HOW LONG VIAGRA LAST?

Viagra (generic name sildenafil) is a medication used to treat men who have trouble getting an erection, a condition called erectile dysfunction or impotence.

One of the issues regarding the use of Viagra is the time and duration of its effectiveness. This is a major consideration when using Viagra because the pill is not cheap and you can only take it once a day. This means, once you take a Viagra, you have to make sure that you will be able to use it during the drug's timeframe to take advantage of its effects. Otherwise, the pill was taken in vain. However, what others fail to realize is that while there is a standard duration time for Viagra, other factors affect this as well.

Many people wonder, "How long does Viagra last?" In most people, Viagra lasts for about four hours. Generally, it starts to lose its effectiveness after a couple of hours. There are a number of factors that can increase or decrease how long Viagra lasts. Some factors that increase the amount of time Viagra stays in the body include being over 65 years old, having severe kidney disease, and taking certain other medicines. Among the factors that can decrease how long Viagra lasts are taking it with a high-fat meal or certain other medicines, such as rifampin.

However, there are also factors that affect how long the effects of the Viagra last. Age affects how long the effects of Viagra last. If you are relatively young, the effects of Viagra will last longer -- for about two to five hours. The effects of Viagra will also be more pronounced with younger men despite taking a lower dosage of the pill. For older men however -- those over 65 years of age -- the effects will probably last for about a maximum of two hours. Unfortunately, older men cannot take larger dosage of Viagra because there is a chance that they will suffer some side effects due to their old age. Kidney and liver conditions also alter the duration time of the effects of the Viagra. Another erectile dysfunction drug in the market, Cialis, is said to have longer results and duration time than Viagra and another erectile dysfunction drug, Levitra. However, because the drug stays in the blood stream for a longer time, its side effects are more pronounced and will probably last longer.

The time it takes for Viagra to start working will also vary based on the individual. In clinical studies, Viagra began to work in as little as 14 minutes. For most people, though, it began working within 30 minutes.
