Recently a case has come to the fore. A Nagpur man consumed two Viagra tablets with alcohol. His health deteriorated a few hours after taking the pills. He died before going to the hospital. The cause of death was the quantity of Viagra pills and consumption of alcohol. A blood clot had formed in his brain, due to which he died. Various things are done about Viagra and it has always been considered medicine to increase sexual power, but it has many uses.
It can be considered a myth that Viagra is only for men. Women can also use it, but just the method is different. We spoke to IVF Specialist, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist Dr Archana Dhawan Bajaj to know the facts related to Viagra. Dr Archana told us about it in detail and also made us aware of some myths.
What is Viagra?
If we talk about Viagra in the language of medical science, then it is used to speed up blood circulation in any part of the body. It is commonly used for erectile dysfunction. It can also increase the blood supply to the penile muscles.
Although Viagra is considered a safe drug, its dosage should be between 25 mg to 100 mg. Viagra can be very risky if it is more than this.
What are the dangers of Viagra?
If someone already has heart disease, hypertension or any other type of cardiovascular disorder, then taking Viagra can be dangerous. Especially if Viagra is taken with alcohol, it can cause hypotension in some patients, causing a sudden drop in blood pressure. In some, it can cause hypertension, due to which the blood pressure increases immediately.
If heart disease is a very serious condition, then it can also affect the blood supply. This can lead to sudden heart attacks or brain clots in some people. Perhaps this is the reason why that person from Nagpur died due to Viagra.
Can Viagra be taken with alcohol?
Viagra can still be taken if there is a small amount of alcohol. A Viagra pill with one or two units of alcohol usually doesn't bother. But if this quantity increases then very serious problems can occur.
Can women use Viagra?
In this matter, Archana ji told us that it is a common myth that Viagra is only for men. Viagra is used to increase libido and can be used by both men and women. Women are also sometimes given Viagra on doctor's prescription to increase endometrial thickness.
Viagra is also used in women's bodies to reach the blood supply to the uterus. Yes, you must limit its dosage or take it only after getting a doctor's prescription.
Viagra is also easily available without a prescription. That is why it can be misused. Viagra can also cause problems like palpitation. You need to understand that it is a kind of drug which is not right to eat just for pleasure. Before eating it, it is important to know how it can affect your body.
