Viagra is an ED medication that usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours before its effects start to diminish. The effects of Viagra can last as long as 5 hours depending on the dosage, the body’s metabolism, age, and health condition.
Viagra contains an active ingredient sildenafil citrate which needs time to dissolve and enter the bloodstream. Depending on your body’s metabolism and dosage, you may be able to get erections several times with Viagra. Viagra does not help in premature ejaculation but allows you to have sexual intercourse several times after a certain time gap.
For some Viagra may not be the best choice as it contains sildenafil citrate. If you have any allergies to sildenafil citrate it is best to avoid Viagra and use other drugs such as Vilitra, Vidalista, Tadalista, or Tadarise.
