Viagra and erections: Do the benefits persist?
When Viagra (sildenafil) burst on the scene in 1998, it was a revolutionary development. Within months, it became clear that the drug could help about 70% of men with erectile dysfunction. Within a year, the medication had established an enviable safety record, even for men with stable heart disease (though it should never be used by men taking nitrates in any form or by men with unstable cardiovascular problems).
These early observations have held up, but as Viagra has settled into the mainstream, doctors are starting to ask how it affects men who have used it for several years.
