Is it Safe to Purchase Medicines online?

Online medicines safe or not, is always a question in mind of every individual while doing purchase online. We purchase many things online, but buying medicines online always is a matter of concern. Medicines along with the their healing effects also has some of the side effects that is what everybody is concerned about, so buying medicines online is always makes a person to think twice. Online purchase of the medicines is very beneficial for the customers, but some people are taking the wrong benefits from it and are selling the fake drugs to the customers. Every coin has two sides and same is the case with the online pharmacies, it also has positive as well as negative impacts. Online purchase of the medication according to me is a safe, only when you buy the medications from the genuine pharmacy.

Online pharmacies came to existence in the year 2000, when the Pfizer started selling its erectile dysfunction drug Viagra through the internet. This helped the Pfizer to reach the large number of customers and multiply its profits. So, the new phase in the pharmaceutical industry was started. Suddenly many of the drug manufacturers started their own websites and the online business of the medicines started booming day-by-day. But, some fake companies took the benefit of this and started selling the inferior quality drugs to the customer. So, the companies were alerted by the Food and Drug Administration that only the approved drugs should be allowed to be sold online. This rule is still not followed by the many online pharmacies, which still are following these fraud practices and creating the bad impression about the online pharmacies in the vision of customers.

Online pharmacies are in general a very good source of medicines in reality because it gives the maximum benefits to the customers. Previously the patient use to get only the prescription of the medication and he use to buy it. But, due to the online pharmacies he could better understand about his illness and then even get the better information about the medications. With the help of the online pharmacies he gets the better information about the medications, which includes the precautions, warning, and side effects. The patient was not aware of all these information previously. But, one thing I would like to stretch on is that buy and take only those medications online that are prescribed by doctor or health care provider, please don’t buy the drugs by your own.

The important benefit of the online pharmacies is that the medications that they sell here are cheaper in cost than the medicines you get at your local vendor. These things attract more customers toward the online pharmacies. But, now there is need that customer should be alerted about the things that must be checked to verify whether it would be safe to purchase the medications from the online pharmacy or not. The first thing the customer should check is that whether the drugs sold by the online pharmacy are FDA approved or not. If the drugs are not approved by the online pharmacy then please don’t purchase such drugs as they may have adverse effects on your health.

Customer should also check whether the online pharmacy whether the online pharmacy is real or just a pharmacy that’s selling the fraud drugs or want to encrypt your credit card information. The best thing to do these is call the pharmacy and ask for some their previous customers details or the references that would prove them as a genuine pharmacy. Also, please don’t buy from any of the pharmacies that are promising for the outstanding or unbelievable results. So, once you clarify all these points and you are satisfied then you could certainly go for it.

Will I Get Addicted to Viagra?



Yes, certainly you may get addicted to the Viagra if you use it is extensively and habitually for the long duration without taking a proper advice from the doctor. Viagra is the drug that is most extensively used by the men to cure impotence problem. Viagra helps the impotent men to enjoy the sexual ecstasy again by providing these men with the erection for about 4 hours. But, very important thing is that 1 pill of Viagra shows the effect only during the one sexual encounter. During the next sexual act men should take another pill of Viagra. This certainly makes the men to take the pills of Viagra every time when they want to get engaged in the sex. Suppose, you are having sex on daily basis and take the pill of Viagra on daily basis, then there are high chances that you may get addicted towards the use of the Viagra.

Viagra contains Sildenafil as the active ingredient that works as the inhibitor of the enzyme PDE-5 and improves the blood supply to the penis. Viagra also improves the blood supply to the penis by promoting the production of the enzyme cGMP. This phenomenon helps the men to overcome the impotence problem and get the strong, hard, and long-lasting erections for the sufficient time during the sexual intercourse. With the single dose of the Viagra is becomes easy for the men to enjoy the sexual ecstasy to its fullest. Viagra is not an aphrodisiac or the hormone, hence sexual stimulation is mandatory to show the effect of Viagra. Always remember to take the Viagra an hour before the sexual activity to see the best results.

Viagra is the kind of medications that is very helpful to the men in making their sex life the most passionate and enjoyable part of their life. But, still always there is a question, that whether Viagra causes addiction or not? Thus, to find the answer to this question, a study was conducted by the group of scientists. During the study 200 men suffering with the erectile dysfunction or impotence were given the doses of the Viagra on daily basis for about 2 weeks. After the completion of the 2 weeks these men were again asked to have the sex without Viagra. When these men tried this, 63% men were able to have sex without Viagra and remaining 37% failed to have the good erections during the sexual encounter. Thus, this study gave a clear idea that Viagra can cause addiction in men.

Then during the next phase of the study, another 200 men suffering with ED were then given the dose of the Viagra on alternative days for about 2 weeks. Then after 2 weeks these men were asked to have sex without Viagra, it was noted that 75% of the men were able to have sex and remaining 25% failed to have sex. Thus it was clear that 25% of the men who failed to have sex were addicted towards the Viagra. Thus, please note that if you take Viagra on regular basis then you may have the chances of getting addicted towards the Viagra.

Sex is the absolute necessity and specifically among the newly married couples the frequency of the sex is found to be more. These couples usually practice sex on daily basis. Suppose if the man who are newly married and suffers with the impotence problems then it is quite sure that he may use Viagra, but if he uses it regularly then he may get addicted to it and thus may fail to have erections without it. But, one has to understand that having the penetrative sex daily is not at all feasible because there are so much other sex options that may be helpful to you. Oral sex and masturbation can help the men suffering with the impotence to avoid the daily intake of the Viagra pills. Thus, the habitual intake of the Viagra pills is avoided and thus you may not get addicted to Viagra and will be safeguarded from the side effects caused by the habitual intake of the Viagra.
