Viagra
USES

treat male sexual function problems (ED - erectile dysfunction).
HOW TO USE VIAGRA
Viagra is taken by mouth as needed between four hours and one-half
hour before sexual activity (about one hour before is most effective).
Take only as directed, usually once daily as needed. Sildenafil works
along with sexual stimulation to help achieve an erection.
