Before & After Viagra: How Does Viagra Affect You?

What if things don’t improve after Viagra?

Viagra doesn’t always improve erectile dysfunction for everyone. In around 5% of men, Viagra works once or twice and then fails to improve erections afterwards. This is known as a ‘transient unsustainable improvement’. For around 12% of men who take the  drug properly, it just fails to work, while a further 12% of men can’t bring themselves to take the medication after they get it.
