How Viagra Works?

Mechanism of action of Viagra - How Viagra Works?

When a man is aroused, nerve signals are sent from a brain to the penis. This nerve signals releases chemicals (cGMP), which in turn relaxes muscle in the penis. When these muscles relax, large amount of blood enters the penis, causing an erection. In a man with Erectile dysfunction, another chemical called Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5) breaks down the the chemical used to relax the muscles (cGMP) and thus does not allow the blood to flow to penis and in turn cannot maintain an erection.

So if any how the PDE 5 chemical is inhibited the level of chemical cGMP would be increased and thus muscle relaxation in penis would be normal and thus more blood will flow to penis and a man could maintain an erection for longer period. This is where Viagra or Sildenafil Citrate comes into the picture.

Viagra (Sildenafil) works by blocking PDE 5. When PDE 5 is blocked the level of cGMP chemical is increased which causes more blood flow to penis and thus allows man to maintain erection for longer period.

One thing has to be very clear that, Viagra does not work without sexual stimulation or excitement. The chemicals that causes an erection has to be released into the penis and they are released only when a man is sexually aroused. Viagra does not help in releasing this chemicals it only helps in maintaining this chemicals for longer period.

Viagra once taken orally its effects begins within 15 to 30 minutes and lasts at least for 4 hours.

Viagra (Sildenafil Citrate)

What is Viagra (Sildenafil)?

Viagra or Sildenafil Citrate is a drug used for men to treat erectile dysfunction or Impotence. It is developed and brought to the market by Pharmaceutical company called Pfizer. It is available since 1998 and is the prime treatment for erectile dysfunction or impotence. Its competitors are Cialis and Levitra.

Looking into the history of Viagra in 1986 Pfizer found that by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5) there can be many benefits for people suffering from inadequate blood supplies to the heart or angina. In 1989, they found that Sildenafil citrate powerfully inhibited PDE 5. Thus sildenafil was found to be used for inhibiting PDE 5 and thus help coronary arteries to dilate and ease angina symptoms and avoid platelets to avoid sticking to the surface of damaged arteries where they might even trigger heart attacks.

However with the use of Sildenafil in males some unusual finding were reported, many reported a marked increase in getting erections.

Thus after carrying our further studies and testing on men with erectile dysfunction, it was proved that a single dose of Sildenafil (Viagra) could prmote erections in men who previously had problems of getting erections.

Finally in March 1998, Viagra was introduced as the first oral medication for the treatment of erectily dysfunction or impotence.

In period 1999-2001, the sales of Viagra exceeded the milestone of $1 Billion.

Precautions for Swine Flu in Pregnancy

2009-11-24T00:16:00.000-08:00

Young age people who are usually observed in groups and those who are not good at immunity are most vulnerable to swine flu virus. Yes, Pregnant women are most susceptible to swine flu infections as their immune system in naturally suppressed in pregnancy. The evidence that influenza can be more severe in pregnant women is available from observations during previous pandemics and from studies among pregnant women who had seasonal influenza.

Most pregnant women will have similar symptoms as most of the people have during swine flu. However, pregnant women have an increased risk of complications fron any type of flu, because of their suppressed immune system. Some possible complications are pneumonia, difficulty breathing and dehydration more likely to happen in second or third month. There is however small chance that such complications may lead to premature birth or miscarriage.

Some precautions for swine flu during pregnancy:

Avoid unnecessary travel
Minimize contacts with sick individuals.
Avoid crowds where ever possible
Follow general hygiene advice, read general precautions for swine flu.
Always be in contact with doctor if you have any of the symptoms of swine flu or even if any of your family member has swine flu.
One should go on antiviral drugs only if doctor prescribes.

Pregnant women with influenza or H1N1 should receive empiric antiviral treatment. The drug of choice for treatment of pregnant women is oseltamivir i.e. Tamiflu. Treatment should ideally not be delayed. It should be initiated as soon as possible after the onset of influenza symptoms. It would be of greatest benefit if it is started within 48 hours of onset. Also this does not mean each and every women during pregnancy should immediately start taking Tamiflu if found symptoms of virus. But they should immediately contact doctor consult with them and they will surely prescribe Tamiflu if you have any kind of influenza symptoms. Thus better is to reach to doctor before 24 hours of onset of symptoms and start treatment Tamiflu before 48 hours if prescribed by doctor.

Infants are thought to be at higher risk for severe illness from novel influenza A (H1N1) infection as well and very little is known about prevention of novel H1N1 flu infection in infants. Infants who are not breastfeeding are more vulnerable to infection than infants who are breastfeeding. Women who are not ill with influenza should be encouraged to initiate breastfeeding early and feed frequently. Avoid unnecessary supplementation, so infant can receive as much maternal antibodies as possible.

