A lot of people feel that lifestyle drugs should not be promoted and advertised as aggressively as it is being done in the last few years. What was natural and accepted earlier as a part of aging process is now being reversed through number of drug therapies. This may result in various side effects that can be more harmful than helpful.
One of the most popular lifestyle drugs is Viagra. The chemical name for Viagra is sildenafil citrate. There are many controversies over Viagra, the lifestyle drug, which is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Many feel that Pfizer which markets Viagra has cleverly positioned Viagra not only for people who suffer from erectile dysfunction due to diabetes and other medical reasons but also for people who want to feel good or suffer from erectile dysfunction sometimes, which is a normal condition.
Pfizer aggressively marketed Viagra and raised awareness amongst people about erectile dysfunction. Most of the sexual problems were kept under covers till the launch of Viagra. Pfizer educated people about sexual dysfunction and made them talk about it and discuss there problem with the doctor so that they could get medication for erectile dysfunction. Pfizer had turned Viagra into a consumer product.
The success of Viagra saw other players in the market too. Levitra and Cialis were successively launched into the market. Both these drugs claimed to be better than Viagra. Cialis took over the market and became a serious contender to Viagra. Viagra has been the best selling drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and brings a big chunk of revenue for Pfizer.
Viagra not only helped revolutionized the treatment of erectile dysfunction but also helped mushrooming of many internet pharmacies The problem of sexual dysfunction in men or in medical terms erectile dysfunction, and the discomfort of most men to talk about it, internet pharmacies became a convenient way to buy Viagra.
Viagra is a prescription pill and should in no circumstances be taken without the approval of a physician. Sharing someone’s prescription should not be done as erectile dysfunction could have various reasons. It is also extremely important to share all the details of the medications one is taking and other health problems with the doctor before one can use Viagra. Viagra though is generally well tolerated. Viagra should not be taken with any form on nitrates.
