Looking at bluechew to help with ED. To my understanding, it’s generic viagra (Sildenafil). I am young (20’s) on a first class medical. What effects will this have on recertification. Thank you.
 
Go see a doctor.

True story, I have buddy who is/was a driver for UPS, hooked up with a nympho girlfriend who gave him a run for his money, he's an older guy, 50's. So he got mail order Viagra and popped them as needed, sometimes doubling or maybe tripling up, this girl was wild, according to him. She lasted with him about 6 months. Less than a year or so later, he's taking an eye exam for his driving physical, fails the test in one eye due to some type of damage. Now he's chucking boxes, has about 7 years before he can retire. Was it Viagra??? Maybe. 20's is too young for issues like this IMO, go see a real doc and figure it out.
 
This link someone posted up thread is well written: https://www.leftseat.com/faa-medical-certification-viagra-levitra/

Incidentally, there's a great chemistry channel that did a video on this, see below

And lastly.. the drug doesn't actually "do" anything per se, as the article above notes your body still has to get the initial chemicals flowing.. I would advise not getting hooked and dependent on this stuff, especially at such a young age. Spend some time on yourself emotionally/mentally first before throwing chemicals at your body

 
all the jokes aside, ED can appear unannounced at any age, due to other underlying health conditions or injury to pelvic region among many other reasons. @AggieMike88 's post covers how to handle in respect to flying
 
Old Italian men eat handfuls of pignoli (pine seeds, usually called "pine nuts") for both ED and BPH. I have no idea if they work, but they taste good. They also don't make you go blind. Personally, I'd try them before Viagra if I had that problem. But I'm an old Italian man, so of course I would.

They're pricey, though, unless you buy them from a wholesale club.

I am not a doctor. I'm not even very smart. You probably should ignore everything I say.

I can’t help but think of “dear penthouse..”

I rx a fair amount of vitamin V. Eye issues are rare. Took years to discover the side of effect. Non-arteritic optic neuropathy is rare- usually happens to older diabetic men with heart disease but can be associated with ppl that double up triple up like your friend.
younger cats need it at times. But need work up for vascular diseaSe IMO. As it could be sign of other issues

Yeah, it's not me, it's my buddy, I made the connection to the V not him so it could be due to other causes. He's been to the doctors, they just tell him they can't fix it. But the timing was suspect to me and he is screwed, luckily he is scrappy enough to keep up with the younger guys tossing those packages. Ups doesn't let them drive with only one good eye. He can see out of the affected eye, but can't pass an eye test, so it's obviously degraded, I think he said it's a wrinkle in his retina or something like that. I'm not a doctor, just sgoti.
 
WillyUnable. OP username and thread topic go hand in hand ;) ! LMAO.
 
I was going to make a comment like "Do you think masturbation is getting out of hand!" Just like this thread.
 
Don't give OP the shaft on this. Or a hard time. I'm not surprised this topic popped up.

since this popped up again.

use could be indicative of an underlying medical problem. With regards to certification, it might make it harder.
 
I don't know if I saw the correct answer in all the jokes, but Viagra (and similar drugs) are permitted as long as you don't take them within 8 hours of flight. There are a couple of concerns, one is a possible loss of blood pressure (especially when taken with certain high blood pressure meds) and effects on color vision.

Cialis requires 24 hours before flying, as does alprostadil.
 
The 2.5mg or 5mg Cialis can be used daily but the higher strengths used PRN require 24 hours before flying.