If possible only adults who are not sick should care of infants, including providing feedings. The risk of H1N1 transmission through breast milk is unknown, however the risk of virus crossing into breast milk is also probably rare.

Parents and caretakers should take some precautions to avoid spread of virus.

Follow general hygiene advice and cough etiquette all the time.
Keep infant away from persons who are ill
Keep infant away from crowded areas as well
Avoid or limit sharing of toys that have been in infant's mouths. If possible wash thoroughly with soap and water any items before the use for infant if they have to be in their mouths.

Why Erectile Dysfunction occurs?

2009-10-05T05:28:00.000-07:00

Most men have to face embarrassment when they cannot get an erection or cannot sustain erection. For most men it is temporary and can get an erection most of the times when they are sexually aroused. However for some men this problem is persistent and sometimes it is even observed to be recurring.

It can occur in any age but it becomes more common with increasing age. Erectile dysfunction is very common and it occurs for a various reasons at different ages.

Erectile dysfunction in young men (including teenagers):

The most common reason of erectile dysfunction in young men is anxiety, nervousness, and worries about having sex, about causing pregnancy or about using condoms. The last reason is very common and most young men complain that when they are trying to put condom on, they lose their stiffness.

Erectile dysfunction at middle age:

Common causes among middle age men is depression, guilt, stress, overwork or work pressure. There have been few cases observed due to diabetes.

Erection dysfunction at Old age:

In post middle age, ED is very natural and hence is very common. Almost 70% of 70 year old men are impotent. The reason is very basic and clear that it is mostly due to deterioration in the blood vessels that carry blood to penis.

Erectile Dysfunction (Impotency)

2009-10-01T01:10:00.000-07:00

The view point or awareness among the men about erectile dysfunction (ED) has improved in considerable amount nowadays. So many treatments and options are available to assure the successful intercourse. Few even think that new treatments for erection difficulty or impotency have significantly contributed in their life to enhance their sexual life.

What is erectile dysfunction (ED)?

Impotence or erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or sustain an erection to achieve satisfactory sexual intercourse. Achieving satisfactory erection is a very broad term and can vary among every individual. Some can't get a erection at all, others might get success in getting erection but it isn't firm enough to penetrate, while other cannot kept it erect for long time or may lose it easily.

ED or impotency is one of the most common sexual problems arising in world and affects around 3 million men in the UK. Usually it becomes more common and severe as men get old; usually 50% of all men over 40 experience it at some point in their lives. This usually creates problem with their partners and it’s really disturbing to find that only one man in 10 seeks for help.

Erection and Impotency

An erection usually occurs when blood is pumped in penis and is retained there, making it erect and hard. It generally happens when a guy is thinking about sex, or by any means he is sexually aroused or stimulated. The signal is transmitted from brain to the genitals, which tells blood vessels that supply blood to penis to open up. The blood flows in and the organ blows up.

Usually getting erection has much to do with blood flow and brain, some process may interfere this process: for instance, worry, tiredness, alcohol, narrowing of blood vessels, etc. Usually nicotine narrows those blood vessels and so erectile dysfunction is most common among smokers.

There is a myth among people that person who develops ED is physically wrong. This is absolutely wrong belief and developing ED has nothing to do with being physically wrong.

The first batch of swine flue vaccine

2009-08-31T07:26:00.000-07:00

The first batch of swine flu vaccine have rolled out from Baxter Inc labs on 28 August, 2009 but there is little to cheer for many countries.

The first supply from Baxter went to British Health network and subsequenct batches from Baxter as well as from other pharmaceutical companies have been booked by two countries US & UK, which are actually stockpilling the vaccine.

Whooping 195 million doses of this vaccine is been booked by US while 90 million doses in being booked by UK. Many other countries are miles away from booking vaccines for swine flu.

WHO recently commented that countries from nothern hemisphere alone have ordered some where around 1 billion doses of vaccine which will certainly results into shortage among other countries.

China has booked 10 million doses from Sinovac Biotech, while France have booked somewhere around 94 million doses. Mexico figured to somewhere 40 million and India yet to book a single dose. India has been 3rd highest in number of deaths due to swine flu. Indian firms are unlikely to produce vaccine before May next year.

Similarly many other countries are still to book the vaccine. This will certainly lead to the great amount of shortage for the vaccine.

However, till then the existing solution will continued to be used for many countries. Tamiflu is being used at present to cure against swine flu and will be continued for some few months for some countries at least. To know more about Tamiflu please read Tamiflu Swine flu Medicine.

