I am presently using viagra for ED,and would like for you to comment on the best way to use it so it will be the most effective and successful. I understand that one's eating habits can cause delay in the success of Viagra. Thanks.
This visitor is absolutely correct. Viagra is best taken on an empty stomach. It will increase the success rate and decrease the time between taking the medication and its desired effects. Having a full stomach especially with foods containing high amounts of fat delays the absorption of the medication. A full stomach can also decrease the overall amount of medication that is absorbed which can decrease the medications ability to improve erectile function. The absorption of Levitra is also affected by taking it on an full stomach. The absorption of Cialis, on the other hand, is not altered by food and can be taken on a full stomach without changing the timing of or overall success.
