hahaha! 'Have you ever developed an impromptu deco trapeze?'

Why don't you just asked straight question like if I take these are a regular basis to help my normal functions to work more efficiently
would it affect me diving at any time.
sorry can't help you because I've don't to these on a regular basis I mean never...............

i refuse to rise to the direction you wish to take this conversation in opcorn:

just to fill you in im a paramedic ,

there me thinking are paramedics had a sissy humour sorry for the comment just to inform you a deep check on your profile first.
forget I made the comment

Is viagra a vasoconstrictor? Id have thought vasodilator, either way it'd be uncomfortable in a drysuit with a squeeze.....

arrrgggghhhhh . viagra is a vasodiolator . sorry bout that . im looking at 4 drugs and there effects on diving . got a little messed up in the head ....

its a vaso slimulant and reccessor . it reduces the autonomic responces and can effect blood flow

apparently they are bringing our viagra eye drops....they make you look well 'ard

I once got one stuck in my throat, I had a stiff neck for ages...


Viagra is a trade name and an expensive option, sildenafil, cialis ect are marketed as generic viagra at much more affordable prices......so I am told

I have dropped these on occasion, well, you know, why not, so I guess that puts me in the 'social' bracket and have been diving the day after with no noticeable effects.


Go on..you know you are curious

When I was reading around high BP I saw an interesting article about erectile dysfunction in middle age men being linked to heart disease and clogged arteries, recommendation was that anyone seeing there doctor about 'problems' should get at least a BP check up. Think you'd have a hard time working out where Heart Disease/BP issues end and issues with vasodilators begin unless you could find a group who took vasodilators and definitely didn't have BP/Heart Disease issues. Good luck.

Do you mean ascent or accent? If viagra has an affect on ones vocal chords... well, I'd suggest not putting things other than a breathy thing in your mouth while diving... but to each his or her own.

that final double-entendre was completely unintended

If you get one stuck in your throat does it make you sound hard?

If it gets stuck in your ear does it make you hard of hearing?

I reckon Frosty's the man for you.

Would have to go up a few sizes on the old Rochester widebands !!!!

I bloody hope so or you've wasted your money.

cialis is not generic viagra. Viagra=sildenafil, cialis=tadalafil

leaflets and SPC (summary of product characteristics) here What's New - electronic Medicines Compendium (eMC)

Please don't buy this stuff off sites on the net. Some of the stuff has the wrong active, no active, too much/little active, dangerous excipients etc. I've seen the results of some of the raids the MHRA have done, and it is positively scary. Be careful out there and don't get hurt. Please. There are a few registered pharmacies online who will provide the genuine product after an online 'consultation', but to be honest even if they are legal, I'd recommend a real face-to-face consultation with your doctor if you think you are affected by these issues.

The fake/counterfeit issue is something I really do know about (unlike most of the crap I post on here) as it is part of my job, so pleeeaaasssseee be careful out there.

That's nob....no K....

I don't know about viagra but I've found an orange injected with amyl nitrate affects my diving next day. If nothing else, long car journeys are particularly uncomfortable and my neck seal rubs where the belt has been.

This may help (but probably won't). All I can say is I'd hate to feel that ill underwater.
