Who Should Take Viagra?
Viagra is prescribed for patients who have erectile dysfunction (ED) or pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). If you are having trouble getting or maintaining an erection during sexual arousal, then Viagra may help you. Consult your doctor or health care provider for a medical advice before taking Viagra to make sure that it's safe and helpful for you to take this medication.
However, there are many men, especially younger men having no ED or PAH, who take Viagra as a recreational drug. In fact, Pfizer has been accused of encouraging the sale of Viagra to young men for recreational use.
Can I Buy Viagra Online?
Of course. However, be very careful when buying Viagra online because this product is one of the most favorite ones for scammers. Only order Viagra online from a good, trusted online pharmacy that has an official/governmental verification license. For example, online drugstores that have a valid PharmacyChecker.com ID should be considered reputable online pharmacies, and so trustworthy.
How Much Does Viagra Cost Online?
Viagra isn't cheap! You only see stunningly very low Viagra prices on fake pharmacy sites.
The cost of Viagra is not fixed and it varies from one online pharmacy to another depending on different factors.
For example, at some pharmacies you get an online prescription, medical consultation, worldwide express shipping or next day delivery, and other offers for free. But the fact is, it's not really free. The cost of all those services is included in the price of the drug, which should make the price go higher.
The price also depends on the dosage and quantity you order. Usually the bigger quantity you order, the lower price you get per Viagra tablet.
Normally, you should expect Viagra to cost somewhere between $10 and $30 USD per tablet.
You may also get a bit surprised to see that at some pharmacies Viagra tablets with different dosages are sold at the same price. This is a good thing as you can buy pills with a higher dosage than you need (e.g. 100 mg) and cut them in half to save yourself some money :)
Can I Buy Viagra Without Prescription?
Even though you can buy authentic (genuine) Viagra with no prescription at some places online, it's not recommended to take Viagra without consulting a doctor first. Viagra contains chemicals that may have interactions with other medications you take and that may involve serious health risk. Your age, current health conditions, past health history and other issues should be discussed with a physician before taking Viagra.
You don't always have to get a pre-prescription in order to buy Viagra on the internet, because some online pharmacies have their own team of doctors and specialists who can help you fill an online prescription and get online/through-the-phone medical consultation. Some online pharmacies include these medical services automatically with your order by including the costs in the drug's price.
What Dosage of Viagra Should I Take?
Viagra comes in three doses: 25, 50 and 100 milligrams (mg).
Each body responds in a different way to medications, and so if a 25 mg pill works perfectly for someone, that doesn't mean it will work the same way for others. Usually your doctor will ask you to start with a low dosage (25 or 50 mg) and see how effective it works. If the low dosage didn't give you the results you were looking for then you can try a higher dosage and see how that goes. Following your prescription's directions should give you the best results.
Most men who use Viagra report that the 50 mg pill works the best for them. Anyway, increasing the dosage doesn't always mean better results. For example, if the 50 mg dose gives you satisfying results, you may not notice any difference if you take a higher dosage.
Some men also prefer to purchase 100 mg Viagra and cut the pills into two halves, each for a different occasion. This way they can save some (or maybe lot's of) money.
