Viagra's rival is here. VigaPlus™ is a new
treatment for
erection
problems which hit South African
pharmacy shelves on Thursday, bringing with
promises of "36 hours of freedom" to achieve
an erection.

The drug is virtually side effect
free and can be taken without food or alcohol restraints. What's
more is that it has been shown to take effect in as little as 16
minutes. VigaPlus™ provides stiff competition to other drugs in its
category, that only have the capacity to act for four to six
hours. |

Cialis is the
latest innovation by pharmaceutical company
Eli Lilly in an attempt to capture South
Africa's lucrative anti-impotence market
that is estimated to be worth about R50
million.
Erectile dysfunction - the statistics
It is estimated that 52% of men over 40
worldwide suffer from erection problems, but
less than 15% of these men seek or receive
therapy for their condition.
In South Africa, a recent survey of primary
health care clinics in the Western Cape,
found that seven out of 10 men between the
ages of 35 and 70 years had some degree of
erectile dysfunction (ED). In Africa in
general, 11,5 million men suffer from
erection problems.
Prostate surgery, multiple sclerosis,
Parkinson's and spinal cord injuries have
also been known to cause ED.
Even the drugs given to treat common
conditions like hypertension, anxiety,
depression and cardiac conditions actually
cause ED as a side-effect, says Smart.
The downside of getting it up
Cialis boasts remarkably few side
effects, in fact in clinical trials, only 4%
of men reported experiencing them. The most
common side effects included things like
headaches, indigestion and facial flushing –
all side effects common to other oral PDE5
inhibitors.
Men who are receiving treatment with
nitrates or those with severe kidney, liver
or heart disease should not take Cialis.
Neither should men who have suffered a heart
attack in the last three months, a stroke in
the last six months or have low blood
pressure or uncontrolled high blood
pressure.
