It needs prescription, correct?
It's possible to order it from Indian pharmacies or one can pick it up while on vacation in the third world.
First NIH said it does: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/viagra-... Then it doesn't: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-dream-stud... Then it does: https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2024-06-07-sildenafil-viagra-impro... Who knows what to believe.
Maybe these studies are particularly hard

Honest question: do we need to believe one or the other ?
Or can we get away with "it depends" or "it works on some subjects and not on others"
Viagra increases the effect of nitric oxide, which is bad stuff when it gets into cytochrome complex iv in the mitochondria (IIRC). I would personally suspect based on that, that its effects on brain health would be negative in spite of blood flow.
2. There's no such thing as increasing "the effect" of such a nonspecific chemical as nitrogen oxide. There's tons of effects, and it increases some of them. Also, can the active ingredient get into mitochondria?
Well. too sad I can't take it. It gives me terrible heartburn (an acute stomach pain, not a heart related condition) that only partially responds to anti-acids such as Alka Seltzer. Also, extremelly stuffy nose, to the point where basically I need to breath by the mouth. And the red eyes, eyes as red as if had just smoke the biggest and strongest joint ever. Yes, I tried to use it recreationally a few times. It is no…
Ive gone through a decent amount of generics over the years, from several sources, and even though the label is the same, they almost all act differently on me. Some give me a flushed red face. Some cause a dull headache. Some don't cause anything negative thank God. They all work though.
I think the Indian/Chinese ones are laced with garbage and what I feel depends on what else was in there.
Wasn't this class of medication originally for cardiovascular issues, and the whole ED mitigation was a happy marketable accident?
you know what else would? walkable cities more time off from work more third spaces less air pollution less inequality of course none of that "increases productivity or GDP" so the ruling class won't consider it. of course when they start dying like Japan with low birth rates, their 'solution' is to have a government funded dating app instead of doing the obvious.
