What exactly is Viagra (and how does it work)?
Viagra is the brand name of the prescription medication containing the active ingredient sildenafil citrate. This medication belongs to the PDE5 inhibitor class and was specifically developed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men.
The way Viagra works is based on a simple but effective principle:
- It blocks the enzyme PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) that normally restricts blood flow to the penis
- During sexual stimulation, this ensures improved blood flow to the erectile tissues in the penis
- This increased blood flow helps you get and maintain an erection
- The drug works only in the presence of sexual stimulation and not as a spontaneous stimulant
Important to know: Viagra does not solve the underlying causes of erectile problems, but does provide temporary support for erectile function.
Viagra without a prescription – is that possible?
Many internet searches revolve around "Viagra without a prescription" or "order Viagra online without a prescription." Let's be clear about the legal situation:
- In both the Netherlands and Belgium, Viagra is a prescription-only medicine
- It is not legally allowed to buy Viagra without a valid prescription from a doctor
- Online providers who sell Viagra without a prescription are operating illegally
Why is this important for you to know?
- Health risks : Products offered without a prescription are often counterfeit products with unknown ingredients.
- Identity Theft : Dubious websites can misuse your personal and financial information
- Legal consequences : Buying prescription drugs without a prescription is a criminal offense
Good news: natural supplements like Vaud's Male Support are legally available without a prescription. They offer a safe alternative for men seeking support without a prescription.
Is Viagra Dangerous or Bad for You?
When used correctly under medical supervision, Viagra is a safe option for many men. However, it's important to be well-informed about possible side effects:
Common side effects:
- Headache (occurs in 15-20% of users)
- Blushing and hot flashes
- Gastrointestinal complaints or indigestion
- Stuffy nose or runny nose
- Dizziness or mild visual disturbances
Important warnings:
- Viagra must absolutely not be combined with nitrates (medicines against angina pectoris)
- When using certain blood pressure lowering drugs, a dangerous drop in blood pressure can occur
- Men with cardiovascular disease should be extra careful
For healthy men, Viagra is generally safe when used correctly, but a prior medical consultation is always required to rule out personal risks.
How much does Viagra cost?
The price of Viagra can vary significantly depending on where you buy it and whether you choose the original brand or a generic version:
- Original Viagra from manufacturer Pfizer: average €7 to €10 per tablet
- Generic sildenafil: from €4 to €7 per tablet
- Prices in online pharmacies can sometimes be slightly lower than in physical pharmacies
Consider these factors:
- In most cases, Viagra is not covered by basic insurance
- Supplementary insurance sometimes reimburses a limited number of pills per year
- With regular use, costs can rise significantly
For many men, price is an important consideration, especially when regular support is required. This makes natural alternatives like Male Support more financially attractive, especially for long-term use.
Where can you buy Viagra (safely)?
For your safety and health, it is crucial to obtain Viagra only through legal channels:
Yes, safe and legal:
- Regular pharmacies, upon presentation of a valid prescription
- Online pharmacies with EU verification, provided you have a valid prescription
- Via a teleconsultation with a recognized physician followed by delivery from a registered pharmacy
Not legal or safe:
- Kruidvat, Etos, drugstores or supermarkets (do not sell Viagra)
- Unregistered web shops or marketplaces
- Via-via offers or "under the counter" sales
Important: Always check whether an online provider has the EU logo for registered pharmacies and whether a Dutch telephone number and physical address are listed.
What are the experiences with Viagra?
Experiences with Viagra vary, but the general picture is as follows:
Positive experiences:
- Many men report a significant improvement in erection quality
- The effect is usually reliable and predictable
- The effect usually occurs within 30-60 minutes
Less positive experiences:
- Some users experience unpleasant side effects
- The effect is not equally strong in all men
- Viagra works less well in cases of underlying psychological causes of erectile problems
A common misconception is that Viagra automatically leads to an erection. This isn't the case: it supports the natural erection process, but sexual stimulation remains necessary for the desired effect.
