Always follow your doctor’s instructions. The typical starting dose is 50mg, taken as needed, about an hour before sexual activity. Don’t take more than one tablet in a 24-hour period.
Adjusting Your Dose
Your doctor might adjust your dose based on your response and any side effects. A lower dose of 25mg may be prescribed if you experience side effects, while a higher dose of 100mg may be considered if 50mg is ineffective. This adjustment is personalized and depends on your individual needs.
Viagra works best on an empty stomach. Fatty foods can delay absorption and reduce effectiveness. Alcohol consumption can also impair its effectiveness and increase the risk of side effects. Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice, which can interact negatively with Viagra.
Important Considerations
Viagra isn’t for everyone. Men with certain heart conditions, low blood pressure, or specific eye problems should not use it. Talk to your physician about your medical history before starting treatment. If you experience chest pain, dizziness, or prolonged erection (priapism), seek immediate medical attention.
