Topic: Pharmacology



Expert: Dr Alan Galbraith

Subject: Viagra/Cialis

Question
What are the effects of viagra/cialis on a young healthy male not needing them? Lots of people today use it for recreation and not 'needing' it.

Answer
Dear Sam

Most healthy young men have no adverse reactions to these two drugs but below find the list of adverse effects that may be encountered. I see no point in using this drug unless impotence is a problem otherwise it is a waste of money for no end result whatsoever.

Regards

Dr Alan Galbraith
