Brief Answer:
It depends upon the cause of ED

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that you have posted you seem to be facing a problem of ED .and have been prescribed Viagra by your Physician .

I shall be happy if you can post me more details to help me in making precise comments
1) Are you Diabetic ?
2) Do you have High Blood Pressure ?
3) Do you have normal sex desire ?

Normally the cause of ED is age related and is due to reduced level of Serum Testosterone and reduced blood flow to erectile tissue of penis due to generalized atherosclerosis , vasculitis and neuritis.

However Viagra should work for you .If it does not work you may need to get Color Doppler Ultrasound Scanning of Penis done to establish the diagnosis of Vasculogenic cause for your ED .


Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
