Viagra is the brand name for the drug sildenafil, which is prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction. The way it works is that it enhances the effect of nitric oxide, a natural chemical that relaxes the penis muscles and stimulates blood flow there. Viagra can be obtained at regular pharmacies or the internet. However, in both places you must have a doctor's prescription to buy it safely and legally.
Step
Part 1 of 2: Getting Recipes
Step 1. Go to the doctor
There are several online sellers that offer "Viagra" without a prescription, but this is clearly illegal. For your safety, only buy Viagra from a legitimate and trusted seller. One way to know that a place is safe and legal is that they require you to have a doctor's prescription. Before trying to buy Viagra, go to your doctor for a prescription.
- Find out if the cost of this doctor's visit is covered by health insurance. If you have health insurance and don't want to pay unexpected bills, contact the insurance company before you go to the doctor to see if the doctor's services are covered by insurance.
- Although it is emotionally difficult to discuss the use of Viagra with a doctor, research shows that 80% of men feel better after discussing the problem of erectile dysfunction with a doctor.
Step 2. Prepare before you go to the doctor
So that a visit to the doctor can give maximum results, prepare questions and answers in advance. Be prepared to ask questions about side effects, contraindications (or health conditions that prevent you from taking Viagra, such as heart disease, stroke, liver or kidney disease, etc.), and risks when taking Viagra. Also ask the effects that you can get by taking these drugs. Also be prepared to give your complete medical history, and answer some questions about why you want to take Viagra:
- Why would you want to use Viagra?
- When did you start having erectile dysfunction?
- Has erectile dysfunction always been a problem for you? How often do you experience it?
Step 3. Get a Viagra prescription
After discussing erectile dysfunction and medical history, ask your doctor to prescribe Viagra. You can ask your doctor to send the prescription directly to the pharmacy you want, or you can bring your own prescription and buy Viagra at the pharmacy or online.
Remember, Viagra is produced in three doses: 25, 50, and 100 milligrams. Your doctor will prescribe the best dose for you
Step 4. Consider your insurance coverage
If you have health insurance, confirm the coverage of this insurance plan online or with a customer service representative. Along with other basic personal information (such as date of birth), have your health insurance ID number ready when you log in to the internet or talk to a customer service representative on the phone. Ask if Viagra is covered by your insurance plan.
- If Viagra is not covered by insurance, ask if other drugs that can also be used to treat erectile dysfunction (eg Levitra or Cialis) are covered by your insurance. After that, ask your doctor if you can use this alternative medicine.
- If you don't have health insurance, consider getting one. You don't need to have health insurance just to buy Viagra, but the prescription will usually be cheaper if you have insurance. There are many factors to consider if you want to buy health insurance, such as rates, coverage, HMO, PPO, or EPO plans, discounts, and so on. If you really want to have health insurance, take the time to determine and compare the available services before you choose one.
- The existence of insurance that is willing to cover the drug makes the way to get Viagra is different. If your insurance covers the purchase of Viagra, the co-pay (half price―half paid by the insurer) to redeem the prescription will usually be the same across pharmacies. So you don't have to shop around to compare prices. And asking your doctor to send the prescription directly to the pharmacy allows you to get the medicine faster. However, if Viagra is not covered by insurance, go to several pharmacies with a doctor's prescription to get the cheapest price.
Part 2 of 2: Getting Viagra
Step 1. Take your Viagra prescription to the pharmacy
This is the standard method of obtaining Viagra. The doctor can send the prescription directly to the pharmacy you want, or you can bring it yourself to the pharmacy. After receiving a prescription for Viagra, it may take the pharmacy from a few minutes to a day to give you the medicine.
- When picking up a prescription, be prepared to co-pay if you have insurance, and pay in full if you don't have insurance. If you have health insurance, don't forget to bring an insurance card to give to the pharmacy.
- Your pharmacist will probably tell you how to use it and the risks. This is standard procedure for new recipes and may be of use to you.
Step 2. Buy Viagra over the internet
The online world has played a big role in the sale of Viagra, and it's no wonder there are so many online scams. If you want to buy Viagra over the internet, you need to be careful and do a detailed search. Be sure to choose an online pharmacy or an authorized seller. The US Pharmacy Association or NABP (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy) has a website that you can use to check if the online pharmacy you choose is licensed and accredited as a verified online pharmacy or VIPPS (Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Site).
- Watch for the following bad signs: significantly lower prices than other online sellers; does not include contact information, such as address or telephone number on its website; You don't need to have a prescription to get Viagra; Viagra is available in various forms, apart from the 3 commercially available doses (25, 50, and 100 mg), such as "the drug dissolves quickly", "soft tablets", and so on.
- Be careful when buying drugs over the internet even if you have entered the correct prescription and dosage. Also check when you receive the medicine, whether the Viagra has the same dosage and type of medicine as recommended by the doctor.
Step 3. Never order Viagra from an online seller that doesn't require you to provide a doctor's prescription
This is dangerous and illegal. "Fake" Viagra usually contains several harmful ingredients, such as blue printing ink, amphetamines, metronidazole (a strong antibiotic that can cause allergic reactions, vomiting, or diarrhea), and binders (such as gypsum or drywall).
- Viagra is one of the most counterfeit drugs worldwide. A study says that 80% of Viagra selling websites actually sell fake drugs.
- To keep you healthy and free from this harmful and harmful substance, only buy Viagra at your local pharmacy or accredited online retailer.
Step 4. Use Viagra
After successfully getting Viagra, you can start using it. Always follow the instructions given by the doctor regarding the dosage and frequency of use. In general, Viagra is taken on an empty stomach approximately 1 hour before sexual intercourse. Remember, not following the doctor's instructions can be life-threatening.
- Don't use Viagra just for fun.
- Do not mix Viagra with amyl nitrite because it can be fatal.
- Although very rare, there are very few men who report side effects when taking Viagra, such as redness, runny or stuffy nose, headache, impaired vision, and dizziness. Get medical help right away if you have vision/hearing problems, or have persistent erections (after more than 4 hours).
Warning
- Don't be lured into buying 'herbal viagra'. This product is ineffective and may contain harmful ingredients.
- If you think you have purchased and received a counterfeit Viagra product, contact a consumer protection service, such as BPKN (National Consumer Protection Agency) or YLKI (Indonesian Consumers Foundation).
