V for Viagra!


Some of my friends knowing I'm joining the BE test(Clinical trial for drug development.)
I'm one of the volunteers who always join the studies. =)

Recently I join a special study....
Gotta get get...get get...
Sildenafil a.k.a Viagra!

This is marketed Viagra 50mg

I so interest with the effect of viagra other than the payment(RM520).
As Dr. Suresh say, u will never know the effect of drug except u try it.

This is a special study and I'm testing for Viagra sublingual spray. (spray under the tongue)
So if it is successful, then u all will meet it in the market soon and remember TAN WEI SHENG is one of the tester!
The dose taking is 4 sprays 50mg (12.5mg/ spray)
Viagra is used to treat erectile dysfunction by helping blood flow to penis.
It is also used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Common side effects: headache, hypotension, dyspepsia

Okie...Okie...no class anymore...(stop)
U all just interest about the effect, right?
Basically, the feeling of viagra spray is irritable (not nice) and very bitter.
People will ask is it will straight 'stim' after taking viagra?
Nope. It will only 'stim' if 'it' is stimulated which mean dirty mind or excited mind.haha
So, mind control is important.
Well, I found that 'it' is more easily to be stimulated (I called it 'stim') and taking longer time to 'calm down'. (nice description huh..)
In this test, it also testing FOOD affecting the effect of viagra.
And the 1st day, I get the side effect after breakfast -- stomache (I think dyspepsia)
2nd day is fine because without food before viagra administration.

So friends, please NOTIFY:
U're not advised to eat any thing 1 hour before u taking viagra
and Don't take viagra suka hati...except u found it 'stim' difficulty.
If u use spray, don't swallow your salive or anything 5min to ensure absorption.
(ma fan hor..)

I wonder the nurses see any thing on that day? >.<
