

• Have moderate to severe ED, where 100 mg is necessary for a guaranteed response.

• Have good tolerability to Sildenafil.

2. Importance of the 100 mg dosage

100 mg is the dose that provides maximum Sildenafil efficacy. However, it is not the starting dose. Therapy is recommended to begin with 50 mg, and only if ineffective should you move to VIAGRA 100.

Mechanism of action of VIAGRA 100 (Sildenafil)

The mechanism of action of VIAGRA 100 is based on Sildenafil being a potent PDE5 enzyme inhibitor.

1. Trigger: Sexual arousal causes the release of nitric oxide (NO).

2. Erectile Cycle: NO stimulates the formation of cyclic GMP (cGMP), which relaxes the smooth muscles of the penile blood vessels, ensuring a powerful blood flow.

3. PDE5 Blockade: Sildenafil 100 mg blocks the enzyme that degrades cGMP. Blocking this enzyme allows cGMP to maintain a high concentration, leading to the enhancement and stabilization of the erection.

Key takeaway: VIAGRA 100 affects only the physiology. Sexual arousal is required for the effect to occur.

Instructions for using VIAGRA 100

Strict adherence to the rules for taking VIAGRA 100 is necessary for safety and efficacy.

1. Dosage and timing of intake

• Dosage: 100 mg (one tablet) – is the maximum daily dose. It is strictly prohibited to take more than 100 mg within 24 hours.

• Method: The tablet should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water.

• Timing: Take 45–60 minutes before planned sexual activity. The effect lasts 4–6 hours.

2. Influence of food and alcohol

• Food: Taking VIAGRA 100 with a heavy, fatty meal can significantly delay the onset of action. For the quickest effect, taking it on an empty stomach is recommended.

• Alcohol: It is not recommended to combine Sildenafil intake with excessive amounts of alcohol, as this can enhance the vasodilating effect and increase the risk of headaches and hypotension.

Critical contraindications

The list of contraindications must be reviewed with a doctor before initiating therapy.

• Interaction with Nitrates: Absolutely forbidden! Taking VIAGRA 100 with any form of organic nitrates (Nitroglycerin) or nitric oxide donors ("poppers") causes a life-threatening drop in blood pressure.

• Severe Cardiovascular Diseases: Recent myocardial infarction or stroke (within 6 months), unstable angina, severe heart failure.

• Blood Pressure: Persistent hypotension (pressure < 90/50 mmHg) or uncontrolled hypertension.

• Liver and Kidneys: Severe hepatic or renal failure.

• Eyes: Hereditary degenerative retinal diseases (retinitis pigmentosa).

Side effects of VIAGRA 100 (Increased Risk)

At the 100 mg dose, side effects are more frequent and can be more pronounced than at 50 mg.

• Common: Headache (the most frequent effect), facial flushing, nasal congestion, dyspepsia.

• Less Common: Visual disturbances (temporary change in color perception, "blue haze"), dizziness.

Immediate medical attention is required for: An erection that lasts longer than 4 hours (priapism), or sudden loss of vision/hearing.

Professional advice on using VIAGRA 100

1. Pill Splitting: The VIAGRA 100 tablet can be split in half. This allows you to start intake with 50 mg (if you are a new user) or use 50 mg if 100 mg causes undesirable side effects.

2. Hydration: To minimize headaches, drinking enough water on the day of intake is recommended.

3. Avoid Grapefruit: Grapefruit juice can increase the concentration of Sildenafil in the blood, enhancing side effects.

VIAGRA 100: Extended Q&A section

• Why should I not start with VIAGRA 100? Starting with the maximum dose is not advisable, as 50 mg is often sufficient but with a lower risk of side effects.

• How long does VIAGRA 100 last? The effect of 100 mg Sildenafil lasts for an average of 4-6 hours.

• Does VIAGRA 100 prolong sexual intercourse? No. Sildenafil is intended only for ED treatment and does not affect the time to ejaculation.
