How It Works
Viagra 150 mg contains the ingredient Sildenafil Citrate that relaxes the muscles present in the walls of the blood vessels. It works by increasing the blood circulation to specific areas of the body, including the penis. When a person is sexually stimulated, Nitric Oxide is released into the penis. Nitric Oxide is responsible for the production of cGMP that controls the dilation and contraction of blood vessels. An enzyme known as PDE 5 destroys cGMP. Viagra 150 mg blocks the action of PDE 5 and allows cGMP to be produced properly. This allows the blood flow easily to the penis. As more and more blood flows to the penis, a pressure is created. Thus, an erection is achieved.
Uses
Viagra 120 mg is prescribed for the treatment of following problems:
- Erectile Dysfunction (ED) – a condition that causes an inability to achieve or sustain an erection making it difficult to have sexual intercourse.
- Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) – high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs and the heart.
Dosage
Viagra 150 mg pill is a recommended treatment for men diagnosed with erectile dysfunction. The dose is determined as per individual diagnosis and prescription by the doctor. The medication should be taken on an empty stomach for it to dissolve faster into the system. When taken as per directions, the medicine starts showing effects within 30 minutes and helps get strong undying erections that last longer. The effects of the medicine stay up to 4-5 hours.