Swine flu vaccine

2009-08-13T02:53:00.000-07:00

The swine flu virus is totally a new virus and hence hardly there is any vaccine available to prevent infection. Apart from that the regular flu vaccine used will also not be useful in this case & will not provide protection against swine flu virus.

Lot of efforts are however are made to come up with swine flu vaccine. Recently CDC have provided a sample virus to several labs and manufacturers so that lots of pilot vaccine can be produced which can be tested to make sure they are effective as well as safe.

Also many have noted that swine flu vaccine will not be ready till November 2009. And this may get more delay due to certain circumstances as well.

The clinical trials of vaccines against swine flu have already been started in Australia, China, Germany, U.K, and U.S., according to WHO. Some of these vaccines could complete the process of regulatory approval and be ready for public use by may be next or in one or two month. India has not been producing flu vaccines. But now the most leading manufacturers in India (Serum Institute of India, Bharat Biotech and Panacea Biotec) are seeking to make the swine flu vaccine. But it looks that indigenous vaccine will not be ready for several months more, and even subsequently it may be available only in limited quantities.

Thus till then the option with people is to take as many as precautions as possible. Also consult doctors whenever they are suffering from fever or sore throat or any symptoms of swine flu. It is necessary for everyone to know and get aware about the precautions as well as symptoms of swine flu.

Also till we get vaccine in hand, there are other alternative as well like antiviral medicines. However many medicines drugs have been found not affecting on swine flu, thus need to be careful while suggesting or taking any antiviral medicines. Tamiflu has been the most hyped medicine used to control swine flu. Thus before taking Tamiflu read about it and Tamiflu dosage as well as buy only from the trusted source like Meds4all, 121doc, healthexpress, etc.

Swine flu medicine : Tamiflu

2009-08-12T00:32:00.000-07:00

Swine flu virus causing panic among people and continuously increasing the death toll need to be avoided. Every one should use general precautions to prevents spreading of swine flu virus but apart from that there are also other medicines used to help cure Influenza swine flu.

There are antiviral drugs which are actually prescription medicines with activity against influenza viruses, including the most hyped these days, swine flu viruses. Thus they can be used to treat swine flu or even prevent infection from it. These medicines need to be prescribed by health care professional. There are in total 4 antiviral drugs approved for use in US, they are:

oseltamivir
zanamivir
amantadine
rimatadine

The swine flu (influenza A : H1N1) virus that is detected in humans worldwide are resistant to amantadine and rimantadine so they will not work against these swine flu virus. Lab testing on this virus indicate that they are susceptible to oseltamivir and zanamivir.

The use of oseltamivir or zanamivir is recommended for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with swine influenza viruses.

Oseltamivir (brand name Tamiflu ®) is approved to both treat and prevent influenza A and B virus infection in people one year of age and older.
Zanamivir (brand name Relenza ®) is approved to treat influenza A and B virus infection in people 7 years and older and to prevent influenza A and B virus infection in people 5 years and older.

Among the above mentioned two medicines Tamiflu (oseltamivir) has been proved to be the best medicine for swine flu treatment.

How Tamiflu works:

Tamiflu capsules and suspension contain the active ingredient oseltamivir phosphate, which is also called a neuraminidase inhibitor in medical terms. Tamiflu Oseltamivir is used to treat and prevent infection with the influenza (flu) virus. Oseltamivir(Tamiflu) works by binding itself to the neuraminidase and stops it from working. When the neuraminidase helper is blocked the newly formed viral particles cannot be released from the infected cells. This prevents the flu virus from spreading and infecting other cells.

Brand Tamiflu:

Swiss-based Roche is a global network for the manufacture of Tamiflu (Oseltamivir). The active ingredient of Tamiflu that is Oseltamivir is thus used by many other manufacutrer (as per granted permission) as generic medicine for influenza.

Tamiflu Dosage:

TAMIFLU can be used a prescription medication for flu prevention and treatment in adults and children aged 1 year and older.

TAMIFLU is available in pill form.

TAMIFLU can be taken with or without food. As with many medicines, if you take TAMIFLU with a light snack, milk, or a meal, the potential for an upset stomach may be reduced.

For flu treatment take 1 dose twice daily for 5 days. For flu prevention take 1 dose once daily for 10 days.

From where to buy Tamiflu:

Tamiflu is available with many online pharmacy/clinic. But always make sure you buy Tamiflu only from the most trusted source. While buying from online source do check whether the pharmacy is registered or certified. Pharmacy/clinic in US need to certified with pharmacy checker, while in UK it should be registered with Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.

Symptoms of this in people include fever, sore throat, cough, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, & fatigue. Some have also reported diarrhea and vomiting. Severe illness and death has also occurred due to H1N1.
