In recent decades we have been witnessing a shift from the inactive, overweight mindset of many individuals to a culture that is more concerned about their personal fitness and health.  Dieting and weight loss is a major issue in society today.  There has been a noticeable increase in the number of new memberships at fitness centres, gyms, and other health clubs.  There has also been an increase in the number of dieting and weight loss pills that have come onto the market in recent years.

One of these products that are attracting considerable attention from many dieters and fitness experts is Xenical, the only prescribed “fat blocker” medication on the market.  The drug works by targeting the amount of fat that a person consumes and then blocks it from breaking down, so that nearly one third of the fat is not absorbed by the body’s cells and stored, thereby increasing weight.

The information above is basically what separates the product from all the other dieting and weight loss pills on the market.  Another distinguishing characteristic of Xenical is the fact that it is a true fat blocker and the only prescribed one currently available in the fitness and health industry.  It is not some run of the mill appetite suppressant that functions by affecting certain neurotransmitters in the brain thereby suppressing an individual’s appetite.  So you can readily see why the product has been gaining in popularity with people that need to lose weight for health reasons.

Sildenafil citrate, more commonly known as Viagra, is a type of drug most people have heard about. It was developed and marketed by Pfizer and became available on the market in 1998.

The drug’s primary use is in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Viagra works by relaxing the muscles and increasing blood flow to certain parts of the body, particularly the penis. It has been given nicknames like ‘the Blue Pill’ or ‘Vitamin V’.

Viagra became an international sensation, spawning thousands and thousands of imitations, including ‘herbal Viagra’. However, this is more than just a guy’s pill and Viagra is used in the treatment other conditions, as you will learn from the following list.

Sexual Dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction is caused by many factors, including diabetes and the use of anti-depressants. Viagra is used as a treatment for erectile dysfunction, otherwise described as the inability to maintain an erection for long enough to perform sexual intercourse.

Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease, for which Sildenafil is an effective treatment. Viagra reduces the workload of the heart’s right ventricle by relaxing the arterial wall, which in turn reduces pulmonary arterial pressure and resistance. This helps prevent right-side heart failure.

Altitude Sickness
High altitude pulmonary oedema or altitude sickness is treated with Sildenafil. This is a problem that afflicts many mountain climbers.

Sports
Since Viagra allows the muscles to relax and enhances the flow of blood through the body, some professional athletes use it to help improve their performance.

Plant wilting prevention
Cut flowers last longer if they are put in a mixture of Sildenafil diluted with water.

Sildenafil or Viagra is more than just a pill used by men to treat their erectile dysfunction. However, before popping any pills, be sure to consult your doctor.

Sexually transmitted infections are more common than most people imagine, in the age group 16 years to 20 years one woman in ten have an infection Chlamydia, and for men between twenty to twenty-four, the same number are suffering from this infection. Other diseases such as Syphilis have seen an increase by a massive fifty fold. HIV presents another problem as more and more people are becoming infected, it is known that as many as 1 in 3 people infected with the disease do not know that they have the problem.

As many sexually transmitted infections do not show immediate symptoms, it is more than possible that the person is unaware of the infection and because of this it is possible to infect a partner without knowing it. For this and for the possibility of medical risk it is important, especially for the sexually active, to be tested regularly. Tests take place at numerous centres in London and also in other major British towns also, these are completely confidential, so why take chances?
