Patient accounts – below are some patient reviews for medications containing Sildenafil:

“I started having trouble getting and maintaining an election so asked my doctor about the problem. He prescribed Viagra and it works great. One hour after taking 50mg I get a beautiful erection, sensitivity is good, climax is wonderful. My wife loves it and climaxes every time, sometimes twice. Side effects can be a flushed skin about an hour in and sometimes a bit of a headache (not severe, but there). Two Aspirin fix things. Wonderful product. Happy wife, happy life!”

“Yes, I achieved good erections after about 40 to 50 minutes and yes, I could repeat the experience a week or two later, however, the side effects drove me away from it.”

These reviews were taken from drugs.com. There are some side effects can occur in some men who use medicines containing Sildenafil. They usually aren’t serious and can be discussed with a doctor if they occur.
