Middle 50’s Male Increasing Difficulty in Getting and Keeping an Erection Should I Try Viagra?

Viagra Question

As a man in my mid-50s, I’ve experienced increasing difficulty in getting and keeping an erection. I think it’s only a matter of time before I will be dependent on an ED drug to get an erection hard enough for sex. I know that there are variations from one ED drug to another. Can I buy a single tablet of Viagra to see how it works for me? I don’t want to buy a number of pills, only to discover that they don’t work well or have bothersome side effects.

Answer

For the last few years, Pfizer has offered Viagra in single packs, which allow men who have not previously tried the drug to see how it works for them without paying for multiple pills that may not produce the desired results. Until recently, Viagra was the biggest selling erectile dysfunction drug worldwide, a clear indication that it works for the vast majority of men who are suffering from impotence caused by insufficient blood flow to the penis.

However, the fact remains that because of subtle differences in their active ingredients, some PDE5 inhibitors work better for some than others. And while the more common side effects of all ED drugs are generally mild, an individual might find that one drug causes more side effects than another.

So it pays to give all the ED drugs a chance before deciding which one works best for you.
