Homoeopathy and 'Viagra'
(Sildenafil Citrate).
Dr. Sayeed Ahmad D. I. Hom. (London)



Erectile dysfunction is a persistent or recurrent inability to attain, or maintain until completion of sexual activity, an adequate penile erection. This replaces the earlier term 'Impotence'. Erectile dysfunction can seriously mar the quality of life of the patients. A range of drugs like Alcohol and medications like Antihistamines, Antidepressants and Antihypertensions can cause erectile dysfunction.

The factors which contribute for organic erectile dysfunction include :



Chronic Illness :

Atherosclerosis, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Renal Failure, Hepatic Failure, Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Pathology, Peyronie’s Disease, Depression, Anxiety, Hyperthyroidism, Hypothyroidism, Hypogonadism, Hyperprolactinaemia.



Surgery :

Radical Prostatectomy, Resection of the rectum, Major Pelvic Surgery.



Trauma :

Neurological, Spinal Cord Injury, Pelvic Injury.



Drugs :

Alcohol, Substance of abuse, Smoking.



Radiotherapy :

External beam, Irradiation of the pelvis.



Medications :

Antihypertensives, Thiazide Diuretics, Beta-Blockers, Antidepressants (Tricyclics), Harmones (Steroidal Antiandrogens), Tranquillzers (Phenothiazines), H2 Antagonists, Lipid Lowering Substances like 'Statins'.

Majority of sexual dysfunctions are primarily psychogenic in origin. Anxiety concerning sexual performance and fear of sexual failure are the most salient immediate causes of erectile difficulties. A history of sexual abuse, guilt about sexuality, and early homosexual experiences are among the more common factors that underline sexual dysfunction. Psychological causes include depression like major depressive episode or dysthymia, stress, anger, interpsychic problems, performance anxiety, low self-esteem. A man may have a good erection with masturbation, but not when sexually active with his regular partner.

In Allopathy 'Sildenafil Citrate' is the new oral therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It usually acts within an hour of administration. The drug enables erections to occur in response to but not in the absence of sexual stimulation. The manufacturer recommends caution if Sidenafil is used in patients with bleeding disorders or peptic ulcers or eye disorders or with poor cardiac status. Blood pressure is reduced transiently by Sildenafil 100 mg. However, larger blood pressure reductions may be observed when Sildenafil is given with nitrates.

Sildenafil under the brand name 'VIAGRA' is being sold in America and now even in Indian market Sildenafil is available under different brand names. It is very unfortunate that media has given very much importance to this drug by highlighting on the advantages by ignoring its serious side effects especially in those who are suffering from cardiovascular diseases. It is surprising to know that during April 1998 to February 2000, 522 people died from cardiovascular problems due to the side effects of Sildenafil. A majority of people who died were below 65 years of age with no cardiac risk factors (diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol or smoking). Secondly, Nitrates alongwith Sildenafil can cause serious cardiovascular events with fatal outcome.

The Nitrate drugs are :

Isosorbide Dinitrate.
Isosorbide-5-Mononitrate.
Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate.
Glyceryl Trinitrate.
Amyl Nitrate or Nitrite (Inhaled Forms)

Those patients are using the above Nitrates drugs should not use Sildenafil since it may cause potential life threatening hypotension, dizziness, faintness or even a heart attack or stroke.

Therefore, Sildenafil ('Viagra' or its other versions) is not the right choice for all men. In addition to this drug, many people take the help of Vaccum Constriction Device, Penile Injection Therapy, Intraurethral Therapy, Surgery. All of these treatments have different complications and side effects.



Adverse Reactions of 'Sildenafil' :

Headache, flushing, dyspepsia, nasal congestion, urinary tract infection, abnormal vision, diarrhoea, dizziness, rash, respiratory tract infection, back pain, flu syndrome, arthralgia, angina pectoris AV block, migraine, syncope, tachycardia, palpitation, hypotension, postural hypotension, myocardial ischaemia, cerebral thrombosis, cardiac arrest, heart failure, abnormal electrocardiogram, cardiomyopathy , ataxia, hypertonia, neuralgia, neuropathy, paresthesia, tremor, vertigo, depression, insomnia, somnolence, abnormal dreams, decreased reflexes, hyperaesthesia, seizure, anxiety, urticaria, herpes simples, pruritus, sweating, skin ulcer, contact dermatitis, exfoliative dermatitis, vomiting, glossitis, colitis, dysphagia, gastritis, gastroenteritis, esophagitis, stomatitis, dry mouth, abnormal liver function tests, rectal hemorrhage, gingivitis, thirst, edema, gout, unstable diabetes, hyperglycemia, peripheral edema, hyperuricemia, hypoglycemic reaction, hypernatremia, arthritis, arthrosis, myalgia, tendon rupture, tenosynovitis, bone pain, myasthenia, synovitis, mydriasis, conjunctivitis, photophobia, tinnitus, eye pain, deafness, ear pain, eye hemorrhage, cataract, dry eyes, diplopia, temporary vision loss/decreased vision, ocular redness or bloodshot appearance, ocular burning, ocular swelling/pressure, increased intra-ocular pressure, retinal vascular disease or bleeding, vitreous detachment/traction and paramacular edema, face edema, photosensitivity reaction. Shock,asthenia, pain, chills, accidental fall, abdominal pain, allergic reaction, chest pain, accidental injury.

In view of all the above negative factors, complications and adverse reactions, Homoeopapthy has the best and the safest possible treatment to cure the problem of erectile dysfunction quite effectively without any complications or side effects. In general terms 'Erectile Dysfunction' means 'Impotency'. For more details on this subject, please read my book 'Homoeopathic Management of Male Sexual Disorders', published by B. Jain Publishers (P) Ltd., New Delhi (India) as well as my Article 'Impotency'.
