In the history of the pharmaceutical industry, no drug has ever received such rave review and success as Viagra or Sildenafil citrate did. After it received approval on March 27, 1998 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the drug received widespread popularity as it proved to be an effective drug for the treatment of sexual health problem in men called erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence.
ED is generally a feeble condition of penile muscle and man suffering from it could not get or maintain penis erect enough for the process of sexual intercourse. It is very important to treat ED on time because it may lead to low self-esteem, sexual failure anxiety, and depression, stress and guilt and relationship conflicts.
Use of Viagra gives relief to men suffering from ED. Being the first marketed anti-ED drug, Viagra is also referred as king medicine for ED. It is an oral prescription medicine that not only helps a man gets an erection but also helps in maintaining it throughout the process of intercourse.
Viagra comes under the class of drug called phosphodiesterase inhibitors, it manipulates and blocks an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5), and helps the smooth muscles in the penis to get relaxed and widen, and that allows more blood to flow to the penis resulting in faster and easier erection.

A freighter containing 62,000 metric tons of popular impotence drug Viagra struck a reef and sank in Lake Michigan today. As a result, the once-frigid lake no longer dangles into Illinois and Indiana, but now spans majestically across northern Wisconsin.
According to eyewitnesses, roughly 30 to 60 minutes after the ship’s contents dissolved, the lake slowly but firmly began to push northwest toward Minnesota. Eventually, its swollen banks managed to poke aside Lake Superior, which cartographers said will lose its standing as the largest of the Great Lakes for the next four to six hours.
Area residents were surprised by the sudden shift, but conceded Michigan was “like an entirely new lake.”
“For so many years that lake just, you know, sat there,” said Martha Strop of Eau Claire, Wisc. “To be honest, I never even thought about it anymore. There wasn’t much of a point. But now, well, this has changed our lives forever.”
Government officials, however, were more cautious.
In Wisconsin, Gov. Scott McCallum declared a state of emergency, while in Minnesota, Gov. Jesse Ventura declared: “Is Lake Michigan a threat, or is it just glad to see me?”
