Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. Yes, you can use Viagra if you do not have a heart condition. Drugs should be used half an hour after food, one hour before sex, and no smoking or alcohol during the drug intake. It will be helpful in maintaining erection only, and drugs will not initiate and increase libido or sexual stimulation.

Side effects like dizziness, headache, flushing, or stomach upset may occur. Vision changes such as increased sensitivity to light, blurred vision, or trouble telling blue and green colors apart may also occur. If the erection persists for more than four hours, immediately seek medical attention. If it is not treated immediately, penile tissue damage and permanent loss of potency can occur.
