Viagra Abuse: Don’t Put Your Health in Peril

Back in 1998, after Viagra appeared on the market (making a revolutionary splash), a boatload of healthcare professionals were worried about the blatant cases of abuse of this “spellful” drug. Patients used it in quantities that were bigger than sanctioned ones. Situation has not changed since the date of the reports.

The key risk of using increased dosages of Viagra is overdose, and, subsequently, the possibility of more severe side effects occurrence. It’s known that the most frequent sides of the drug include:

• headaches* (probably the most widespread unwished effect);
• feeling dizzy;
• blurred vision, cyanopsy (impaired color perception when a patient begins to see everything in blue);
• hot face flashes;
• nasal congestion;
• nausea, dyspepsia, other gastrointestinal problems.

Contrary to popular belief, prolonged erection and priapism are not frequent occurrences when treating with Viagra. The medicine can also cause other unhealthinesses (like memory problems, ringing in the ears and hearing loss), however, they are typically rare.

However, in case of overdosage the abovementioned undesirable effects may be much severer

The most optimal dose of the medication is 50mg.

Many older drug users may unconsciously mix heart medications with impotence pills, which can lead to other health complications. When using very high dosages of the drug, the consequences can be unpredictable.

Viagra as a drug to improve penile erection is a very popular product, which occupies a permanent place in the lives of some party lovers.

Viagra may be combined with narcotics when used recreationally.

Moreover, males with recently diagnosed the human immunodeficiency virus more often use Viagra than non-infected fellows.
