Men all over the world have used generic Viagra to overcome their problems with erectile dysfunction. Even though it is considered by many to be a “miracle pill”, as with all sorts of medications, it is not recommended to mix it with large amounts of alcohol.
Men commonly feel they need a drink to “set the mood” before sexual intimacy. Different studies all over the world have proven that alcohol loosens people’s inhibitions, in the case of couples it relaxes them and puts them in a romantic mood. If you have impotence problems and are currently taking generic Viagra, don’t worry: you can still enjoy a drink or two. Do take into consideration that, as it happens with all medication, generic Viagra can have certain unwanted side effects, the most common being slight vertigo, facial flushing, headaches or stuffy nose. Studies have shown that this side effects can worsen if you drink too much. If you are incredibly dizzy and with a terrible headache, all you’d probably want to do is sleep or find a good doctor; probably not the night you had in mind.
However, as we all know, all excesses are bad: drinking too much might cause other side effects to appear or worsen the ones you are already experiencing. If large amounts of alcohol are consumed, it can even neutralize the effect of generic Viagra. There has been cases where men who are drinking heavily feel that the recommended dose of this medication doesn’t work, so they decided to take more, think that there’s a problem with the dose when in fact the problem is combining generic Viagra with alcohol. Taking more than the recommended dose not only will lead to an overdose but the combination of both the drug and alcohol could easily turn into a serious bleeding problems due to sildenafil citrate.
Sildenafil Citrate, generic Viagra’s chemical component, helps widen arteries and veins. This allows blood flow to increase and cause an erection. Sildenafil Citrate is considered a blood thinner, just like alcohol. Both these substances relax blood vessels so blood can flow properly. Combining both these substances can lead to over thinning of the blood, which can provoke severe bleeding and a hard time making it stop.
Though it’s rarely considered, in a few cases when single men take generic Viagra they feel over confident and start having casual sexual relationships. When you add alcohol into this, it can often lead to unprotected sex. If you’re not in a committed relationship, having unsafe sex could be extremely dangerous, increasing your chances of catching a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
Even though men sometimes think that combining alcohol and generic Viagra will enhance sexual performance, in reality things are quite opposite. Generic Viagra is the best treatment if you have erectile dysfunction, so make an effort and try to stay away from alcohol: this way, you get most out of this medication.
