What is the first thing that comes to your mind whenever you hear about “Viagra”? If you are already familiar with it then you already know that it is a treatment pill for erectile dysfunction. With all the marketing campaigns done to sell the pill to the public, it has been primarily associated with better sexual performance.
While it cannot be denied that Viagra has been a very effective solution when it comes to improving one’s sexual life, its other benefits have been hidden behind its advertised effects. Hence, you could say that this pill is more than just a male libido enhancer.
Viagra for High blood Pressure
Did you know that generic Viagra was initially designed to treat hypertension? Yes, that’s right. The scientist behind it originally set its creation to regulate blood pressure and angina pectoris (in case you haven’t heard of it, it is an ischemic heart disease symptom). While it did have promising effects, it did little to control angina pectoris. However, scientists have found that the pill can induce penile erection which has led to its marketing.
Athletic Performance Enhancement
Viagra wasn’t meant to be a performance enhancement drug, but some athletes believe that taking the pill helps improve their energy levels and agility. Some studies have linked increased male libido to increased strength and endurance. Even though more studies should be done on this effect, it wouldn’t hurt to try it out for sports performance.
Better Life Motivation
Heart failure patients have taken Viagra were shown to be motivated. Evidence suggests that this may be the effect of penile erections men have experienced after taking generic Viagra. After all, a good sexual life usually helps a person become more motivated to live his life. Also, it is not uncommon for men who take Viagra every now-and-then to be in positive moods most of the time.
A Quick Note before Taking Viagra
Benefits that come with Viagra make it seem like a great solution to your physical problems. While there is nothing wrong with looking at the pill as if it’s your magic solution, you might want to consult your doctor before doing so. The drug may have side effects on individuals suffering from certain physical conditions. Also, it may not go well with medications you are currently taking.
Viagra is more than just a sexual enhancement pill. It can be taken for recreational and health purposes. But before you start the pill, you might want to get a Go-signal from your doctor to make sure nothing goes wrong.
