Sildenafil, marketed under the brand name Viagra, is a drug owned by the Pfizer Corporation used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), or the inability to sustain an erection through intercourse. Roughly one in ten Australian men are unable to achieve an erection with the percentage increasing with age. While cultural stereotypes persist, statistics show that less than 20% of reported cases of ED have a psychological cause, with the primary issue being depression, meaning that 80% of all ED cases have a physical cause. Studies have linked the physical causes of ED primarily to diabetes, cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Despite such a large proportion of ED cases being caused by physical issues, only about 10% of Australian men seek help for their ED with a medical professional.

Viagra works by increasing blood flow by relaxing the targeted blood vessels. It does this by inhibiting an enzyme that regulates blood flow to the penis. It’s recommended that you take Viagra between 30-60 minutes before sexual activity and it can last anywhere between 2-3 hours after you’ve taken it. Roughly 48% of all Viagra users report suffering from at least one side effect. Side effects can include headache, flushing, indigestion, nasal congestion and impaired vision. Rarely, patients can suffer severe low blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and sudden hearing loss all usually preceded by a prolonged erection lasting over 4-6 hours.
Despite the low cost and relatively minor side-effects, most Australian men don’t get treated, with men aged 65 or older being the least likely to seek treatment options for ED. While there could be many reasons for this, the most commonly associated ones are: men not being bothered by ED, doctors being unwilling to write prescriptions, the long term cost of Viagra and embarrassment. Though these statistics only hold true based on prescriptions for Viagra, not online purchases.
Though you need a prescription to purchase Viagra from a pharmacy in Australia, there are several options to purchase the drug online. Websites ranging in reputability from extremely trustworthy to very iffy will send you a shipment of Viagra for as little as $1.33/pill, though many websites that claim to sell Viagra online are actually selling potentially fake pills. Websites that claim to be selling “herbal Viagra” are scams as the FDA has never approved any form of “herbal Viagra.” One of the best ways to make sure you’re getting legitimate Viagra, is to make sure the website you’re purchasing from is accredited.
While only 10% of Australian men seek medical treatment for ED, and with about 48% of all Viagra users reporting at least one side effect, only 1% of the users ever stop taking Viagra. Moreover, nearly all Viagra users report positive experiences with the drug and a more satisfying sex life. With almost 80% of all ED cases having physical causes, it’s important that Australian society encourage men to consult their medical professionals as soon as they start experiencing symptoms.
