    Viagra is a medication classified as an anti-impotence agent.  Inhancing sexual function, Viagra increases a man's ability to acheive and maintain an erection by using a nitrate effect on the vascular system.  This, in turn, promotes ejaculation.  In recent studies, healthy sexual function has been linked to increased prostate health.  Patients who take other nitrates for cardiac function, or who  normally have a low blood pressure should not take Viagra due to the potential for dangerous side effects.
