Info: Viagra, also known by its generic name Sildenafil, is a medication primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow to the penis. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which allows for increased blood flow and improved erectile function. Some individuals have speculated that Viagra might enhance athletic performance by improving blood flow to muscles, potentially leading to improved endurance or oxygen delivery. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support these claims. The primary effects of Viagra are related to its role in promoting blood flow to specific areas of the body, such as the genitals.
 

Effects:

Mechanism of Action: Viagra's primary mechanism of action is to increase blood flow by targeting the PDE5 enzyme. While improved blood circulation can have benefits in various contexts, such as aiding in muscle recovery and nutrient delivery, the primary effects of Viagra are related to the erectile response and not muscle growth.

Muscle Growth: Bodybuilding involves a complex interplay of factors, including proper training, nutrition, rest, and potentially supplements. Viagra does not directly impact muscle growth, protein synthesis, or other processes that contribute to building muscle mass.

Exercise Performance: Some athletes and bodybuilders have explored the potential use of Viagra to enhance exercise performance due to its vasodilatory effects. The idea is that increased blood flow could improve oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles, potentially leading to better endurance. However, scientific evidence supporting this use is limited, and Viagra is not recommended for this purpose.

Pulmonary Hypertension: Sildenafil was originally developed as a treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. It works by relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs, reducing the workload on the heart, and improving exercise capacity in people with PAH.
 

Adverse Effects:

Priapism: This is a prolonged erection that lasts for more than four hours and can be painful. 

Sudden Hearing Loss or Ringing in Ears: In rare cases, there have been reports of sudden hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ears) associated with the use of Viagra.

Vision Changes: While rare, some individuals may experience sudden vision loss or changes in vision. 

Cardiovascular Effects: Viagra can lower blood pressure, and using it in combination with certain medications or recreational drugs (e.g., nitroglycerin, nitrates, alpha-blockers) can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure, causing dizziness, fainting, or even heart attack or stroke.
 

Dosage and Duration:

The standard starting dose of Viagra is often 50mg, taken approximately 1 hour before sexual activity. This dose can be adjusted based on the individual's response and tolerability. The dosage can range from 25mg to 100mg, depending on the person's needs and how well they respond to the medication. The 20mg dosage you mentioned might not be a standard dosage for Viagra.

The effects of Viagra typically last around 4 to 6 hours. However, the duration can vary from person to person. It's important to note that the medication doesn't cause a constant erection but rather helps achieve and maintain an erection when sexual stimulation is present.
 

Combination with Other Drugs:

Consider using a combination of Viagra (Sildenafil) with Nitrates, Alpha-Blockers, Other Erectile Dysfunction Medications, Blood Pressure Medications, Certain Antibiotics and Antifungal Medications, Protease Inhibitors, Recreational Drugs.
