  1. What's alarming now is that, among 75% treated, only 25% are cured. Are they not using any of those effective ED drugs like brand Viagra, Cialis or Levitra?

  2. Viagra is a prescription medication for ED that needs to be taken under a qualified doctor or health care professional’s supervision. Research also shows that Viagra is usually well tolerated by most patients, even those with heart problems. However, as each patient is different, it's important that they speak to their doctor about taking Viagra.
